you really just hate people that play the game differently and its not even masked.

I kinda felt the same at first, but after so many years on retail I look upon it with kinder/softer eyes, so to speak. When I level in chromie time I choose cata when I donāt go to Outland. Sure some zones like Westfall lost a big part of the original allure but others like both STV zones are an improvement. Not to mention desolace.
And face it, even vanilla zones had blantant pop culture references 
Ungoro comes to mind. I do agree cata dialled this up to 11.
Well yes and no. Raids in cata are harder but thereās way more focus on other stuff than raiding. I always bring up transmog. I adore this feature and it has kept the game alive for me.
Do I think that cata is the best expansion? No way, but itās defo not the worst one.
I truly believe that me reliving cata will be more pleasant than it was back then for some reason.
Donāt even get me started on Redridge.
I have an odd relationship with transmog. The idea of it sounded wonderful at the time, and I certainly made use of it. But after a while I began to have doubts, which eventually turned into outright dislike.
I canāt really explain properly in words why I ended up disliking it, but I think it was mixed in with my feelings about all the ultra-convenience that Cata brought to the game. Sure it was great to run around in my favourite old armour sets, but for some reason the experience felt, I dunno, I guess ācheatyā for want of a better word. For RP thereās a certain sense of ritual and active participation about going to the bank, getting out your chosen outfit and equipping it, then going back to your combat set afterward. Having the set āalways onā just felt wrong somehow.
And even wearing an old transmogged armour set for combat, such as my beloved Ebon Netherscale that I absolutely grinded my asp off to make, farming motes for days on end felt kind of āwrongā when equipped as a transmog item - but I cannot explain why, it just did.

I like it, but granted I play it until the rambo character beomes a questgiver. I do miss the feeling of danger some parts of the zone gave me in vanilla, like the keep.
If I have to change one thing in cata zones it would be the removal of elite quests. I do get why they did it, but they felt epic. Oh and class quests.
Why? I canāt see any downsides. Most dislikers say you canāt see another charās powerlevel that way but I personally never look at other peopleās transmog, only my own. Not that I can recognize other classesā tier sets, esp for classes I donāt play.
A bit weird but I can see your reasoning I donāt feel the same way but I can understand it. To each their own at the end of the day.
I certainly donāt mind transmog being in the game, Iād not even mind if they brought it over to WotLK, it doesnāt affect me in any relevant way.
There are two kinds of changes, additive and destructive. Most (not all) additive changes are either welcome additions, or do not affect me or my playstyle as they are optional, I donāt have to use them if I donāt want to. Example: New class - Death Knights, introduction of Arena, new quest hub in Dustwallow Marsh, new raiding tiers, Equipment Manager, Transmog, voice chat. etc. etc.
Destructive changes actively remove something from the game. It used to be there but now it isnāt: Example: Reagents, ammo, class quests, profession quests, group quests, talent trees, spell ranks, poisons, pet loyalty, pet happiness, soul shards, old world content etc. etc.
All the above directly affects me in a very meaningful way, and what makes it worse is that the choice is removed. When Cata originally went live the option to play the game I wished to play was taken away from me. It was a choice of āsuck it up or quitā. I chose the latter.
For the most part, this underscores the negativity I feel about the expansion.

That I understand completely. Itās how I feel after they rushed and then deleted TBC Classic, the one I looked forward the most. Sure it might be the least popular version of the 3, but I know thereās a demand for at least one server.

No I feel the same. If there had been a TBC Classic option you bet your boots Iād be playing it right now. As far as Iām concerned TBC was the absolute pinnacle of WoW - the time period when the game was at itās most perfect. It had all the original vanilla content intact and (mostly) untouched, but added a whole new world of additional content - in short it was wonderful.
And like you, I felt that the Classic version was a far-too short experience. I didnāt have anywhere near enough time to do all the things I wanted to do.

Garbage is saying much. Back then it was just a bit too different to what we were used to. With all the stuff blizz is throwing into wrath atm cata wonāt feel as strange I bet.

I have quit. And I will continue not playing until Wrath Era is a reality. I tried once having world ruined and characters and choices taken away, and the destructive changes
talk of here force fed me. I find no joy play Wrath feeling this looming ahead.
If Wrath Era comes, journey ends when I am tired of Wraht - long time yet as lots of ach. and so on I have not got yet.

And with Accountwide talents, I will not return!
I stopped playing the progression server when my guild stopped raiding in SWP, because the guild was the only reason why I even played TBC. Iām currently chilling on Classic Era with my old main which I copied and I plan to go decently hard on SOM2 whenever that hits.

Literally no one wants to play gay ho mo twink scalie dragons and gay centaurs āretailā, so prolly wotlk forever.
HELL YEAH BROTHER You show them
Thalissa Iām sorry but I truly donāt understand you. You didnāt/donāt play wrath classic and you have quit playing wow alltogether, though you still post, of all places, in the wrath classic forums.
What do you mean with this? Do you mean account bound mounts/pets? Because acount wide talents are not a thing
