From s6 Wrath all the way to Mop S15. Those were the golden years and the peak of participation in PVP.
Nobody cares about anything afterwards, most of the PvP community left in WoD because of class pruning.
Legion was an extremely popular expansion lol what.
Shadowlands had like 8,000,000-10,000,000 iirc + subscribers at launch.
People quit the game because itâs bad. Had absolutely nothing to do with âclass pruningâ
TBC Seasons 1 & 2
Wrath Seasons 6 & 7
Cata Seasons 10 & 11
MoP Seasons 14 & 15
Rest have been broken or gameplay and Class design & balance have been S # I T

You one time bc/wrath glads always respond to these topics the same way. Pretty sad honestly.
This is the bit I think most people donât really stop to think about enough. Glads still a very small percentage of the playerbase even when you factor in all the alts. Inflation and boosting aside being able to actually get glad each season through your own effort is respectable.
This is probably the most fried comment in this thread.

If you get glad this season not running a broken comp thats actually kinda impressive as the current resolve trinkets along with other comps and tier sets are making it pretty difficult to push for non a tier comps. With that said wotlk/cata/mop are pretty respected glad achs in my book.
For PvE
Glad means nothing when its just a 2400 achiev. The moment that happened, people stop caring
The game became bad because of class pruning.
You are on straight copium if you think people didnât quit in WoD and never came back. WoD was regarded as one of the worst expansions ever put out
I swear to god youâre in my brain. I was just going to type this.
Wod was regarded as one of the worst for many reasons and while the prune sucked it wasnât the cause of why so many people quit. Plus wod from a pvp standpoint was a really good expansion with the best end game progression system weâve had.

Itâs like they couldâve gone with one or two things but they went with them all.
⢠Account-wide
⢠Aggressive artificial inflation
⢠2400, not percent-based mounts
Similar thing with bfa-sl elite sets.
⢠Account-wide
⢠Reduce to 1800
⢠Megainflate seasons
⢠Armor shared between classes
Most Legion elite sets are rarer than modern gladiator mounts.

I donât disagree with this, class design was still playable. PvP participation still tanked regardless
The amount of glad spots in s15 compared to S2 WoD is nearly over half
I donât think any system in WoW has taken a rewards structure and just made it worthless the way WoW did to Arena. Itâs actually really sad to think about in a lot of ways. Imagine if you could just kill boss #8 in mythic raids and get the mount people used to have to kill the end boss for. That is how non % based glad feels, and it did NOTHING for participation.
I literally remember people screaming and arguing about it on forums, acting like reducing the cutoff was going to magically make people want to play this awful game.
Instead participation is lower than ever, and glad is more prevalent than ever.
Real gross.

Why are you comparing midseason wod to end of expansion mop? Thatâs a really silly way to form an opinion lol.
Example.) S14 participation in mop was lower than S18 participation in wod. Silly comparison.
Thereâs so many factors for why it happened that you canât just pin it on one thing. Personally despite enjoying wods pvp it just wasnât interesting to play an expansion that was so empty in every other aspect.
We had to spend so much time in the final patch of pandaria all for an expansion that easily had 40% of its content cut out on release. Of course people are going to quit an expansion when they see it happen.

Fair enough, S14 MoP still had more PVP participation than most of WoD and it was of MoPâs most deflated seasons.
Hard to gauge with s13 MoP because that was when we still had brackets and many battlegroups were nearly dead outside of bg9 at that point.

Nobody realized it was a trick question?
The correct answer is :
Not a single achievement in the entire history of wow is ever worth respecting, nor should you give a damn about what smelly ugly addict gamers think of your own gaming accomplishments.
lolâŚâgaming accomplishmentsâ
Now thatâs an oxymoron if I ever heard one.

For PvE, most definitely. Pvp, however, was trash. Only good thing about pvp was how alt friendly it was.
