Unfortunately Asmongold is actually pretty delusional, what he says one second contradicts with what he said the second before. The game has always appealed to casuals, in fact if you don't believe that go look up how WoW was originally meant to be "The Casual Friendly MMO", not making it up. Also it always had a cartoony style, I've heard players make that excuse since I started playing the game, as one of the reasons they were quitting the game. The guy is just full of shit.

idk you can hate the game for the mechanic changes (simplifying the talent system is one of the best examples) but also like the content itself. MOP had great content, but it was also "the beginning of the end" in the sense of the game becoming overly simplified and about the time where Blizzard started trying to find ways to keep people playing through artificial means (thunderforged gear as an example)

the most visually beautiful expansion IMO

Timeless isle was and still is the best post expansion launch zone to this day. Seriously compare it to Korthia or Argus.Amazing PvP, Rares, a literal area progression where mobs became stronger as you went up the mountain, catch up gear, tonnes of pets, stunning scenery and one of the best mounts in the game to this day (Huolon one). Another underrated thing was the Pet Battle tournament to unlock the 4 special pets (Chi-ji, Xuen etc.) It was genuinely hard as you had to beat about 9 trainers in a row without being able to heal pets.

Mop has a special place in my heart just because it’s when I started but even past the nostalgia I still think it was a pretty great expansion, even if my opinion’s unpopular

Yeah, the Blood Elves were reconsidering being a part of the Horde at the time.

Then Jaina killed most of the blood elves in Dalaran and basically made that position political untenable.

If you weren't cutting edge raiding you didn't need to use a specific talent build. The old talent system was also way better while leveling because it gave you something to look forward to. Instead of waiting 10-15 levels to get a choice of 3 passives. And you really wanna say that the new system gives you meaningful choices? Really? Everything you complain about the old one is the same thing in the new one just stacked. Like having a talent tree in the old one that had 5 stacks that gave 1% more haste per stack, meanwhile in the new one you have shit like "Into the Fray" for warriors that just gives you 3-15% bonus haste, whoopee. The only difference between the two is now I have to wait 15 levels to get a talent that would have taken 5 to fully upgrade under the old system. What a good change. Or you have talent rows that have one stupidly obvious "best" choice while the other two are just filler or are only good for other types of content you likely don't do like PvP. Look at the holy priest one. I have the choice at 30 of getting a movement ability on a class that literally has no other movement spells, filling a massive gap in my weaknesses, or a thing that reduces my cooldown on Desperate Prayer, or a thing that gives me 10% damage reduction on myself when I have renew up. Wow gee what a hard choice. You can say I'm cherry picking but those are just the classes that I've played this expansion and know about. If I went through every tree I could find tons of examples of either 1/3 options actually being good, or cookie cutter builds, which still exist even with this new talent system. The old talent system was far more interesting, had more depth, and was simply more fun, especially while leveling. And the difference between pandaren and gnomes is gnomes weren't based off a fucking easter egg from WC3 like Pandaren were, and gnomes are in games like D&D, panda people aren't. Gnomes are high fantasy, panda people are just goofy. The raids were ugly as all hell, and boring to look at other than Terrace of Endless Spring. Mechanically Heart of Fear was tedious, ToT was decent, Terrace was good other than the last boss, and then you have SoO. The raid that lasted over a year, stretching out a 6/10 raid for 14 months.

If you wanted to play Paladin you had to throw Prot and Ret out of the window. If you wanted to play Druid then you had to throw out Balance and Feral. Zones had lack of quests and a lot of bugs and exploits. TBC- Horrendous lore, once again, raids were mainly just trashfests and most of the raids looked really ugly or dull like Gruul's Lair and Black Temple. Outland leveling was pure garbage. WotLK- Lore wasn't too bad, but most raids sucked. The only Wrath raids I enjoyed were ICC and Ulduar. Northrend leveling wasn't that great. Borean Tundra and Dragonblight are some of the worst zones ever made, Icecrown leveling was quite mediocre too.

It honestly sounds to me that you'd enjoy this expansion more as you are now. This is consistent with many I see. Many in my guild now, after going through the quests and soloing raids for transmogs, feel they did miss out on something different. I'm quite appreciative of something like MoP as it was so left field I had no idea what was going to happen.

Haha! Your comment about the mob on the bridge...lmao!!! Total blast from the past

Mop had the most enjoyable pvp of all time. No arguments.

The fact that people were more hyped about the rock bottom expansion called bfa rather than MoP is mind blowing

16:30 Daily quests are bad. Period. In every game. Because after 2 days, you are not logging in to play the game, but you are logging in to complete the daily quest. And that made me not play any of the games, that relied upon dialy quests. Because it just feels like a mass production.

I think Timeless Isle was the peak of openworld Co-Op gameplay for me and blizzard has never been able to recapture that experience but rather the focused too much on "FB-like Minigames" like garrisons and mission tables.

31:50 I still have some keys wonder how fast I could run through and do it.

