this really was overhated back in the days, yeah second half of this expansion (thunder king and Siege of orgrimmar) was def better than the first one but overall we got some really entertaining and engaging story even if i didnt really like how they introduced pandaren, Pandaria is probably the most gorgeous place in azeroth and the Kun Lai Summit feels like heaven, overall life was good and some of the problems from Cata were fixed but cuz of things like shop and raid finder it didn't felt like Vanilla, TBC or WOTLK

still G R E A T expansion, isle of thunder is top 5 zones ever imo and Throne of thunder is my fav raid with Siege of Orgrimmar sitting in the top 5 aswell.
