Nice exterior but it was rotted inside

BFA was arguably their best artistic and music work in an xpac. Probably story too with all the main lore characters showing up at some point and cutscenes. The systems were all dog water though

Waycrest manor is my fav dungeon of all time. The theme the music the aesthetic ⌠awesome . I hope they bring something like this back again. Right after that revendreth ⌠so sick . Shadowlands had a lot of grind issues with the legendary grind etc. but the theme of the shadowlands was just awesome . The story couldâve been so good but I think they hesitated and went very mainstream with the jailer .
Anyways ⌠way rest manor + revendreth

I really liked waycrest as well, though itâs not my favorite. One thing that I discovered later is itâs very similar to a ffxiv dungeon. Which made it almost seem to be copied in some ways.
Still, before waycrest came out then dungeons always felt like they had a set path and suddenly you could get lost in this haunted house that would sometimes change which doors would be locked. It did scare me to tank the dungeon at first because of the design but now I look back more fondly on it.

Other than the Azurite Armour, I overall enjoyed BfA, though I admit to being disappointed to how restricted itâs âbattlesâ were between the Horde and the Alliance.
Seriously not sure how you can rank SL above DF, Cata, and WoD though, as SL was the one expansion that didnât even feel like WoW.

Going from legion to bfa felt terrible so nah.
Also the realization that class halls were not going to be evergreen content also was awful.

BfA was awesome in terms of setting and ambiance. Azerite armor was lukewarm. Azerite essences had flaws but worked pretty well. Corrupted gear ruined it.
The NâZoth patch couldâve been awesome if they had time to do their original plan which was to expand Nazjatar with a new area where the entire zone is NâZoth and we walk on him. But that was cut and they had to rush something out. And to give the impression of content despite the lack of a new zone they went all out on the grind, and people hated it so now theyâre afraid of making anything grindy.
Straightforward grind can be fun, but 8.3 had you complete the entire Magni questline, then do the weekly/biweekly corrupted areas, to gain a currency, which you then had to exchange for an item, to run horrific visions, to gain another currency, to exchange for rewards, which were required in order to run the raidâŚ
Each of those I would place at number 1, because they each succeeded very well at what they were trying to be.
Wouldâve been too if not for 8.3.
And the rest each had various flaws which ruined the experience.

I started playing in 2020 right before covid, so I didnât do much BFA content while it was current. Shadowlands was my first real expansion. I realize this affects my bias in a significant way.
I still think BFA has the best music in the game. The Zandalar âCity of Goldâ intro still gives me goosebumps. And so many allied races to unlock!
And I really liked Shadowlands, I thought the music (especially the cello in Bastion) was gorgeous. (Music is a big part of why I like certain expansions.)
Itâs such a controversial opinion to like BFA and Shadowlands. 
Nice to see some BFA love because it is hard to find!

I loved BFA.
The zones were pretty neat, and the raids were fun.
I think their Warbringers animations were top tier and really miss that style of storytelling. Azsharaâs video was maybe the most hype Iâve ever been in WoW. Loved the set piece of the Nazjatar zone, too. It was surreal to see the whole ocean held back as these giant walls, with the implication that Azshara could send it all crashing back down on you if she wanted. Mechagnome island was fun, and the megadungeon is still super enjoyable to me.

BfA was great because it respected the lore, and the allied races it out of it are the best we currently have.
The narrative was also decent, and the last real time we had faction war stuff.
I loved it, even if the systems didnât work out in the end.

I think that would have been the case no matter the expansion we went into. Legion went out of its way to create a unique experience for every single class. (some better than others) While also feeling like a natural conclusion to everything we had seen.

Excuse you, the KulâTiran scores were some of the best Blizzard ever produced

Drustvar as a whole pushed the whole expansion up a few notches for me.
And I started Horde first, did all of Zandalar before trying out KulâTiras.
I was not prepared.
Easily became my favorite zone of the whole expansion.
Even the Horde war campaign quests there are funny, where youâre with Gallywix, and he is afraid because itâs haunted.

I liked BfA for the art. Hated it for the story. Felt bad playing a night elf so I moved to horde during that expansion ⌠and stayed there through shadowlands. Which is saying something as I was alliance almost 3 to 1 until that point.
Gearing back up for horde and midnight though. My new blood elf paladin is 80 and getting through them delves!

I did the opposite, lol.
Thought we (Horde) were getting Gilgoblins instead of Vulpera.
I was so bitter at them, I swapped sides just so I could kill them in PvP lol.
That was the birth of this character- a âfoxâ hunter lol.
But Iâve since mellowed out, Vulpera arenât so bad, just wish they didnât have literally zero lore.
And KTs are still cool as an ocean-themed race, even if I didnât get Gilgoblins.

Donât feel bad. I really liked WoD even though it gets a lot of hatred because it was the first full expansion I played through after starting WoW. (I started late in MoP.)

I have never been able to truly experience this xpac. I missed BfA, and now when I try Chromie time, I out level everything too fast, and get all these different systems in my face.

BFA was a wonderful expansion.
Never chased after bis armor azorite traits and to fill up the HoA, so I had a good time.
WoDâs content was looked on fondly, but it was the lack of that, is why people disliked the expansion (mostly).
