What a fucking tragedy.
In hindsight, the fact that WoD was barely on life support as soon as it launched is a pretty miserable thought. Cataclysm drove a lot of players away gradually that MoP was just unable to bring back and retain despite being a solid expansion in its own right.
WoD was poised to bring things back on track and demonstrated that a lot of people wanted to come back. But man, did Blizzard completely drop the ball. It can't be understated how much of a disappointment this expansion ended up being. WoD was a game that you -wanted- to play, but at the end of the day just couldn't due to a complete lack of concrete, expansion-specific content.
