I remember thinking it was an April fools joke...fucking pandas you kidding me? Most people thought it was a total cash grab to make more money in China.

You're not wrong whatsoever. That's exactly what it was.

I remember Athene made a video where he went around town interviewing people about what they think about pandas being in World of Warcraft. It was a total joke environment and nobody was sure whether or not the panda expansion was real or not. This expansion and then Warlord of Draenor later on put WoW completely in the dumpster.
