I never played it. Why do people hate it?
Lack…of…content, an expansion filled to the brim with false promises and scrapped content
nothing to do
they had a whole x.2 patch that added no content except a toy that let you take selfies to your screenshot folder
garrison was the only end game near the end and that was literally just the war mission table in bfa
Selfie patch.
Garrison
Boring. Boring. Boring.
It was mostly a lack of end game content. Outside of raids/dungeons/pvp there wasn’t much to do. Even the first major patch didn’t really add anything.
WoD > BFA.
Lack of content and too much focus on garrisons, which were like a single-player facebook game hub.
If garrisons didn’t exist and they had devoted their time elsewhere, it could have been one of the best expansions. That one feature did so much damage to the game.
Nothing to do but sit in your Garrisons and wait for mission ps to be done.
it was great when you started leveling… then you hit level cap. once that happens unless you are a raider you didn’t have much to do… thus you were bored.
Given all your WoD achivements, i’d say you played very little of it at the tail end.
Yeah, you’re wrong.
I agree WoD>BfA
interesting take here
wod is STILL ruining the game to this day
the wod drought is the reason we have
-
infinite grinds
-
legion legendaries
-
endless rng as a placeholder for interesting content
at the end of the day everything we complain about NOW is in place so that you’re manipulated into feeling like you’re always doing something and never run out of things to do because of wod
Aside from raiding, there wasn’t much to do at max level. The garrison system wasn’t received well either.
That being said, I still liked WoD more than BfA. First, I raid, so I actually did have things to do - it also helps that the raids were pretty well designed. Also, at least in WoD, mostly everything that was there worked. BfA, on the other hand, has very much earned the nickname “Beta for Azeroth” due to how much stuff was either untested, unbalanced, or simply broken. Also, the main features of BfA (islands, warfronts, faction war story) were pretty all around awful.
WoD suffered from a lack of content, but the limited things it did have were at least enjoyable. BfA has plenty of stuff to do, but everything feels like a chore aimed at wasting your time and gold in an effort to drive up player metrics.
WoD was not a bad expansion. The problem was once you finished the quests that was literally it. I Am Error. Conglaturation! You bet the game. You now prosess Dracula’s Rib. A Winner is you. And so on. That made people burn out very, very fast.
Go to dungeon journal and look under raids for WoD…

People also hated Ashran with a passion.
Was dubbed “Trashran” and still holds strong today.
Edit: The apexis crystals grind was the worst thing Blizzard ever added in the game.
WoD was the worst expansion because the market chose to not reward a bad product.
You had one daily… that’s all you had if you didnt raid.
The same person behind trashcan is sadly doing classes now
The WoW community berated and constantly trashed Holinka over Ashran. Then he left in Legion, people were super happy.
Now he’s back in Shadowlands and people are super happy.
Just show’s how the WoW community truly is.
I’m already not liking his Mage changes in SL…
But we’ll see.
Nice assumption that I didn’t play WoD solely based off my achievements.
