This really is the thread that keeps on giving. Not sure what I mean? Read the thread; read the whole thread.

Original Post:

Zones and Quests
I simply disliked all zones besides Nagrand and Netherstorm in BC. Everything else seemed to me strange and wierd. Shattrath is a prime example - worst city in the entire game - no "home" feeling at all, nothing welcoming, the banks are stupid. The quests definately added a little bit on top of the vanilla experience. Some were very well thought out, some were just the usual kill quests but in general I enjoyed it.

5-men content
Normal 5-mens bored me to death. Heroic were nice at the beginning and at the end it was a semi-decent way to equip some twinks to get them ready for Kara or post-nerf BT.

Raids
Karazahn - Cool idea, Nightbane and Opera were actually cool encounters. Could've done without the rest.
SSC - Simply put, the worst tuned instance ever. Hello Vashj respawn. So bugged, so untuned, it wasn't enjoyable at all
Gruul/Mag - Gruul was just too easy. Not as "epic" as Onyxia. Magtheridon was pre-nerf probably worse than Kel'thuzad. Insanely hard. After the 20 nerfs he became more of a joke like Gruul
Black Temple - Simply the best instance since Naxx. Very good design, some lovely encounters and a great ending
Hyjal - To me, the worst instance of TBC design wise. The Archimonde fight was cool thou.
Sunwell - Great instance, quite easy for the first two and then, holy heck, Twins and on, some of the best and hardest encounter design I have seen from Blizzard. Muru and KJ actually reminded me of the epic fights with C'Thun and 4HM. Great instance overall.

PvP
I do not care for PvP and never will.

Professions
I think it was a good move to give Professions some actual applications besides creating pots etc.. I do think it was a good idea to add epic craftable items. Gave the whole thing a new dimension and "free epics" are always nice. Some of the stuff (PMC especially) was actually quite good.

Misc
-

Best
Blacktemple, 2nd half of Sunwell

Worst
SSC, Gruul, Shattrat
