Really ? This soon? Iam disappointed. Did not only the hype for classic die but also the fire of the fans?
Insulting me after the first comment… not even trying anymore. I guess classic died and it’s fans with it
Where is LSW anyway? I miss him for some reason.
MoP was overall a solid expansion. It had some issues with CCs in PVP, and to a certain extent, classes did feel too similar at times (for example, feral druids and affliction locks played similarly), but overall class design was solid. I have been a huge advocate for Blizzard to go back to MoP class design, and simply improve on its shortcomings, rather than the complete wipe they did in WoD.
The expansion theme itself was also a huge breath of fresh air at the time. Although it got dubbed “World of Peacecraft”, it really gave a laid back sort of vibe. You seldom felt this over-arching stress of war and doom as you played through the start and middle of the expansion, which built up to deposing Garrosh toward the end.
Will also say, my best moments playing this game were in MoP. I am not sure if that has to do with the game itself, or the guild I was part of, but I still keep screenshots of my moments of glory from that expansion.

Isn’t it also about the timing?
TBC: liked
WotLK: loved
Cata: hated
MoP: “better than Cata and WoD thus quite loved”
WoD: hated
What if MoP came out right after LK? I bet we’d have laughed our asses off and rejected it.
Casters that could do everything while moving, one shotters, endless CCs, Sha of 
, bg botting prime time, lame dungeon themes, quite bad grinds (yea yea mmorpg bla bla), empty servers, Legendary cloak for basically everyone, LFR/D not filling up due to 5/8 bosses defeated feature in the pop-up, … plenty of things were not so great. But those got hidden between two worse expansions 
Don’t get me wrong, I liked Pandaria and played it a lot. But if you ask me it’s far behind TBC>=WotLK>Legion (partly)
No idea. I liked LSW because he never changed, he was stubborn and persistant and knew people hated him for it.
It’s interesting really, because Casterclysm would have been loved if it came after TBC. The entry level dungeons and raids of Cata were turned perfectly (granted, some 10man fights were overtuned), but people grew used to WoTLK heroics not being worthy of the name “heroic”, so they cried that Cata was too hard.
If people still had the TBC mindset instead of WoTLK’s “wahh everybody should be able to do the content without trying!!!” mindset, perhaps Cata’s dungeons would have never been nerfed.
The sad thing about Cataclysm is that people only seem to remember patch 4.3
