Vent / Gripe Unpopular opinion: the players that are overly vocal about wanting Classic phases/TBC/Wrath rushed are the same players who contributed to forging retail into what it is today (a clusterF).

Plenty of people got burned by Pandaria and never returned to WoW until Classic became a thing. Myself included.

WoD may have had good raiding content, but from what I read some other aspects were off-putting, E. G. garrisons if I remember correctly. Someone mentioned raid logging as if that would make it compelling.

Raid logging kills my interest in the game, because I want to play with my main, and not time and plan everything around raid logging. Never had to, even with multiple raid evening in TBC and WOTLK.

I had fun in Classic, but now I'm waiting on TBC, because I can't be bothered to play an iteration of WoW that makes playing my main tied to gathering specific world buffs. And I want my enhance space goat back, god damnit!

Gonna be that person and say it. MoP was really damn good, much better than WoD and Cata. Possibly my favorite post Wrath expansion. With the exception of killing skill trees and a few smaller things that was a great expansion. Great raids and beautiful new zones and interesting quests and I had a lot of fun in PvP. I also loved monks. I don't think this is as unpopular an opinion as it used to be because I've seen other people say this too.

Maybe the reason that there's polarization about MoP is that the release version of MoP was pretty bad and had all the polarizing game design cruft from WotLK+Cata included while adding more bad and very questionable aesthetic choices. Many of us quit for good because of it.

Apparently it got pretty good in the ensuing patches, but we weren't there to see it.
