TBC was the final nail in the coffin, but it was no masterpiece before that either with their Everquest philosophy on "progression"
>>
it's pretty obvious cataclysm was a huge fuck up, with amateur-hour devs thinking they could redesign the whole world and do a better job than the original dev team (guess what, they didn't)

wrath and BC both introduced too many conveniences though, that bring us to the mindless state the game is in today
>>
>>339242492
Cataclysm.
Fittingly enough, it was the first Expansion made completely under Activision.

Conversely, I actually fucking love female Draenei. That was the momen when I stopped playing and started fapping.

Many games have porn that is better than the game itself (League of Legends, and more recently: Overwatch)
But I'm still sad it happened to WoW.

Don't forget the resilience stat, badge farming and the concept of catch up gear, and those lovely super powerful epics you could buy from smith hauthaa on the isle of quel danas for badges you piled up from running heroic dungeons (but not shadow labs because that one was a toughie!)
>>
>>339242639
Don't forget that in tbc the mount cast time was cut in half and thats where they did the first level reduction for learning how to use the 60% movement speed mounts.

In WoW's defense, you'd have to make an impossibly good game to overshadow the fact that it has based blue goats.

BC was the expansion that made wow from an MMO into a glorified lobby.
The power gap between level 59 and level 61 characters became due to Tier 2 stat leveling greens, endgame content was put int its separate zone with zero interaction with the old world, there was never any reason to leave outlands once you got there. All azeroth content was obsoleted in a single patch, making the world smaller.
All dungeons were linear corridors around a central hub. Literally every single one. Auch, HFC, tempest keep, serpentshrine, everything was just a couple of doors right next to each other.
For fuck's sake there was only one capital city in outlands and it was a """""sanctuary""""".

It wasn't enough to make all old world content obsolete with a single patch, they made the previous patch content obsolete with the subsequent patch with badges and daily grind bullshit.

Flymounts killed the entire concept of world design. You could just skip the world zone content. Having to navigate the geography? Meeting other players? Fighting mobs on your way to the destination? Fuck all that, it's not like this is an MMO or anything.

Or how about arenas. It's such a great idea to introduce deathmatch as the serious pvp mode in a class based game. Oh wait, class based pvp doesn't work with deathmatch because it was fundamentally designed for objective based pvp modes like capture the flag and territory control. What do we do? Let's add resilience! Now every fight is boring because damage mitigation makes healing overpowered.
It's almost as if introducing 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 pvp deathmatch in a game balanced around 10v10 objective based pvp was a retarded idea.

The raids were cool though.

Content drought mostly. Need to keep that content flowing or people won't subscribe to your shit.

Raidlogging killed wow.
Leveling + 5 man dungeons and world pvp was the golden formula.
After they found a way to make people pay the subscription fee without playing the game, they saw that those world pvp enthusiasts were having too much fun and increasing the server load.
So they killed world pvp with flymounts and introduced pvplogging with arenas.

Fuck molten core patch and upwards.

Mid cata raidfinder killed pve, catch up mechanics in wotlk already threw again a lot of content and it does it to this day, rated bgs came way too late, crossrealm servers removed server communities, pay2win shop rekt the economy even more and gives blizzard active control over it. The "no content" meme would not exist without letting people skip endgame content by giving free raid level gear.
The overall difficulty is way too low. 95% of the game has zero challenge while the only challenging part is a rehash or existing content with more lasters to keep the turbo nerds interested

>Vanilla faggots
take your rose colored goggles off, BC was great, WOTLK was great. Catacylsm was meh, MoP was fun. WoD is the first expansion where I've felt shafted by Blizzard in terms of content and quality.

Vanilla was great in its time, but if you compare it to the rest of wow its has endless tedious bullshit to it, I literally sat through all of molten core and blackwing lair half paying attention and watching movies while we did full clears. Vanilla really wasn't that good.
>>
>>339246008
bullshit

I started playing late wrath, and I've recently started playing Kronos (before overwatch came out, im lvl 43) which is almost 100% blizzlike and no sped up exp, think i have 6-7 days played time, yet I've fucking enjoyed every second of it, besides the recent DDoS shit, which is fixed the server is literally perfectly scripted.

Vanilla literally feels like the Warcraft i've always kind of wanted, explain how someone who started playing the game during the cancer period of it's life is drawn to vanilla more than ever.

Also I'm not a retard who does a garrison once and a shipyard once, LFR halfway and complains there's not content, I've always been around in top 20 world guilds for raiding.

