The imbalance was absolutely awful because CC and self-sustain was on literally EVERYONE so arenas literally turned into who could take 1 person out of the fight the fastest (predatory swiftness on cyclone.fuck me feral was gross).Īll in all though it was an absolutely amazing expac for me and it's when I really became 'Gud' at the game (as someone who has been playing since Naxx patch of Vanilla). You mentioned that you don't really care for PvP but it is worth mentioning that MoP is where PvP probably died for a lot of the playerbase. Many people also were not fans of 'Welfare Legendaries' since they felt it reduced the importance of the term Legendary (as for me I couldn't give a shit less seeing as how the previous system just led to poaching like crazy). The year long wait during Siege is something that started with Wrath and continued until WoD (and ends with Legions hurray!) so I'm not really faulting it, but it did happen.

Main-wise it really wasn't more grindy than any other expac and WoD actually smashed MoP out of the park as far as required time being spent in game because of mission spams for garrisons on top of having to do the weekly CM for 640 gear and spamming heroics for warforge). Obviously the daily quest grind was pretty bad at the start (although honestly it was just really alt unfriendly. T14 is probably one of the worst tiers in WoW, but luckily T15 and T16 more than made up for it. Dungeons were pretty trash and even though MoP introduced CMs which eventually led to M+, CMs even on Gold were piss easy. I would say like other expansions, it did have a few big flaws though. MoP is probably also most people's picks as far as best feeling rotations overall (WoD did have some specs that played better). It also introduced warforging (thunderforging) which is controversial so I'll not say much more. Honestly MoP led the way for the current metagame and it was where utility really started being recognized as massively impactful. This was also the height of RPPM and when parsing culture really started to rise due to the prevalence of World of Logs and the emergence of WarcraftLogs. It also introduced the flex system which evolved into how the current normal and heroic systems work. Isle of Thunder and Timeless Isle were pretty good places to waste your time. ToT is still imo best raid in all of WoW in terms of mixing difficulty, creativity, and the overall design of the raid (H Lei Shen obviously my favorite boss ever). The story was actually fairly dark although Garrosh could have been handled better. Around 575, I went out to Pandaria to try the new 'trade in' method from Brann Bronzebeard at the Seat of Knowledge. I primarily leveled in the Eastern Kingdoms and once I hit 450 archaeology, I went to Kalimdor to finish leveling and with the hopes of finding Tolvir dig sites. Pretty refreshing break from 'Champion, go save the world from big dragon evil man 457!' with more self-contained stories and small time neighborhood spider-man type of work. Recipe: Vial of the Sands - Item - World of Warcraft - Wowhead. Great variety of mounts and all that good stuff. Getting Shado-Master and Stormbreaker when current was a blast). Really good solo end-game content (seriously, go back and do all the achievements for the various questing hubs and stuff.
