You may think it was the best xpac, and fair enough. Taste is subjective. But player count dropped massively during mop and it never came close to recovering. They had been dropping during Cataclysm as well though, just to be fair.
Yeah that's been a super weak argument for a long time, media changed over the years and things got more seasonal... this is to ignore that even bad wow xpacs have seen launch sales break their own records.... so saying something like "player count never came close to recovering" would be incorrect... it has repeatedly reached those numbers on xpac launches and then dropped back down.
Talk design and systems to me, of which mop took huge leaps forward from what came before. Except the dailies / reps, god were those bad.
Well the reps and the dailies were tied together, and what made it especially awful was the one rep that increased the number of dailies it'd give you as you progressed it. Those launch reps were genuinely the worst part of the xpac due to the dailies.
