HUH!
No one here gets out alive!
Why did WoW become so shitty and boring? MoP and Draenor have none of the soul the older expansions had. Even Cataclysm wasn't that bad.

Except MoP was better than Cata. And that's coming from a panda hater.

good one

Cataclysm was nowhere near BC/WotLK quality for sure, but comparing Pandaria to it favorably is just cringeworthy as fuck.

The ONLY good thing about Cata were the heroic dungeons on launch. And they got nerfed soon after.

Class and talent system revamp (yes they were good, old talent trees had no freedom), dungeons and raids were consistently good (at least until SoO, I quit WoW at that point), the two isles, Thunder and Emerald were pretty good, world bosses returned in the form of Sha too.
Also GREEN FIRE quest motherfuckers.

Because you became an adult and realized games aren't really something worth obsessing about.

I remember as a kid I was invested in the lore. Reading quests and feeling like a significant part of the story was so great. I read the books at school instead of doing any work.
People say that metzen broke the lore, but looking now as an adult, it's easy to see that the lore was always garbage. Only difference was that we were younger. Resubbing for wod to just raid and arena got boreing really fast now that I cringe everytime some bullshit plot comes along about thrall.
Ulduar #1 raid. Vanilla was a buggy, unbalanced, fun mess with boring talent trees and restricted raid roles.

No freedom? The talent system was at its best around the end of TBC. There were baseline specs with essential talents that were no brainers but you could still deviate and pick and choose certain talents. You call 1 choice 7 times while leveling freedom?
You should try vanilla if you want to talk about not having freedom of talents most classes had 1 viable spec for PVE, PVP really depended on the class and only a few points to take non essential talents.
From a PVE perspective
Druid - Resto and 1 maybe 2 Ferals balance spec in general was horrible.
Hunter - Marksmanship only
Mage - Frost initially Fire in higher raid tiers.
Paladin - Holy only ret and prot were a fucking joke
Priest - Holy maybe 1 shadow priest per raid.
Rogue - Combat I think don't know shit about Rogues
Shaman - Resto only
Warlock - Affliction
Warrior - Only class that all 3 specs were done well arms was viable in pvp, fury and prot in PVE. Basically the only tanks.

If you play on a private server, you quickly discover why new WoW is so bad.
Everything is just too easy and accessible. You level at mach speed, chain run dungeons for XP, rip your way across a zone in under an hour, and ignore everyone else along the way. In fact, other players are a hindrance to you in neo-wow, they take your mobs.
In old WoW, shit was hard and time consuming. It's not unusual to die a bunch just leveling up. But it makes other players a giant boon. Because gear is difficult to get, buffs from other players can aid you immensely. Grouping up no longer becomes an annoyance, it becomes a ticket to getting your quest done that much faster.
Vanilla WoW was made to be an experience that punished you for being unsociable, and it made people more willing to work together. In a quest where you need to kill some 30 odd mobs, you bet your ass there's a group for it going or that someone will accept your group invite without a second thought.
When it comes down to it, it was every well intentioned change towards convenience that took away everything special. And this isn't just nostalgia, I'm still playing it right now.
