NiekVL: Couldn't help but click to the end first. 10/10 actually fully agree with it.

emissarial6598: 2:43 (tangent) Circuit City closed all stores in 2009. Apparently it's been partially revived in some form.

T3RS1: Blizzard WoW is dead. Private servers are only option now.

GdotWdot: I feel clickbaited into listening to a therapy session.

tnecniw: Nah dude.

I can't agree with this list. XD

Vanilla -> Wrath is (IMO) at best C-tier.

Because if you don't like raiding, you are shit out of luck.

Across the board.

My current list:

S: MoP, Legion, TWW

A: BFA, DF

B: Cataclysm, Wrath

C: Vanilla, TBC

D: WoD

E: Shadowlands.

And I can justify all of it.

A mixture of gameplay, variety, lore and structure reasons.

HamadAlMutairi97: Why do people list Vanilla as a expansion? it isn't.

Vaegarion: Potential topic for a Nixiom Talks. Discussing a new WoW TTRPG. Personally I think WoW needs one, you can put all kinds of side lore into the books and flesh out the setting more where the games do not, will not, or cannot. You can ask questions like who would make it. The old one was D&D based but WIzards/Hasbro are wretched to work with. Maybe Paizo and the ORC licence? Or perhaps a whole new system entirely. I like to rp in WoW and I love its unqiue flavors, but it cannot tell all the stories I want to tell or experience, which can be done in a TTRPG game style.

HDevezas: No Mysteries of Azeroth on the tier list. Would be solo on the S category.

fardrives: I will say this about Shadowlands, if only they made Sire Denathrius the main Antagonist and removed Torghast it could have been an A tier expansion.

totomen666: I would put Dragonflight to the "C", Lizzard needs a good wake up from their OW2 horny diversity dream, Dragon Knight Drakonid were right there, and they failed to copypaste GW2 mount movement mechanics, still stuck with mentality of many specs in one class... while at best each class must have DD tank or DD heal spec's - since there no way in hell to balance classes with multiple DD specs for them be viable in even amount, Beast Master MVP or just tool for Timmy on one-button rotation.

But all these dreams were crashed when they failed to recreate WC skins in OverWatch 1:1.... who in their normal sane mind gonna pay for skins that look worse than homeless cosplay's; there whole goldmine in WC/SC/Diablo multiverse crossovers... and how many expansions/class/cosmetics just this idea can sell... i'm sure Chinese dev team gonna explore it like how they doing with exclusive for China merch, SC2 has whole mod about playing with WC factions and people clearly horny hot for Warlocks in Diablo. because Diablo devs can't understand that to sell Druid2.0 you need to make it unique (watch at WicthDoctor, Tempest, Blood knight and Warlock reception) but Spiritborn was done in so half-assed way that even them selling Crusader as if it's a Paladin didn't caused enough outrage.

ExiledBarbarian: Hope you come back streaming again after that big polen blow out over your area nix

bback74: Vanilla reigns supreme. Its launch was a once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece that can never be replicated. other than that I do agree in the list with the exception of Midnight. I do like the gameplay even if the story suck, and I think I will enjoy it as much as I did Legion when it get some more updates.

HuehueQ.I83: legion >>>>>>>>>>> tbc.

DeathstarXXL: How many times you gonna do this tier list. Swear I just watched you do this

Aaronsplace: cata is the worst expansion no contest because it shifted from what vanilla bc wotlk was to current. WOD is a close second but its not even world of warcraft so shouldnt be on the list. Shadowlands is terrible too, rest are decent with legion and wotlk being the best imo. To me BC and vanilla can never be S tier due to how buggy and unfinished much of it was, Wotlk was that same feeling but a complete game in all aspects.

Barce1023: I’ll never forget back when I was like 13 I would do the Gilneas RP on Moonguard. It was so elaborate and actually felt like a living city with the amount of people we had. There were corrupt kings and rebellions against the crown and politics that felt so real.

zenfar1892: 1:05:11 This perfectly sums up wow since shadowlands for me

thewal1ofsleep: I don't really care that much about the actual placement of things in a tier list, I enjoy them because I get to hear you talk in detail about the subject and I find it interesting.

Draven316: I hard quit WoW after shadowlands, despite playing since early WOTLK and tons of private servers

Game just doesn't feel how it used too

HPNomad: Holy crap finally someone else who remembers WeGame. I was a bug eyed 12 year old who hadn’t hit puberty yet making in-game machinimas with my squeaker ass voice.

What I would give to go back to those times man.

TheRetifox: I do agree on Mist on Pandaria being in A TIER, but kinda could at least say why Mist of Pandaria is in A tier. All I learned is that you missed Classic and nothing about expansion itself lol

MadboiParody: Most of these talk video hit for me but unfortunately, this one doesn't :( I feel you used where you were at in content creation as the most driving factor to this list. Just some small feedback. Love your work!

CortesGamingPR: As someone who just got into wow and is very interested in learning everything about it, I’m mad that I didn’t get into wow sooner. I sit back and just watch people tell their story is amazing.

Tomas.s-j4c: I strongly disagree in Dragonflight in B that expansion should be in Z

Ghalion666: TBC gets a big negative if you DID raid during classic wow. The drama that ensued by going from 40 man raids to 10 and 25 man raids was not fun =P Benching people that raided with you for all of classic wow was pretty messy. I'm not saying that the rank is wrong or anything though, just saying that's a big element in general.

harveylegs: TIP: use 2x speed for a normal speaking pace

Rikaaj: In my opinion I prefer Shadowlands over BFA for gameplay at least. Shadowlands was fun to play if nothing else where as in my opinion BFA was ok at best and nothing annoyed me more than leveling the Heart of Azeroth neck piece. I also think Shadowlands had better raids and dungeons than BFA.
