>ywn spend literal days on the timeless isle to get one shiny dragon
>ywn cross the bridge for the first time with your legendary cloak ever again

Why was MoP so good?

Current tiers of expansions would be:

MoP
WotLK
Vanilla
BC
Cata
WoD <- Literal death of the game
Legion <- Nail in the coffin

I... actually didn't mind MoP. Beautiful place to say the least.

mop was the most fun gameplay wise but nothing will beat the overall experience of wrath.

I gotta admit looking back MoP isn't nearly as bad as WoD is atm.

what makes it feel less like a grind is if you get something useful out of it and if theres interaction with fellow autists apart from WHY U STOLE MUH MOBS

this isnt a bad thing. i am playing a rpg, i want immersion. I want to have an adventure. Getting teleported to a piss easy dungeon without even knowing where it is is never a good thing

There's a distance between having to go through mobs for a quest and going through trash in a raid and committing mob genocide for hours for a item or quest pieces, less than 1% of the populace even got to see endgame content, not that the game was hard, just tedious and required more time than skill half the time, unless you're doing raids than fuck that shit around that time.

There weren't Garrisons there either, point being the user base and content were at its peak around that time, also Northrend? Arguably the most comfy zone in the entire game? Also

garrison werent till WoD you mongoloid


the social aspect even in MoP was massive, there was people out in the world doing everything possible
even things that didn't matter people would spend days going for


>ywn collect toys around the different sections of pandaria
>ywn sit listening to the amazing timeless isle music
>ywn see that general spam that everyone is participating in the boss
>ywn snipe noob groups rares as a rogue


I really do miss MoP, it was by far the expansion I enjoyed the most
I resubbed 2 months back, played for an hour and then quit, theres no where near the level of content that MoP had

Pandas have been in the series since the original warcraft games newfag

SoO is unquestionably one of the best raids ever released in WoWs history

I wish I still had my old screenshots to share with you guys, pic related isn't mine

>>29093852
Never said I don't mind clearing trash, also case and point, a lot of those raids required unnecessary bullshit, remember when you had to get a frost enchant or have a warlock tank because of shadow resistance? A lot of those fights were declared nearly impossible and only a handful of guilds in the world completed them around that time

no, people were legitimately fucking horrible at the game and had no clue how to minmax their damage, not as if they had to when they literally only spammed some shadowbolt rank fucking 4.

Timeless Isle was actually so amazing at first. Fun to explore, mostly required grouping and interacting with people, quick way to gear up alts. Amazing music and lore. No stupid collect 10 bear asses quests. Almost felt like a "sandbox" area the rest of the game should be. Anyway, once everyone figured it out though it was basically just a frog farm-fest.

Felt like they were going for something similar with Draenor, but they fucked it up so much with garrisons. There's basically no reason to ever leave them now.

t. someone who joined in the last month of the expac


nobody was farming frogs during the actual expansion, infact you probably dont even know the reason why people started farming them either.

They didnt go for anything similar with draenor, they had no intention of having something like the timeless isle, they literally tried to put in guild wars 2 type of event quests, but really the best they could achieve was just throwing a kill this animal quest in an area.


back to
>>Anyway, once everyone figured it out though it was basically just a frog farm-fest.

There was nothing to figure out B T W


There were many people who went there on the first day of 5.4, and still came back leading up towards WoD as that single island alone had more content and things to do then the whole of WoD
