This thread is going to be good. 
I would like to extend one particular swap to have Cata at least âgoodâ. The revamped EK/Kalimdor quests and environment is really good.

Copypasted some snippets from questionable sources, without adding any input or personal thought⌠on a topic beat to death.
Trolling really has taken a turn for the worst. I didnt even get a laugh outta this post

Fair-ish⌠Itâs better than the the real stank-bombs, but itâs still too early to say that it ranks with the greats.
In six to nine months, I figure weâll have enough information.
ETA: I disagree with MoPâs place in the scale. It should be in the âpretty goodâ tier, not the âstank-bombâ tier.

I started in Cataclysm. So Iâll only include Cataclym and Forward.
The Best:
MoP
Dragonflight
Legion.
I love all of these expansions, itâs genuinely hard to tell you which one I really consider the best.
The Rest, in order.
Cataclysm: I really loved Cata, It has my favorite zones and races, and had finalized the clunky talent tree design of the earlier expansions.
Warlord of Draenor: The Only Failure of Warlords was Cut content, and therefore lack of content. The Legendary questline, challenge mode dungeons, and raids were all great.
Battle for Azeroth: The Second Worst expansion as far as obnoxious daily grinds go. Horrible player progression and power systems. Chores every day
Shadowlands: World of Chorecraft. Player was expected to maintain daily grinds, and constantly get character progress that was unrelated to gear, by doing unfun content. Renown, Conduits, Legendaries, all horrible.

I disagree with the list based on my experience through them but I understand why they were criticized at the time of release.
For me:
Wrath
Mists
TBC
Cata
Legion
BFA
Warlords
SL
I think its ridiculous and way too early to judge DF, especially when it is carrying a lot of Blizzard hate that is not related to the game itself but the companies reputation, as well as the aftertaste of SL.
I truly believe that SL is the worse expansion theyâve released, in terms of story telling, systems, and design. It had the most potential to be something incredibly amazing, and then it didnât.
I would take a last patch BFA with all its mistakes over SL any day of the week.
Also, I am one of the few people that actually enjoyed Cataclysm thoroughly when it came out and Firelands is in my opinion still a top 5 best patch ever released in this game.
And although my #1 is Wrath, because I lived through the epic saga of the Lich King, Mist of Pandaria is unquestionably and objectively THE best expansion and representation of World of Warcraft to date. It hit 10/10 on all the elements, with the single sore exception of the ETERNAL Siege of Orgrimmar.

I do agree with this. Itâs not fair to DF to be compared to SL or BfA in the negative ways some do, and it is not fair to compare it in a positive way in this regard. Itâs doing things right, but thereâs plenty of expansion left to go.

Agree, but these are what most gamers have rated so far on the sources i posted, for me personally Pandaria is the worst, but the majority decided it has its strengthsâŚ

Cute opinions
MoP worse than WoD? Tell 'em theyâre dreaming.
Dragonflight needs to be over before it receives a comparison rating if that rating is to be taken seriously.
