TBC

No, that was a Wrath feature, not TBC. Plenty of specs were near useless in TBC. Early TBC Retribution Paladins was called a leveling spec by the game's lead designer.

I'm going to leave this one open for a little while, and close the other 50 threads on how bad/good/amazing Cataclysm is.

No No..not really, 10 mans are much harder and badly tuned.

Analysing at what glo posted:

Cataclysm
Reforging <- Too minor, especially in comparison to JC
Archeology
New races <-- Done in TBC, so not New
Guild leveling
Guild achievements <-- Too minor, just an expansion of achievements
New zones <-- Done in Vanilla, TBC and WOTLK already
Complete visual and questing revamp of old zones <-- Re-doing old stuff is not NEW
Flying in azeroth <-- Flying is not new, done in TBC
Equalization of 10 / 25 man raids <-- Too minor, compared to addition of 10/25 variants in WOTLK
Improved graphics <-- Nothing big enough to be NEW
Completely unique underwater zone

So you've identified three new things. How do you think these compare to the new things added in WOTLK/TBC?

Cata doesnt have a lot of new stuff... feels more like a huge patch than a expansion

You're doing it wrong. There was a NEW race for each faction. Not the same race from BC over again. A new one. If you don't like it, whoopdie-doo but it's new, and you don't get to just discount it because an entirely new race was introduced before. Reforging is a significant aspect of gearing now that applies above and beyond gemming. Again, you don't just get to discount it becuase you don't understand it. New zones are a key part of every expansion. The concept of adding new zones is not new, but the zones themselves are. Again, you're wrong. Completely facelift of the world. It's new. You may be too self absorbed in the fantasy of your life to realize that, but every single time you step into a zone, you are seeing content, brand new content, that was not there prior to the expansion. This is true for flying as well so I'm not even going to dignify that.

You seriously just need to quit the game. The sooner the better, both for yourself and anyone who has the misfortune of running into a curmudgeon like you in the game world.

well in a way it kind of was. they spent a lot of time brimgimg the old world up to date, and did an amazing job too. unfortunately that directed focus away from endgame (5 new dungeons, 13 new raid bosses compared to wrath and bc at release).

honestly if you're bored between raids just jump on a ground mount and explore the 1-60 stuff. there's loads to see, you don't even need to do quests (but i imagine they help )

Off-topic but: Despite being the bane of my existence, (Night Elf Rogue) you sir, are awesome. Every time I come into one of these threads to berate some dumbass OP (and damn are there a lot of them recently!) you have always beaten me to the punch to sort their mouth-breathing asses out. Let's be friends? As in, don't kill Drakhar the Undead Warlock waving to you in BGs, (or ambush me) and I promise not to cannibalize you.

OP is obviously another baddie who can probably be heard yelling: "LICH KING WUZ BETTER LOLOLOL." Really though, just quit, stop hurting our brains with your stupidity and baseless opinions that you consider fact.

I appreciate the compliment, I think, and yes I find the OP's points to be utterly ridiculous, but there's no reason to resort to that kind of namecalling.

Actually personally saying wrath heroics had a much more flavor to it, granted they were easy. But they were unique. Cata dungeons 2 are a rip off of BRD. ONly 2 are unique the rest are yea whatever and only 7.HHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAH its a joke wrath had more and were unique and dont give me the crap they werent.
