Obviously this will be heavily based on opinion, and people will disagree, but I've noticed something unique about this expansion.
Everyother expansion so far, by the end of the xpac, everyone is hating on it. The standard opinion is usually "Screw this xpac, lets get to the new one". Its typically not until some time has passed and players look back with a clearer head and start judging the xpac as a whole.
(Look at MoP for example. That expansion was mostly hated by most of the community for years. Its only recently that MoP has been getting more love)
Even the most beloved expansions (WotLK, BC) had this end-of-life negativity. (I can hear you typing already, YES this was the case)
Legion is the first time I'veever seen so many people praising the expansion even at the end of it's lifespan.
Does that mean Legion truly was the most successful expansion from a quality perspective? Is it simply the fact that we didn't hit a major content drought that caused players to turn on the xpac?
Just an interesting observation
