That takes some impressive mental gymnastics.

Case in point, EW not only started with the highest playerbase ever, but even its late-patch "troughs" still retained the highest active playerbase compared to similar "troughs" in past expansions. The simple reality is that EW is viewed in general by the playerbase as a huge success. It's okay for individuals to not like it, but to act as if that opinion somehow represents everyone is deeply flawed.
If you think reddit and Facebook actually like EW as much as you are making them out to like them then you must be on dark reddit or something

Say EW is better than HW or SB even (SB story was mediocre but it murders every other expansion for volume of content) and reddit will rip you to shreds, HW literally saved this game

Let’s not pretend praise outside the forums is universally positive
