The only thing BFA has over WOD is M+
Raids aren’t as good
Class design is worse
Gearing is worse
Leveling is worse
PVP is worse
It’s a step down in every way that matters

Luckily M+ and the fact that it actually has content is enough to carry BFA.
WoD was bad because you had practically nothing to do. You may have wanted to play the game but what could you have done? Run in circles in your garrison?
Because after a few months that’s all you had left between raid nights after capping for the week.
The nostalgia goggles are strong.

WoD was a horrible expansion. It was the only one I actually stopping playing during.

It depends on whether you like having good content but almost none of it… or if you like having bad content and a whole bunch of it.
Personally I like it either way. I’m a lunatic who returned in WoD of all xpacs after quitting at the start of Wrath, and I’m still (sorta) playing BfA even with the disgustingly grindy things a returning player has to do.

… except when you realize that content only appeals to a narrow subset of players, while everyone else would prefer it simply never existed so it wouldn’t harm their experiences with its influence.

They both had different positives and flaws. One was a desert. Simple and more straightforward, but pretty barren and empty. The other is a jungle. Lots of stuff in it, but complicated and difficult to navigate. So both are extreme in opposite directions.

Disagree.
People are forgetting just how boring and low effort WoD truly was. When it was stretched out over two years it made a terrible experience.

Bait is bait I guess…

And then you realize that at least there is content that appeals to SOME people rather than practically no content for anybody to enjoy…
Seriously. You could finish everything WoD had to offer in a month or so and then be done until the next expansion came out… Not good.

It’s really a hard thing to quantify, WoD made a large percentage of my guild quit the game all together with, a couple came back for Legion and they’re mostly still with us now so as frustrated as we all are with some of the systems and decisions Blizzard makes, i think the gushing bullet wound that was WoD now has a bandage on it.
The problem is that we’re not doing much to get anyone back, it all seems to be geared towards milking the most out of the people that are left 
Funny, BfA was the only one that I stopped playing during.

They’re bad for different reasons and which one you think is worse largely depends on where you rate each reason.
WoD was bad because of a lack of content. Especially if you weren’t big on raiding.
BfA is bad because the content is badly designed.

Why are you sorry? It’s your opinion.
Someone can like WoD more. The introduction probably felt better than any other expansion. It’s past mid-way through the second map where I felt like they gave up.

Incorrect.

The only reason that isn’t happening now is because everything is ridiculously time gated when it shouldn’t be.
I am already at the same point I was in WoD this xpac where I only log in to raid.

Except it’s almost two years into the expansion…
This happened the second month in WoD and continued for a year before you got a few weeks of gameplay for the remaining year.
BFA is fresh in folk’s memories and most people have short ones at that.

This was happening to most people a couple of months into each patch. It’s not exclusive to just 8.3

Some people prefer the sandbox, that way they can make their own fun.
Who needs a carrot-on-a-stick when there’s a world to explore?

That’s not even remotely true.
There was literally nothing to do in WoD but raid and garrisons. You might not like the content in BfA but there is surely much more of it and it is far more accessible to most players than WoD

It’s not to the same level as WoD… Not even close and you’re being silly if you’re insenuating that it is.
Go read the patch notes for the patches in WoD and then read the notes for the patches in BFA. Each BFA patch was more content than WoD got during it’s entire life cycle.
BFA has more zones to explore… lol
I’m not saying BFA was a good expansion, because it wasn’t. I just believe that folks have forgotten how truly awful WoD was.
