The Hype
The first moment I stepped into Draenor, whoa everything is new! New zone, new mob, new cinematics, new music. I stayed up late till 6am in the morning, lvled to 93 irrc. Everything is so enjoyable, I read every quest text and explore every area in Shadowmoon Valley.

The Rush
A few days later, lots of people already got their toon to 100s. I start to rush the leveling so I can keep up with the trend, I don't wanna miss anything that people do like selling profession items for profit. I start to skip those quest text, hit accept and rush to quest area.

The 100
As a casual player or say I don't want to commit too much to the game, the todo I set myself for WOD are:
1. Molten Core LFR for mount and mog.
2. Southshore vs Tarren Mill.
3. LFR WOD raid.
4. Stomp random BG with premade feature.
5. Ashran.

I did all 5, rate from best to worst (1, 4, 2) I cant decide on 3 and 5, they sucks.
The most enjoyable was Molten Core LFR, IMHO the best LFR I ever did since cata though lots of feedback says Molten Core LFR are terrible, people stuck in the raid hours of wipe because of those boosted 90s.
I had awesome experience with MC LFR, we wipe for like 3-4 times until we kicked that huntard because he is the main cause of every wipe, pull without permission, doesn't follow mechanic, don't even listen to command.
MC LFR is not tough but it is well balanced in terms of mechanics and difficulties, definitely more enjoyable than other LFR I did for past exp, it is just not a moving dummy where you faceroll your keyboard without giving attention.

LFR WOD raid, this is moving dummy and the trash mob means nothing. The boss means nothing.
Some people might say if you look for some challenge you should avoid LFR and go for normal/heroic/mythic raid but personally for me, those need commitment on the raid group which I'm not into.
Personally I prefer some spontaneous challenge but not needing me to do pre-raid preparation such as watching video guide just to defeat a timed mechanic boss. Rather, 1 or 2 wipe should teach a lesson.

Ashran is aweful, terrible, rubbish, bullshit, Bliz screw it. My worst experience, I queue-ed 4 hours for a 3v3 battle, dafuq is that. Everyone forced to do Ashran to cap the CP. I left immedietly after I capped that 200 CP in Ashran. Bliz need to fix this.

The post 100
Hmm...I got bored after capping my CP every week and finally got my conquest weapon. There is nothing else interesting except gear and gear and gear and gear. More like a farming/grinding game than exploration game.
Today I come across with WOD background music at youtube and realise that, I've actually rushing too much for gears and stuffs and ignored the art(music, environment) Bliz put effort on but keep watching my DPS, my rotation and stuff and asked myself am I becoming a robot that executes the game for optimum performance or a player that enjoying game at a very simple manner.

Well overall these are my experience with WOD, how about yours?

Rate my mog (1-10)

The hype is nice, lvling process is nice. After that if you're not pursuing rating nor raid gear then idk what to do lol.
I hope bliz can do something with transmog like instead of LFR for item lvl, some kind of LFD or LFR or any queue for transmoger. Prolly there is nothing to benchmark transmog so there is no one to compete like pvp and pve.

Idk but I do feel like I have to post this, still waiting Bliz to buff WW to be a able to compete with other class so I can get back to my monk
Monk vs Pally, by a player that main monk, facerolling pally and get kills non stop, so little effort needed to play pally.


Bliz really kind of screwed pvp balancing in this expac so much, the OPness is too significant to be noticed, I used to be not so sensitive to stats and stuff, I know mage is kind of OP in Cata, Warrior is kind of OP in MoP, in WOD, all the balancing seems to messed up so much compared to previous exp. Certain class is really button smashing and Arms Execute is way too strong, much like a no cd Touch of Death. Warlock is free kill. Pally takes no skill to play.
Experts don't flame me because I'm no expert, all based on my experience.

It is fun to be FOTM but the fun doesn't last long, it is more fun to have a fair fight.

There are plenty of yolo rbg 3 wins in the Premade feature. Win/lose is really base on luck, sometimes it turns out great, great leader, great peeps, cool peeps; some times ppl just that bad like never follow command, no communication, no focus healer or there is no leader to give command.
