WoD gave us absolutely nothing to do. BfA is bad, but not THAT bad.

Why? Its not like you are going to change your mind anyway.
The Wod/ Bfa debate go down to one thing. What is the best between no content and more content but crap content.
Personalty i prefer BFA. While most of the content is bad, at least i have the option to do it. In Wod there was just nothing.

Wrong answer. The correct answer is WOD gave us Mythic +. BFA gave us busy tedious work with incremental to nonexistent rewards that culminate to marginal differences from month to month in power. Legion 2.0, decorated with MOP/CATA/Legion content in the end. They then ushered in corruption gear that actually impacts your play but essentially corruption is nothing more then legendary’s with steps because it’s wildly random. Insert varying degrees of fun only to be annihilated with nerfs and RNG with no real path to a true end. Then, God forbid you juggle your corruption to fit in a new corruption only to be broadsided with a nerf to that corruption and no way to recover previous cleansed corruption. Punishment to the nth degree because the solution is to “somehow” reacquire that same piece with whatever you wiped from it. (Literally the solution blue posts have given)
I would debate that nothing to do is 100 times better then busy work. How much fulfillment can I possibly get achieving rank 3 essence via rep and weekly gating on alts?
So no… I disagree 100%

That’s factually wrong, as Mythic+ replaced Challenge Mode and WoD still had Challenge Mode.

I liked my garrison, archaeology, daily quests, garrison invasions, mythic+, the raids, the ability to level alts completely, Ashran… WoD was a lot of fun.
I find myself going back to do Legion content more than BFA stuff.

BFA isn’t a good expansion, but personally I’ve had a lot more fun with this than WoD.

BFA is garbage, i never unsubbed back in WOD, but now im leveling my FFXIV character instead.
I definitely would not recommend BFA to any of my close friend and family.

I see where he is coming from. WoD did give us Mythic Dungeons. It had Challenge mode AND Mythic dungeons. Now that we are at the end of BfA I’m starting to feel like I liked WoD better too.

It was good for alts sure. No secondary gear systems like the cloak, azerite, etc to grind out. Just level, gear and go which I’m personally a fan of too.
But WoD was also horrible for having no content. If you didn’t raid, pvp or do challenge modes then there wasn’t much reason to even go to Draenor and do things with those alts. I struggled to even log on for half of it and spent more time leveling mostly because there was nothing else to do.

Yes, but not Mythic+. That’s a Legion feature.
And it’s quite different from both Challenge Mode and regular Mythic Dungeons.
Honestly, I would take BfA over WoD any day. I still remember the miasma of logging on to WoW and realizing I had nothing to do, then logging off, and realizing I had nothing to do out of WoW, then logging back on, and back off, and so on, and so forth.
Pure, distilled boredom.

I definitely feel that way right now. Log on, log off, log on, log off. Though in WoD I was actually raiding but I’m not too interested in it at the moment. lol But yeah, M+ is definitely a legion feature.

^ This… and the fact people want to argue with the fact they expanded on the idea into Legion isn’t really a feature.
There is no original “content” in BFA. Neck and back to level (weapon/Argus tree). Rep grind? Maybe essences, kinda?
This is the third or fourth expansion where they pulled out early and held back content. BC, WOD, BFA and Cata… It may be for the best… quite honestly they rushed this out and despite many red flags testers were giving everything was neglected. 8.3 was .5 patch at best.
My biggest complaint is this… They KNOW it’s bad. People rather play CLASSIC rather then the live version of their game. However, despite all the criticism and dwindling subs to BFA they could make some quality of life slight adjustments to appease the players who are still playing. For example, account wide essences and rep. Will they do that? Nope… Total and complete obstinate decisions.
At least WOD you could experience alts without wanting to gouge your eyes out due to the wall that this team built in terms of gating. The game is gross.

THIS is why I’m fat. Ahh!! 
I can’t. Bfa may have more content, but I would take WoD over it any day because the classes were fun and reasonably balanced.
BFA is like driving on a nice day, only in a banged up Susan without air conditioning.
WoD is like driving in an overcast lifeless day in a Ferrari.
I’ll take the latter.
The character is the vehicle which you experience the content. If the vehicle is a piece of crap, so is the content (which isn’t great.)

WoD was the raid loggers paradise.

No, WoD is the worst thing Blizz has ever put out. there was nothing to do unless you raided, or you were a human for pvp. but i mean i guess we did get a major content patch that gave us twitter and a selfie camera…
WoD was absolute crap. BfA isnt very good, but atleast there is stuff to do outside raiding. Also TrashCan was a dumpster fire and the new one is even worse.

…and BFA isn’t? In my own personal experience I see a great divide of “casuals” (raid loggers) and hardcore. The gap in between has vanished (or so it seems). I have found myself in a casual raiding guild unexpectedly and rarely see people on doing keys, upgrading cloaks, working on essences. You have your guys parsing 90% + and they’re carrying the 30% and down. Just the way the game is atm… with grindy garbage for all that deign to put up with it.
Such as?? Raiding, PVP, Mythic +… and?
I want to address your remark with others. Mythic WAS introduced in WOD. Doing a myhtic in a certain amount of time WAS introduced in WOD. The ONLY thing legion did was change the reward and if you want to call it a “nuance” that +2, +3, +15 changed the level of reward… then I’d have to disagree with your feeling it is a “new” feature.

I liked WoD and even during WoD I did not complain about it. I logged on, sat in Ashran, and PvP’d all day without worrying about my daily WoW chores.
