I personally quit retail in 2011 after suffering through Cata. It ruined the game totally beyond repair, and I hated pretty much everything it did to the game. It was the fork in the road between the good game we used to have, and the shit one we have now. It was the point where you could see where the game's direction was being changed, and not at all for the better. Honestly they could give me retail WoW as F2P at this point and I still wouldn't play it. But I would pay for Legacy servers, which they still refuse to host.
Bullshit. Was Wotlk what introduced Dungeon finders, free leveling blues, easy-retarded quest helper, free endgame gear (daily dungeons then ready to ICC), and pvp gear (free relentless then go for wrathful) etc etc.
That doesn't mean i didn't like it. Wotlk was nice, but the old wow we all love is Vanilla and TBC.
I don't know what your point is here, unless you're trying to say that Wotlk is worse than Cata, which I can in no way agree with. The game was still repairable until Cata patched in, but rather than fix anything, such as the BS you listed out, they ignored everything and actually proceeded to make it all worse. With Wrath, the game was in trouble and started to go in a bad new direction, but still could have been saved. In Cata, derailing train wrecked for good and we all knew there was no going back. Wotlk also had the last bit of good meaningful lore in WoW. If you ever enjoyed Warcraft lore, this was the end of the road. Everything after this was complete shit because they ran out of ideas. WoW could have just ended with Wotlk, and kept running servers for all 3 patches, but they wanted to keep selling new boxes, so that's what they did. Fuck every fan that wants to play those patches, buy our new boxes. Now you level through 1 expansion, just to level right through the next, and the one after that, skipping almost everything in each one, just to get to the final "end game", which will only last until the next expansion releases. It's a god damn disaster.
The best part about Wotlk though, and why it was so popular and had the most private servers, is because it was the first one to have a decent client. Classic/BC require you to drown your client in mods for the game's UI to be anything but terrible. I hope that if we do get legacy servers, we get them run on a newer client. This would be a dream come true for fans of Classic and BC. If not, the Wotlk servers will probably just be the highest population again.
