Cataclysm overall was very unfairly the victim of a lot of hate from this community. In my opinion it's the best expansion so far (I should note in the name of fairness that I've been unsubbed since a couple of months before Pandaria came out). I levelled multiple alts on both continents and absolutely loved the new lowbie zones (although some of them were better off how they were, namely Eastern Plaguelands). The only gripe I had with Cataclysm was how disorienting Vashj'ir was. I hated that place.
