why not just play retail at that point? wotlk was the foundation for everything retail is now

It laid the groundwork for a lot of the bad things that came later, but it’s hardly comparable to the disaster that Retail has become.

Cata is when it really jumped the shark

I liked goblin and worgen starting adventure in cata. That was the fun part.

TBC and wolk has good parts too, but many bad as well… flying, dungeon finder, etc…

imagine saying the most popular expansion was garbage. yikes.
wotlk had a great balance.

Cata is when the devs tried to recreated TBC briefy. Wrath babies revolted. Dungeons requiring CC and self awareness again was beyond their understanding.

Wrath is the true birthplace of “welfare” epics, and brain dead heroic dungeons. The badge system handing out free gear.

wotlk was only the most successful one because vanilla and tbc word of mouth spread so much how good it was, everyone who has not tried it jumped in.

Wotlk got A LOT of things wrong and was an inferior expansion to TBC and vanilla. By a lot. Cata was just so much worse that people look fondly back on Wotlk

They’re already getting yours.

I commend you sir but that is not a very popular take

you do realize badge gear existed in TBC, right? and that TBC heroics dropped guaranteed epics off end bosses, right?

lol

You’re acting like TBC heroics were done by the majority of the player base back then.

lol.

I read this title as some sort of song lyrics…

By what metric is it the most popular? The absolute sub peak was cata, not WotLK, vanilla had the most growth by a long shot followed by BC, and shadowlands is the fastest selling.

The only good things about WotLK are the story and ulduar, everything else was pretty mediocre or bad.
