WoD was better designed and used better reward systems
however BfA definitely has more content
WoD was supposed to start a new yearly xpac cadence and only had 2 tiers before the next xpac was supposed to come out. The content was so thin that everyone just quit and bliz gave up on yearly xpacs.
WoD was definitely better designed than BfA
While I think both are on the absolute bottom, alongside Cata, as bad as it was I actually had fun playing WoD. The only reason Iâm playing BFA is because friends are.
BFA is way worse than WoD. WoD had really good class design, and thatâs the most important part of WoW. BFA doesnât.
WoD and BFA both have little in the ways unique feeling world content. Classes in WoD were better, and mission tables had a lot more reward to them.
I personally enjoyed WoD a lot more because when capping a character I could farm ashran boxes for honor to get a pvp set which was a set of half decent-ish gear and not have to rely on RNG to give me the correct gear slot for every piece of gear. Then classes were better, instead of most of them being classes that were gutted to make room for artifact weapons, then left same while artifact weapons were removed.
P.S. Not actually saying WoD was good, but it was better.
[No hostility intended]
Thereâs more content, but it hasnât been good content. Or even memorable, except for the wrong reasons.
Personally I disagree. I dislike WoD much more than BfA. Granted, Iâm not a giant fan of BfA either, but eh. Itâs more fun in my personal opinion.
God I love it when someone says this. I used my amazing class design to huh⌠lets see what did I do in WoD? Huh I⌠oh yeah! Worked on my gold missions!
PVPâd all day dude. Itâs the funnest aspect of WoW.
No itâs fine. I agree completely with that.
(preface) i know about the rose colored thing, and this is not itâŚ
i thought legion was just ok. it wasnât terrible, but it wasnât wrath. then came BfA and it has sucked so hard in virtually every aspect. itâs like the devs thought, "letâs take legion and redo it, only this time letâs make absolutely everything as mundane, tedious, unrewarding and un-fun as humanly possible.
WoD was bad, but it didnât have a chance to be good. BfA on the other hand, is deliberately bad, and thatâs the greater sin.
I canât wait for the next xpac when BfA is praised.
Well, MY opinion is that some expansions were better than other expansions, and this is the only acceptable opinion.
If you get exalted reps yet still do the WQâs and missions, you get gold too.
A couple weeks ago I spent 100kg on my DK, sheâs now almost at 40k gold just from those.
Couldnât agree more
How is it people are justifying BfA being better than WoD simply because of quantity of content, rather than the quality? Yes, BfA has a lot more content, but how much of it is actually fun?
As far as I am concerned, I have to agree with the OP, this expansion feels less enjoyable than WoD did. Then again, this expansion didnât really bring anything new to the game, just reused a lot of what Legion had.
Yeah, well that expansion will be garbage too, until the expansion after that!
But none will be as bad as Cataclysm.
WoD also had challenge modes. Which for me was more hours of content than all of BFA combined.
Hours of content that was done in hours, unless you were selling runs. Unlike MoP, you had no reason to do CMs a second time
WoD, while it had no content, had way better class design. BFA has M+ which is nice but class design is terrible and azerite is even worse.
Gold is worthless if Iâm bored.
I refused to do Garrisonâs in WOD full aware of knowing how much gold I could make.
BFA is better than WOD for many reasons, but people have already made up their minds. No need to justify our own personal problems.
