Yea I mostly agree, yet somehow MoP managed to be surprisingly OK for me and better than cata.
I mean original WoW was dead in my mind, but as a diversion I managed to play MoP a few months and enjoyed exploring the zones and gathering professions/AH. Can’t say I loved the story, but much of the art was stimulating. Simply as an escape it had it’s good points. I could just chill in Krasarang Wilds fishing and gathering herbs.
