I said it. Also IMO, Legion was the best expansion of them all. I miss Class Halls and class specific quests and stories.
What about you?

Wrath is the Latchkey is one of my favorites.
Agreed.
Legion > Wrath.
Loved both, but you can’t beat the class fantasy provided by Legion. Big win.

Wrath wasn’t really like Vanilla and BC. Pre wrath you had to CC mobs in dungeons, and a lot of the time you had to re-CC them. Elites were elite, get a group of em on your average tank and he got demolished.
In Wrath, it turned into aoe pulls and mowing everything down, elites were just a tad stronger with more health. I love Wrath, but it was a way different experience.
Those are my fav 3 i can’t separate them. 1 big journey it felt like

This happened in BC with the prot pally rework and hasn’t gone back.
AP made playing alts feel terrible.
WotL, MoP, and actually WoD (for class mechanics more than anything else, the story was awful, Garrisons kinda sucked, and the dungeons were a little too gimmicky and cinematic, though I did like the train level).
That only happened after you were raid-geared. In leveling blues/greens, Heroic dungeons still required CC and single-target prioritization.
And, fun fact, once you were raid-geared in BC, you had the same thing happen in heroics. The only exception might be mind-controllers (e.g. Steam Vaults) and mortal strike or stunning mobs (e.g. Shattered Halls).
It just happened faster in WotLK, because the ilvl/stat curve is exponential.

I’m under the opinion we’ve only had 3 really good expansions and a few okay ones with a few really bad ones. WOTLK > Legion + MOP

That’s one spec n after a rework. All I ran was dungeons and rarely got a pally tank. My guild didn’t run with one. That’s why I mentioned “average tank.” They were marking targets n we had to cc. In wrath, every tank class was aoe pulling.
Why do you think every tank could do it in Wrath? Because it started in BC with pallies. Just because you still did it the old way, doesn’t mean it wasn’t being done. I pretty much stopped running dungeons without a pally tank in BC.
Am I allowed to respond?
Generally you dont like people giving other opinions right?

Legion is the expansion I feel I never appreciated enough at the time, and is the expansion I miss the most. If I had the power to reroll the game back to a certain Expansion as the new foundation of the game, it would be Legion, and I would want the following expansions to retain more Legion things.
Legion is a double edged sword. It was successful, but attempting to replicate that success quickly became a problem for the game.
From intrusive reliance on systems to rushed, incoherent storytelling and squandering of characters/settings in a single patch that have been cultivated over a decade. These trends continued into BfA and SL and all have their uttermost origin in Legion.

To be fair. Every single expansion has launched with better systems than Legion did when it launched since.
The forums would riot today if an expansion launched the way Legion did.

you’re welcome to express your opinion if you can filter out all of the passive aggression lol 
I’m torn between MoP and Legion as my favourites.
MoP was probably the best “all around package”, and probably the only expansion which managed to have a half-decent narrative. Garrosh was a bit forced as a villain, (turned rabid and malicious too quickly) I feel, but otherwise it was great throughout. I also feel Lei Shen was a HUGE missed opportunity, he could have a been a much better and longer-lasting villain.
Legion is… complicated. Loved the Order Halls, Artifacts (the fun appearances and lore behind them, for the most part) and class-specific questlines. But damn, it was the start of the systems starting to take over all of WoW, and those have been a downhill slide for the game ever since. Because BfA is a reiteration of Legion’s systems (some differences) - it just lacks the lore elements to make up for it. And as such, it ended up being a HORRIBLE experience.
So I’ll give it to MoP.

Didnt you tell me not to?
“When I post my opinion, others post their opinion. Why do they do that?!”
MOP was actually a very decent expansion after I got used to it. I was not a fan of the kung fu pandas right out of the gate, but by the end of the expansion, it was extremely enjoyable.
MoP was self aware enough to recognize how superficially silly the pandaren seemed, so they spent a lot of time on world-building and character development for them.
The result was probably my favorite expansion setting. Pandaria feels alive like no other expansion. Some of that energy made it to Draenor, but WoD had a hoste of other problems too severe to be saved by good storytelling.
