So why was WoD abandoned?

Eh… shoulda at least been the hidden appearance instand of the Arcanite Reaper reskin.

Oh lord was this a letdown, still is.

It’s too bad. I really enjoyed WoD, what there was of it anyway.

How is that really any different than any previous expansion?

Blizzard had three problems.
“Orc fatigue” was with the game developers. Everything was related to Orcs.
The team had massive growth. They were still learning to work as a team.
When they attempted to hot fix a launch problem, they created a systemic problem, that took significant effort to fix.
