Shadowlands 100%
WOD for me, made the most friends during that time and even became a mythic raider because there was so much down time 
But Legion was the last expansion I played start to finish as a heroic raider / M+. We had it so good, hope the consistency keeps going with the new saga.

Massively overrated.
Wrath was a solid mid.

Vanilla: nothing like your first time.
WoD: for the questing and PVP especially Ashran and WPvP.
Legion: for the PVE, class content and the gorgeous cosmetics.

I did this 
a while back.
Best Norrathian/âAncientâ: Wrath.
Best Gilded Age/âMiddleâ: Warlords.
Best Borrowed Power/âIndustrialâ: Shadowlands.
Best Decadent/âModernâ: TWW(pending).
I figured it was easier to declare the best xpac in its own historical age.
Thats a tough call.
Wrath for the pure story beats and peak mechanics of the game. Wrath was when wow peaked in terms of the content and things to do, a lot of the aspects of the game felt really good across the board. Raid felt good, crafting felt good, the world felt good, gathering, the immersive aspect of it, heroic dungeons, the reputation systems, the rewards for those reputations, the pacing of the game, the characters, everything just felt amazing in wrath.
This is not rose tinted either, i went back and played wrath classic and it was exactly what i remembered it.
After that point, As wild as it sounds, MoP.
MoP was very good in terms of feel of the game as well, the only thing that really sucked about MoP was that the entire expansion got soured due to the SoO content patch lasting FOREVER, and that raid being painfully long.
If SoO was broken up into 2 raids, and we got some sort of filler patch in between, it would be far better remembered.
All expansions shine in their own areas.
Wrath- best overall lore and story
MoP- Best gameplay and PvP
Legion- Best raids, minus emerald nightmare
BFA- Best M+ seasons (seasons 2 and 4 specifically)
Dragonflight- Best scenery & environmental storytelling (TWW is a very close second because of Hollowfall and Undermine)
Legion. If you played it I donât need to explain. Artifact weapons farming was not an issue for me since I always played only 1 character and never play alts so legion had 0 issues for me.
BC then Wrath for me. Closely interchangeable. Then DF. Then a fall off before BFA, MoP then into negative numbers before cats, WoD, and Shadowlands all exist.
I didnât play legion at all because of how bad WoD was. Regret that.
The Burning Crusade with its atmosphere, immersion, ambience, soundtrack, Blood Elves, and actually expanding World of Warcraft instead of changing it, is the best expansion pack by far.
Itâs also the only expansion that saw a low player turnover rate and rapid growth throughout its tenure.

Thatâs my GOAT
People still hate Pandas for some reason.
I love 'em
TBW, WotLK, Legion, TWW. In no particular order.
I picked TWW instead of DF because gameplay wise the polish is more on point with where this new era is going, and I donât really care about the amount of changes in comparison to their previous xpack. While the whole talent tree revamp, mounts and profession revamp were clearly a bigger change from SL to DF, they are all of far greater quality in TWW. In the same way that TBC is better than classic because itâs mostly the same thing but better.
Wrath, followed by BC, followed by Legion.
My full breakdown goes Wotlk > BC > Legion > MoP > DF > Cata >>> WoD >>>>>> BFA > SL.
Have not made a final determination about where TWW sits - I was going to comfortably put it just before or after Cata, but 11.1 is very impressive to me. It may be just ahead of DF right now⊠but when Corruptions return, that may plunge it back down.
Mists was the first expansion that didnât have a classic BBEG. It worked for Cata because Deathwing was from WC2. It was the Dragonflight(and even had jade serpent flying) of the last decade. It explored new territory almost not at all backed by any lore.
I missed the end of most expansions, but I liked Legion bc the more you played the stronger you got. I mained a Sin Rogue and played all other melee but enhanced, and getting weapons to drop was always the worst part, but in Legion, we got our weps and all we had to do was play more to make them stronger, not hope the rng gods would bless us. There seemed to be less time gating back then than nowadays. I mean, you could even get legendarys from that engineering robot guy who gives ya a box, n I got a few from hum on multiple toons.
man reading some of this combine legions raid style, bfa M+ and endgame zone style, wrath story amped up, and mop gameplay with some environmental stuff and scenery tossed in and you have a winner.
