I am. Every xpac had it’s ups and downs.
Some people on here are very dramatic and pessimists. So be it.
Overall, yes. I look forward to replaying everything until BFA.
With Classic re-releases, we could avoid content droughts. We could avoid QoL patches coming in too late. All the good things, that tend to come in x.2/3 can now be in the game since day 1.
M+ was introduced in Legion.
MoP had Challenger Modes.
WoD also had challenge modes.
And MoP challenge modes weren’t power progression. It was cosmetic stuff.
As far as Wrath’s Mythics…yeah that’s actually even worse. It’s a toxic, gatekeeping mess that couldn’t be further from the authentic Wrath dungeon experience. The Cata Classic dungeon experience will be worse than that. This was an expansion that had RDF from the start and a reward system in place to keep the dungeons relevant (a supposed reason they added Mythics to Wrath). So these Mythic dungeons are completely unnecessary in Cata.
BFA and SL admittedly got better…in the last 2 final patches. that is when they let us enjoy the game as all the gates are removed. PvP side its when they actually balance sort of.
SL IOC for most of the expac glaives were not even touched. A warrior could miss a swing on them and the glaive would die from the wind from the swing. That was 9.1 to like 9.2.5.
Final patch came, glaives finally got fixed for HP and IOC wasn’t jsut zerg hangar. Win zerg, win fight. Lose zerg…go watch youtube for a few minutes. As yeah it was basically over.
Personally, I had fun in WoD, but I wouldn’t play it again unless we got WoD Classic +, meaning all the stuff we know they cut from the original expac. That would never happen though. The only expac after Wrath I would play again is MoP, just to see some of the class designs I didn’t play back then. Other than that, I don’t really see the point.
WoD was a good Retail expansion. It had the best Dps spec to ever grace the game in Glad stance. Nothing was better than doing massive damage with a shield. I doubt that is inevitable though and don’t think they should keep releasing Retail expansions again.
Classic should stay in the Golden Age of WoW from Vanilla thru Wrath. Anything else is just wasting resources.