I cleared everything up to half naxx including patchwork with only 3 buttons of the same ability. Rank 4, 7 and 11 healing touch. The mechanical part is obviously really simple and not what made it good. More that everything in the world really matters, no daily quests, just farming mats. Good loot was not always connected to item level, like in diablo2.
It's more of a d&d in the warcraft universe

Not even going to get in to the mess of the endgame, but these are my problems with playing the game nowadays

>The community went to shit and started to reject new players around 2009
>Cataclysm ruined what should have been a timeless story by moving the story forward from the get go, making it seem like YOUR journey started too late.
>The skill progression system became far too stiff because the devs wanted to implement dungeon finders, meaning no hybrid builds could exist

>Every class is now available to nearly every race, giving no reasons to play anything other than the race you like

I think my biggest problem with WoW in general is it's a game with a huge amount of worthwhile content that actively tries to deter you from experiencing it in a meaningful way.

Again, I could get in to the problems with the endgame dungeon crawling and monotonous gear grinding, but the problems are well documented. The games problems extend beyond that.

Havok hasn't been like that since the end of the alpha and that talent was removed, right now the best performing havok build is animation cancling/movement build which above averagely complex and requires macros to function.

Wotlk was a mixed bag

It added engaging dps rotations, dual spec and hard mode.

It also trivialised threat, started bring the player not the class, LFD and making content obsolete which came out in the same expansion.

Basically Havok has a bunch of abilities that displace your toon but do a bunch of damage/generate rage, using animation canceling macros you can get these bonuses without the dps loss so you can do a lot of damage but it makes your rotation vaguely complex.
This runs counter to the shit poster I was replying too's claim that havok is a 2 button spec (because WoW now can only be easy/appeal to casuals).

I'm worried about tanks. Threat a non-issue, dps castrated (needed to be reduced but not destroyed), and now you're just a massive hp bar that needs to be topped up all the time. What tank gameplay is left? There's no real maximising your AM any more, can't game vengeance and balance your survival vs dps. Most tank mechanics are basic tank swaps. Tanks have barely any utility (the dragon soul 4p sets were great).

Also, are DH tanks far and above the others on the beta?

Wotlk was disappointment for affi lock rotations wise

what is wrong with "bring the player, not the class"? Do you think that people should be arbitrarily punished by Blizzard balancing for the class they chose at character creation, regardless of their actual skill?
>>
Too much instanced PVP. nothing to do, no reason to go out in the world because no outdoor raid bosses, too much instanced everything.
A lot of fun in vanilla was being low level and stumbling across raids marching out to go kill Lethon or Ysondre, fuck, raids don't even fly anywhere anymore, everyone just gets summoned by the warlocks because the warlocks ARE ALWAYS KEKS, that's why they had to do away with soul shards and all of the soul farming because warlocks were tired of feeling like cucks.

The issue there is in theory you're right in practice we just end up with shit like

Only warrior tanks matter
Pallies can only heal
Shamans are literally just manatide (same with shadow priests)
Warlocks are just stones summons and CoE

Basically everyone just gets to be mages and rogues support staff.

I'd rather play a class with 3 viable specs then a class with one viable spec for one roll or that's literally only in the raid for a single spell.

Agree. Flying Mounts destroys every fun becoming from exploring areas. I throwing out every MMO with them, even Final Fantasy XIV goes into trash.
>>
It was a downward spiral starting with TBC but wasn't really officially "bad" until Cata.
TBC introduced the now infamous flying mounts and catchup mechanics with badges aswell as (very poorly) introduced arenas and resilience which made PvP not only a chore but a fucking boring dueling chore. But for all its faults its still the best expansion WoW ever had and was easily more difficult than most of Vanilla in terms of PvE. TBC also kinda introduced Dungeon Finder but ill give it a pass since it wasn't the community killing abomination it became later.
Wrath obviously made content way more accessible(see:easy) and later introduced the mechanic of having different versions of the same raid for casuals and hardcore raiders. PvP also somehow got worse in Wrath with the introduction of EMFH which made it so if you weren't a human you were at an extreme disadvantage for the entire expansion(and every expansion to come, seriously how the fuck have they not removed EMFH?) Blizzard also "improved" upon TBCs catchup mechanics by making it so you could easily gear up to current raid content in dungeons, making all previous raid content completely irrelevant after the next content patch, removing any form of different tiers of raiders, everyone was on the same tier at all times and basically removed content from the game. Also its the 1st time everyone was stuck with the same exact fucking raid for nearly a year with ICC, another trend that would plague WoW to this very day. And ofc you have the new and "improved" Dungeon Finder which groups you will people from different servers you dont have to ever talk to and instantly teleports you to the dungeon, you get your daily heroic out of the way in a matter of 20 minutes because fuck adventure and the world.
Then ofc came Cata, where player convenience triumphed. Flying mounts everywhere, a worse version of Wintergrasp, boring raids, an entire raid tier consisting of a whole 7 bosses.
