TBC ruined everything. Azeroth became a ghost town except for Orgrimmar and Stormwind, everyone was in Outlands. All the fun and epic dungeons and raids at level 60 became obsolete and just laid there collecting dust. No more epic 40 man raids. Raids were challenging in the start of TBC but soon became a noob faceroll. Daily quests are the bane of any game. You don't want to do the same thing OVER and OVER and OVER, that's called grinding. Yes there were elements of grinding in vanilla too but you never felt forced to do it unless you really wanted that epic vendor item... with daily quests you've constantly got exclamation marks all over the place pushing you and pushing you again into accepting the quests just to get rid of those exclamation marks just for the rest of the day *sigh*. In vanilla you did a quest and you never had to do it again, that is called progress... not an infinite boring loop like daily quests.

So yeah there you go: TBC dumbed everything down immensely and it lead to the ruination of the once great game WoW. Vanilla is the ONLY good time of WoW.

well it's seems I'm not the only one about all that pink nostalgia goggles for TBC, as Oyani said, summed up very valid points, but it's kinda expected to lay dust on the content that is 'outdated' :<

Vanilla @ guild/community feeling.

TBC for taking a dump on your elitist guild pricks in arena.

Wotlk for quitting the game.

Every expansion has had its good qualities, as well as its downsides. There are things I have enjoyed about every one. However, based on what I have experienced of it on Nostalrius, I would say that classic is the greatest time I've ever had on this game. I feel connected to Azeroth as never before. My opponents are challenging, my adventures exciting, my professions engaging, and my questing immersive. For me, the Burning Crusade would ruin that, and I'm not sure why. Perhaps because it marks the time when they began the first steps of changing the game, in little ways such as normalizing hunter pet attack speeds. Things like that add meaning to the game, and It was an extra way for your pet to be unique. Some would attack slow, some would attack fast. Although normalizing it is mild in comparison to some of the changes they've made over the years, it would still be a shame to be without it.
Best of journeys in Azeroth, and may nature bless you.

WoW died along with the lich king.
But really, TBC is personally my favorite. WotLK is a close second, but only up to Ulduar

Vanilla holds a special place in my heart, because I started playing in Vanilla. I had greater status and all in wrath, but that's then and there. Ah, good times.

I agree in some points, but in others i don't.

Vanilla is for me indeed the best wow time ever. The first time you create your character in this world in vanilla... it's an epicness that cannot be described. There was such a big world, many many things to discover, things to do. This feeling has only existed for Vanilla and nothing else.

There is not much to explain that TBC was focused in Outlands. Besides of that classes started to get tons of abilities that made them more versatile, the leveling was not the same as in vanilla... but still were great times, since the game was young, and people had still many many things to do, TBC was still really good.

I think in terms of gameplay the game got worse and worse as of Wotlk. Thats when the game started to get casualization. Was still good because of the PvP, and the Lore content was awesome, classes were really funny in general, even tho the game didn't offer the same feeling of hardcoreness as before.

With the launch of Cata, the amazing lore went away, some classes were completely broken, the casualization came stronger than ever to our doors, the game was fucked up. As of Cata, the casual progress was too high... and the content was so poor...

Classic+TBC+Wotlk were all good imo, but classic wins, prolly because of nostalgia? i don't know, perhaps...
