Look, we’ve got to stop retconning WoD.
It was not a “good, but unfinished expansion.” Having Farahlon, or a Shattrath raid, or capitals in Bladespire/Karabor would not have fixed the expansion.
They gutted class design in WoD & we really haven’t recovered from that. The story was absolutely atrocious. And no, the questing was not good. It was the most on-rails experience. It removed all modularity and alt-friendliness in service of funneling players toward Marvel slop cinematics.
OT: I liked printing money with Garrisons. I haven’t had to pay for a sub since then. I mean the Garrison itself sucked, it was an awful concept and I did not have fun doing it, but I did appreciate the fact that it was a money printer.
I loved the garrison, and gladiator spec is still the most fun ive ever had in an MMO. Its just such a shame so much was half baked.
Personally I liked the Orge Mage Tower(?). I don’t remember the correct name they gave it but thats how i remember it. The tower had portals to zones and you had to find them and unlock them. For me It was a small part of some fun game play. granted there weren’t many places it went but I did use them.
