This one hasn't grabbed me like the others that's for sure. I have loved this game for more than 5 years. Had 2 accounts, 14 level 80s, every profession multiple times, totally addicted. I've only got 5 of my girls to 85 so far and haven't even felt the urge to log in for two days. I'm kinda bored actually, and that worries me after having been such a fan for so long.
We'll see...

The Burning Crusade was the all time best expansion, will always be my favourite.
There are some ridiculous changes, i actually miss the old orgrimmar, it seemed.. less depressing? and the stat changes.. whats going on? in WotLK we had say 100-200 stamina per item depending on how good it was, but suddenly we have 67834593893958390 stamina on our rings???

To be honest it's actually nice that for once people actually need a brain to play this game, WOLTK was a joke and this they made it possible to make a diffucult but fun content where you need to communicate so you can clear the content. And the heroics are not that hard there is just a lot of people out there who has not understood "Don't stand in the fire" or doing dps as you were still lvl 70. Read up on your character if you can't figure out how to play it omg!! And seriously i can't see why this expansion is smaller than other ones new profession ALOT of new quests (remember the new amazing 1-60) and plenty of heroics.. stop whining and play another game if it's too hard omg !

After paying £8 per month for 5 years this should have been a free download seeing as im not starting again from level 1 reshaping the world does nothing for me or paying £15 to transform into a goblin. This expansion gives me less new content than ever before. The new PVP areas are shockingly bland. The change in heroic difficuilty has caused more arguements in pugs than i ever thought possible. This cost the same as the whole game did to start with the expansions seem to get smaller and smaller further apart and more expensive. not impressed so far really disapointing at the moment. I think we deserved better for all the cash and time we have pumped into this game. Had to change guild as people have quit and it fell apart so lost all my guild rep to :( at least im getting nurfed next patch that will be fun.

The Burning Crusade the golden age of world of warcraft !!! I think the reason people hate Ghostcrawler is because his answer to balancing classes almost always involves a nerf over a buff. People hate nerfs, no matter how justifiable they are.I feel that ghostcrawler does not meet the standards needed to be a lead designer.

@Walterwolff: Yes, but if you improve it some may not be able to run the game, not everybody has high end PCs to run high graphics, I have to be on low all the time and still get really low frame rates at times.

@Walterwolff: many people would not be able to support a PC requirement increase. end of story. Not every one is able to just go out and buy a new pc, giving wow modernised graphics would alienate many players. end of story.

@Walterwolff: You seem to be knew at this game. They have imporved the grafics considerably. Do you even realise the work/money required to change a grafic engine on such a big game? My point beeing that they have done what you ask. Ultra settings wasnt there before you know ;)

First... well done blizzard you sure know how to make games still.
but i would suggest to make it more for the players not new players i started leveling a new char when cata came out and i found it so much easyer and GOOD job on the goblin starting Zones 10/10 on that one.
But come on make the game for the True players not for new players to play for the money its not like you dont have any.. 4.7 million copys =| and 13 million people paying per month come on.
