The most recent expansion for WoW has been really good.

Vanilla good, Wrath good, or Legion good?

Not Wrath or Legion good, if the numbers are any indication. While the community has generally been positive, Dragonflight simply hasn’t sold very well.

The expansion’s over, anyway. They have officially moved the expansion cadence to only two major patches from three.

Thats a disingenuous question…

I can’t speak to your preferences as there are multiple different ways to play an mmo. I can, however, speak to the community’s perspective and I have not seen the wow community be more positive about the current expansion since modern wow.

Not really, since those have been the most popular expansions. It’s easiest to measure up to, no?

Its hard to judge community response for wrath or vanilla for a game made 16+ years ago (lots of people tend to looks things back with rose-tinted glasses).

I’ve been playing since MoP and started doing high end content in WoD. So from this perspective, I can say that I haven’t seen a more community response for the game since then, including legion. No endless grind for power, blizz being transparent about changes, and they are also listening to feedback.

Additionally, Shadowlands did a number of Dragonflight’s sales but recent reports indicate that more subscribers are coming back to retail wow and the expansion does not have the post-expansion drought of subscribers.
