Reverse WoW exodus

had this feeling that it's just designed specifically to waste your time. Dragonflight gives me a game to play in my time.

I don't know about Dragonflight, but WoW was a huge time sink before.

Anyone remember hanging around WoW's General Discussion forums in early MoP when everyone was talking about how the dumb pandas were for babies and MoP was going to kill WoW? And how it's now one of the most beloved expansions and no one seems to recall how absolutely reviled it was at the time?

New expac bad, old expac good has been the meme for a while. Expect to see Shadowlands in a similar light (people already tried to do it in Dragonflight).

Except MoP was always bad. Dawntrail is only bad because SBI took over production.

Hot takes from someone who's afraid of the word "woke" and a company.

I was more surprised at the assertion that MOP was bad, to be honest. The whole SBI allegation was just cherry on top.

The discourse was legitimately so bad during MoP that if I dug up old Metacritic reviews circa 2012 for it and told you they were for Dawntrail, you would believe me without a second thought.

MoP was the worst expansion (at the time) with my favorite class designs. I loved taking every single one of them into the Brawler's Guild. As for the rest of the expansion? Pass.