MoP was my favourite expansion. Don't think I ever played more than I did back then. Hated the reveal, but it was so surprising.

I kinda loved it, because I just binged all the endgame content, and managed to kill Garrosh before WoD, it was glorious. I also loved WoD, there I said it.

MoP is my favorite for many reasons.

I liked MoP. Partially because that was during my WoW prime days, raiding heroic (before mythic was a thing) 6 days a week on two characters semi hardcore. I thought challenge modes were actually a challenge. MoP leveling was pretty good i felt like, the zones were just amazing and the quests were pretty interesting as well.

I loved mist such a good xpac

Why'd Pandaren be a joke race if they appear in Warcraft III? They are in the Lore since forever.

I enjoyed the hell out of MoP. Every expansion since hasn't been as great in my opinion. Though a lot of this is for 3 reasons: 1. There were a billion procs, and procs still had an ICD so you could track and predict them. 2. Snapshotting was still a thing. 3. Reforging was still a thing. WoD basically shat on all these things and really spoiled the raiding experience for me. The actual content of raids means a lot less to me than the ability to control and maximize my character performance in the raids. ICD procs and Snapshotting made a huge difference in the performance of each player for classes that could really take advantage of them. Reforging made getting a piece of gear that was technically an upgrade but had suboptimal stats not feel so useless. I know a big reason for both of these things being removed is that they "required" players to use add-ons, but I think they could easily make UI improvements to show trinket procs and cooldowns. And since they've removed Hit Rating and Expertise from the game, the necessity of a Reforging add-on decreases substantially. Then again, I played a Warlock. And they were consistently great throughout the whole expansion.

I remember being burnt out like 1.5-2 months into MoP by doing 5584 dailies every day and then I didn't come back for like 1.5 years.

MoP had some of the best raids IMO.

I have some bad memories with Lei Shen. The raid leader in the guild I was in had his head way too far up his own ass to see that what we were doing wasn't working. He blamed it all on people making mistakes and dying, which while true, was only partially the issue. For whatever reason, we ran with 3 healers in 10 man, and that worked all the way up to Lei Shen. I was one of them. So, I simply said that besides the burst damage, there is no reason to have 3 healers. If we instead have another dps, the damage output in the intermissions would be reduced, and I also said that I was willing to sit it out and let them replace me with a dps, or switch me out with a healer with superior dps. Of course, this didn't sit well with the raid leader, said "you're just saying that because you want to dps" again proving that he had his head too far up his own ass to hear what I said properly. Eventually I got tired, joined the raid with an undergeared alt, decided to tank the raid for the first time ever as well. I think we had 2 wipes in total for all bosses. People had similar gear and similar damage values on my Recount to my guild group, and I also saw that there were mistakes being made, just like with our raid group. But no deaths, everything worked just fine. So my suspicions were proven correct. After flashing my achievement in guild chat and talking about my experience, even showing off my shit alt character that I managed to beat Throne of Thunder with, some of them finally started to listen. After them persuading the raid leader a lot, we eventually decided to go with 2-2-6 as I had suggested. Of course, I didn't know about it, came in there as a healer as usual, but was told to switch to dps. So I did. First try resulted in a wipe, but we actually got quite far. Second try we actually beat Lei Shen. With me as top dps, despite maining healer. It was honestly both refreshing and frustrating to see that I was top dps. I didn't have the best gear either, and my reforges were awful since I didn't know I was going as dps. After encountering a few more annoying situations in that guild, I just decided to leave, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The guild was gone by the time Siege of Orgrimmar rolled out.

i never got the legendary cloak, i did raids super under geared. Just made my own groups and knew what i was doing, easy.

i had a job interview during vanilla wow i got the job and i had people pc dial up internet during the BC expansion

the trouble with the Asian style is that it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo overdone. If it was for one zone then fine, but no, the entire stupid exp pack was an Asian style bukkake that as for someone like me who doesnt give 2 shits about Asian style it just made me go "just hurry up and get to max level already so i can leave this retarded place" and not only that its bad enough that I see retarded fat kung fu pandas (seriously, how the fuck can a bunch of overwight pandas do martial arts? fucking stupid) rolling around everywhere due to Blizzards stupid descion to make those Michael Moore's and Rosie O Donnels a playable race.

@@poko3940 no, because Kung Fu Pandaland was a TERRIBLE expansion, at least WoD was original and not a complete bukkake-fest of a real world culture.

I never thought Cata was terrible, however I was a high end raider so maybe that was why.

This makes me want to go back and play WoW.

Went from not being able to open a sliding door. To making thousands streaming

Remember when Blizz announced Pandaren would be a new race but it was just an April Fool's joke? Or the other April Fool's joke where they said they were working on Diablo for mobile?

FALLOUT 76, ................. GIMME A SIGN!!!!!!!!!

people hated mop for goofy pandas even tho that xpac literally had the best faction war narrative in any of the expansions. Literally the expansion titlted "Battle for azeroth" felt more like allied race chores than it did a faction war.

Marmite.. I see you Brit, I see you
