I despise pretty much every zone except nazmir.
-
Mulgore, the zone is so peaceful. I can sit here do my professions, level some alts, fish @ bloodhoof and must love the noblegarden event here. Sitting here at 7pm seeing the sun set down is really lovely.
-
Mount Hyjal for the questing, it’s really straight forward has a nice immersive story and some nice endgame daily hubs.
-
Elwynn Forest for the nostalgia.
-
Westfall for the zone.

2 - Tiragarde Sound - especially Boralus - i could happily retire there; great background sounds and some dodgy off the main track parts
3 - Vashjir - gorgeous zone -i used to just swim about and marvel at all the underwater details
4 - Lock Modan - love doing quests here
5 - Vale of Eternal Blossoms - or i could retire here and just farm the land - actually all of Pandaria is lovely
6 - Nagrand - both versions - happy sunny questing
7 - Scholozar Basin - love hunting and skinning here
8 - Netherstorm - especially Area 51, with the best named npc in any game (Remi Dodoso)
9 - Suramar - challenging to navigate but beautiful
10 - Storm Peaks - where the devs first really made use of the Z axis

The original Teldrassil and Ashenvale, Stormpeaks, Drustvar.
Can’t think of any others that has both the questing experience and the looks, that really got to me. The 4 zones above just hit me spot on on everything. I do love a lot of zones though.

But why? There are so many good zones, although Nazmir really is enjoyable.
Looking at the old zones hurts my eyes.
I despise legion in its entirety and MoP zones are all the same.
Not sure about that…
Have you tried comparing Dread Wastes to Jade Forest. Don’t seem too same to me.

It’s still a forest area with rocks.
Doesn’t matter which filter they put on it.
Drustvar. Beat me with a stick and scream how much Alliance is dead, but I will not change ! Drustvar!
And Shadowmoon valley in WoD. Icecrown in WoTLK, Feralas in vanilla. Darnassus and Gilneas.

WOTLK is my favourite expansion for many reasons. The lore, narrative and the experience overall worked for me.
