Was BFA a successful expansion?

All you have to do is provide data that BFA is not the most successful day 1 launch in the history of WoW. Give me one metric, one data point, one objective fact that tells the opposite story of my data.

I don’t have an argument. I have an observation. You can interpret the data as you see fit. Whether or not I’m worthy of having a logical discourse with you or any other forum member is irrelevant to the data, and not one person in this entire thread has had anything to say except how it made them feel.

Why do I need to? I am not debating on whether or not BFA is successful, I am merely critiquing how you present your argument. Which by the way, once you provide an interpretation, whether or not it is yours, becomes an argument. You have done this here…

To back up my claim you can reread my original post in which I say…

Again, you do have an argument evidenced by these contradictory statements. You most recently said this…

But you previously said this…

Those two statements are contradictory.

The bold and italicized part of that statement is a precursor to an interpretation. When you interpret data, be prepared to have defend such interpretation from those that disagree with you WITHOUT resorting to “I was just informing” because in reality… you were NOT.

I literally italicized some. This is the basis for your prothlesizing, or are you just here to teach me a lesson? This isn’t even related to the topic anymore. And you’re right, you don’t need to refute my argument. That’s not why you’re here. Mission accomplished.

didn’t enjoy legion either since it meant leveling with ap on weapon 3-4 spec per class I played; only stayed active thanks to gold missions
;

You clearly don’t understand what you keep posting. You keep trying to argue with this data while also claiming your posting facts but have no idea on how to interpret it. Using your lackluster interpretation I could also claim it is the worst day one expansion, it is the only data set of its type so no conclusions can actually be made from it. You keep posting data and then try to mislead by grouping it together with different sets and tried to berate everyone that points that out.

After reading the rest of your posts its clear you’re just trying to rile up whoever you can, afterwards you try claim to be the victim.

I hated every minute of it. I cant wait for Shadowlands launch. So many people that I have talked to have no idea that the level cap is being dropped to 60. Rofl I cant wait to see the massive wave of unsubs that happens then.

Considering that most of the playerbase was unhappy about the core systems of the expansion and it was never truly addressed, I would say no.

Considering that the story was a slap-dash mess that did little but serve as a springboard to the next expansion by ruining multiple fan favorite Horde characters and throwing the Horde under the Bad Guy bus again, I would say no.

Considering that Class balance was not only ruined coming out of Legion but almost all of the alpha / beta feedback on how to fix it was blatantly ignored, I would say no.

Top selling doesnt mean successful. People pre ordered thinking it would be good. They were wrond

If it was, 8.3.5 wouldn’t have been canned.

I don’t know people still claim that warlords was awful which it was, and they will do the very same thing with BFA

Absolutely. Individuals might like or dislike literally any possible thing. There are, likely, people who legit think BFA is the best expansion ever. On the other hand, when your dislike of an xpac is for one thing, it’s probably pretty good.

Ironically, WoD was the exact opposite of BfA.

No reason at all to be in the world.

Great PvP gearing system.

No chores.

No grinds.

Extremely alt friendly and profitable.

There was a lot more than one thing wrong with Legion that was just the main one,I probably have 15 or more problems with legion.

It’s just speculations really but from my experience playing and being around other people BfA is one of the worst expansions this game has had. The best part of this expansion was the work by the art team, creating the zones etc, that’s where all the focus went. None was put into actual content.

I’ve probably played more this expansion than I have since MoP. Can’t say it was my favorite though.

WoW forums always complain. What’s different is WotLK was at it’s peak of global popularity while BFA is hated on all parts of the internet.

We don’t have data to interpret that claim. The numbers were calculated differently than in previous expansions. For BfA, that number included prepurchases. For other expansions it did not.

I don’t disagree, I just think it has a lot less to do with the actual expansion design and features and more a product of its time.

Wrath would be viewed today as a very shallow raid or die game. Basically like WoD with a few more insignificant dailies.

While it’s true that it’s dated, Wrath Pservers are as popular as Vanilla ones.

Yeah only thing I liked in the expansion was the beautiful maps to fly around in–too bad graphics doesn’t mean good game play.
