How would you rank the expansions?

Community General Discussion

I remember seeing this thread sometimes on the older forums, so I guess I would like to see the opinions on the more recent expansions. Since I didn’t play any expansion before MoP, my list will be shorter:

MoP > Legion > BfA > Dragonflight >>> WoD >>>> Shadowlands

Hmm I like DF I rank it highly. Probably third or fourth

First MOP second BFA third wotlk or this last SL

MoP (Warlock Prime Time) > Dragonflight (Evoker laser go brrr) > WoD (RiP Necrotic Plague) > Cataclysm (The time I actually started playing for real) > Wrath (Managed to pull me in) > Legion (Broke the game a few times) > BFA (Eh.) > Shadowlands (Covenants were not created equally, Sylvanas killed my guild) > BC (Never really engaged in BC content)

MoP > Late Wrath > Legion > Dragonflight > WoD/BFA/Shadowlands/Cata

MoP was my most active expansion. Late Wrath was my first expansion. I was never bored in Legion. Dragonflight fixed a lot of recent expansion pains.

Dragonflight isn’t over, but when it is it will likely be high on the list.

Ask me tomorrow and you’ll probably get a different answer.

I sort of rank them in tiers. Legion, Wrath, BC were my favorites. MOP and BFA were top mid. WOD and Cata were lower mid. Sadly, SL and DF just didn’t work for me, even though I really gave them a try. Looking forward to whatever is next though!

In true forum fashion, this expansion is the worst thing ever created, the expansion prior, absolute perfection .

Totally arbitrary rankings based on my own personal experiences… no other criteria. Yours will vary considerably!

Mists of Pandaria
Dragonflight
Vanilla
Battle for Azeroth - I only played 8.3!
Wrath of the Lich King
Legion - only played start of 7.0!
The Burning Crusade
Cataclysm
Shadowlands - only played start of 10.0!

Did not really play:
Warlords of Draenor

Cata (Favorite expansion /shrug)
Legion (Lots of content and good raids.)

B
Wrath (ICC and Naxx patches. Ulduar + TOGC patch: eh)

C
BFA (Waycrest is my fav dungeon. Drust fav zone)
MOP (Last patch. I honestly hated MOP up until then)
DF (I tolerate this expansion)
WOD (Good raids. Just to long of patching. Would have been better as a short 1year expac)

D
SL (Hated it.)
TBC (Hated it.)
