I’m not talking about lore, or which classes were a part of the expansion, or even necessarily the environment or zones or raids, etc. in terms of content. What I mean are the mechanics, the game play functionality, etc.
As an example, I’d pick Legion, because:
- Class Hall quest lines
- Legendary weapons
- End of expansion zone was HUGE
- interesting profession design (IMO)
Some folks might prefer the separate island areas or “heart” system of BofA, or the crafting of DF, or maybe the optional entry zones of wrath, just as simple examples, but I’m curious which expansions folks prefer in terms of mechanics and layout and all of that.
I joined in wod so i will rank every expansion that came after that from best to worst.
- legion
- bfa
- shadowlands = dragonflight.
And im anticipating tww to become my new number 2.
But too early to call yet.
Legion always. Farming those weapon skins was the best content.

WotLK still feels like peak WoW to me. the Lich King himself was just so iconic.
I liked TBC because it felt like Blizz was figuring out the game and the world still felt dangerous to your toon. you still had to pay attention.
I liked the legion feel a lot. the whole burning legion thing was good. i admit i really only started playing when they nerfed the heck out of the artifact power grind.
- Wrath of the Lich King (Story, gameplay, leveling time to max level, Ulduar/ICC)
- Legion (Class halls, artifact items/the hunt for them, zone scaling, big pulls in 5mans)
- Burning Crusade (Story/aesthetics, difficulty)
- Vanilla (nostalgia, leveling time being much longer, less rush, simpler)
- Cataclysm (Reforging, masterfrost dk playstyle)
- Mists of Pandaria (Raids, professions)
- Dragonflight (Profession/crafting system)
- Battle for Azeroth (World quests, world drop mounts/fishing mount)
- Shadowlands (Legendary crafting)
Last) Warlords of Draenor (Nothing, quit 2 weeks into it and never came back)
Listed my preferences in order and what I liked most about each one.
