The Worst World of Warcraft Expansions

The Worst World of Warcraft Expansions

1. Battle for Azeroth (Metacritic Score: 79)

Released on August 14, 2018, Battle for Azeroth was initially met with high hopes. It became the best-selling expansion pack of all time, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to expectations. Players yearned for fresh content and balanced classes, but the MMORPG endgame fell short. Despite relatively good critic scores, the Metacritic user score sits at a disappointing 3.0/10. When compared to the most recent Final Fantasy XIV expansion, it’s clear that Battle for Azeroth takes the crown as the worst WoW expansion.

2. Dragonflight (Metacritic Score: 81)

Dragonflight finally gave the dragons of Azeroth their own spotlight. With a new race and class introduced simultaneously, players were intrigued. Although the User Score currently lags at 4.4/10, the trend is on the rise. While it hasn’t reached the heights of Wrath of the Lich King, it’s still a promising addition to the MMORPG family.

3. The Burning Crusade (TBC), Wrath of the Lich King (WoTLK), and Cataclysm (Cata)

These three expansions deserve an honorable mention for their unique issues that left a lasting impression on players. The Burning Crusade introduced the concept of Outland and Illidan Stormrage, Wrath of the Lich King brought the iconic Lich King storyline, and Cataclysm reshaped Azeroth itself. However, each had its share of challenges that made them notorious among the WoW community.

Remember, opinions on expansions can be as varied as the races in Azeroth. Some may cherish certain expansions while others lament their shortcomings. Regardless, the ever-evolving world of Azeroth continues to captivate players, and we eagerly await what the next expansion will bring! 🌟🔥🗡️

Note: Metacritic scores and user opinions are subject to change over time, so take these rankings with a pinch of Azerothian salt. 😉
