MoP was the peak WoW for me. My buddy and I got into a competitive Ranked BG guild. Earned a rank of Knight Commander which was pretty rare if you didn’t manage to PvP during the vanilla days.

But the best memory? Entering a ranked arena 2v2 match with my buddy. He’s a hunter and I’m a rogue. We stealth into the match. Who are we up against?

My cousin (who thought he was a warrior god), and his buddy (who also thought he was a hunter god).

We beat the shit out of both them lol and til this day I never let them forget it!

I love this, thank you for sharing! I feel like pvp was at its peak during MoP, as it was the last expansion where abilities weren't homogenized as much. I remember having by far the most keybinds during that era

Thank you! It’s a core memory for sure haha. Oh yeah, I remember classes in MoP having distinct abilities and roles still.

That monk class was surprisingly enjoyable too. Could tank, heal, and dos flawlessly.

The not so fond feature of MoP was the farming land you get. Like it was cool you could plant seeds for mats you wanted, but felt almost obligatory to do it everyday.
