Don't get me wrong, they all had great reveal trailers, especially BfA and Legion (and then again, I am biased because it hits different because that was the one reveal I was there for in person), however, nothing comes close to Cata.
They dared to scrap the entire world.
This shot of the Barrens having a huge chasm broke my small kid brain.
Along with that, having Goblins and Worgen, two of the most requested races, and Tauren Paladins or Troll Druids, new race and class combinations, something unprecedented.
In hindsight, yeah, it's quaint, but back then it was the hypest shit ever. The only thing that came close to that was the shot of a Blood Elf wielding the Ashbringer and then the reveal of Artifact weapons.

I agree. To this day I'm sad that we didn't get Worgen Alpha models. Especially the female ones. I kinda wished they introduced updated models in 8.2 based on them. Still not too late to give us a taste in Cataclysm Classic if it happens. And then the Beta came... Regardless of all that, I remember being 12 when it came out and was super excited to open the christmas present that had the CD box.
Dragonflight as the new player experience is a bad idea. It's not a good way for people to get used to the Warcraft setting at all.

I agree but honestly BfA isn’t great either, specifically for the Horde.
Nathanos, Sylvanas and Rastakhan aren’t exactly … relevant … “Horde” characters.
Even the Alliance side is mostly just random Kul’tiran (Jaina is MIA in Thros for most of leveling) characters and Shandris…
I think it's up in the air how DF works for new players, but I think it works well as kind of a "tutorial island" before brand new players get thrown into a revamp/the true World of Warcraft. They would get introduced to race, class and faction lore there.
They will definitely be changing the cutscene you get after Exiles Reach.

Hey blizz whats this secret 3rd thingy for the guild class. Do you have next xpack dungeons???
Hold up it literally says this:
Event 3: New Content Showcase
Watch this space for more information on a 3rd event showcase to wrap the show!
New content that isn't 10.2
There are hardly any old characters in EK/Kalimdor, both the vanilla and cata versions. Going around and helping random people is probably the most vanilla-like leveling experience.
edit: also found the source, it was the interview Ion and Graham did for 10.1.5 with the community council see: https://www.wowhead.com/news/communi...ntation-334071

I mean, sending players from Exiles Reach to the Dragon Isles makes more sense than sending them straight to Kul'tiras/Zandalar as well.
