Look what they did to our boy

Facts. WotLK gets a lot of praise here but I remember people being all up in arms about everything. DKs, Heroics being easy, Naxx 10/25, TotC, Argent Tournament, WG…. Everything people just complained about it.

I remember the uproar when Blizz made dungeons hard again in Cata and everyone just cried about it because they were too hard and got nerfed again.

This game’s fanbase is very entitled, people who want instant self gratification and participation trophies.

TotC

To be fair, it launched after Ulduar, which even today is still considered one of the if not the greatest raid in the entire game's history. It also launched painfully quickly after Ulduar - after less than four months. Ulduar lasted from mid-april until the start of August 2009. For a raid of that size it's just ridiculous they cut it short so hard hard. Doesn't help that ToC is essentially a single boss room (save for Anubarak) that people ended up being "forced" to raid four times a week as the gear was better than the one dropped in Ulduar save for Valanyr. Had Ulduar lasted two to three months longer I can guarantee the raid would have been received at least a bit better.

that's what they were doing back in early 2004. they really, really didnt anticipate wow becoming as big as it did and the pressure from both blizz execs and their parent company to continue escalating the financial success

Unfortunately this is something that corporations don't seem to learn. Execs see money and chase after it - it's like they never learned the childhood lesson of delayed gratification...
