Is it worth it?

I stopped playing at x-mas of last year and had no interest in returning to WoW... I hated the end of WotLK and Cata even more... but I'm reading a lot of good reviews and I do want to checkout the changes...
How does MoP measure up against the last expac? And for background what I liked the most was BC...

You really have to try it yourself because no one can tell how you'll like it.
Personally, I think WOTLK was the best xpac in WoW, didn't liked Cata very much and I'm having a blast in MoP (except the fact that I'm on a PvP server and there's way more PvP than before so I can't really level as easy I would like to)
It's still WoW, a lot of people hate it, a lot of them likes it.

I think it's considerably better than Cata was, for what it's worth. But it's all personal opinion, of course. I wonder if there won't be a free tryout at some point. You may want to give that a go.

There will be a 10-day free trial coming in the near future, similar to each expansion, might want to wait for that so you can give it a go and see how you feel about the game before spending money on anything.

Obvious kung-fu panda jokes aside, this expansion is easily some of the best work Blizzard has done to date. Great art, great storytelling. Blizzard learned almost every lesson they needed to from Wrath and Cata when designing it.
Also, kung-fu pandas are
awesome

it needs more real content. lets let blizzard create that without getting all antsy in the meantime about not being able to find a boring time sink that isnt, well, a boring time sink.It has a hell of a lot more content then the game had back in the days of Vanilla.

I don't think WoW is the game for you...
The game is an endless cycle of obtaining gear. I do raids, I get epics. I do heroic raids, I get better epics. You say there is only so much content, but that is why blizzard adds more, hence the expansion and patches.
The better gear you have, the more of the game you can complete and the faster you can complete it. I don't want to spend weeks working on a piece of gear that doesn't last, I want to gear up fast and work on things that do last such as mounts or achievements.
Personally, I see epics as something I have achieved that I can use to do more.
And also, all games are a time sink. If you find it boring, play another game. I enjoy WoW and this expansion has been wonderful for me. I am looking forward to raiding to see the new content and have some fun.

TL;DR ^ @nurgaming
Back to the topic, I felt MoP was by far the best improvement they made since Cata.
Heroics were made easier so that more players can enjoy the content and there are Challenge Modes for more aggressive and hardcore players.
The lore was awesome imho and the improvements made to this xpac was approved and liked by most of the players.

Please, do not type entire posts in capital letters. It's not pleasant for the eyes and is entirely unnecessary. I've converted your test to lower-case. It lacks capital letters for sentences but it's better than all caps. Thank you!
I'm still not sure if it's remotely pleasing to the eyes (it is still a giant unformatted wall of text) but if it was really in all-caps...it's certainly an improvement =).TL;DR ^ @nurgaming

Ehhh. To clarify Heroics are sort of the equivalent of the max level normal dungeons of other expansions (or at least between that and heroics of that tier - Wrath I can't be too sure of because the difficulty varied and my server wasn't too good early Wrath).
Edit: Expansion is pretty damn good so far. It certainly is better than Cataclysm but whether you want to invest a pretty large amount of money upgrading to it and maintaining a subscription is up to you.

So, I started to read through the wall of text...and realized, he says nothing; all of his examples are from the days of Vanilla, where he compares the low level instances to the raids, and says that the only content is in leveling. At one point, he busts out the old 'Customer is always right', which as anyone with the smallest experience with any type of sales knows isn't true by any stretch(in fact, most of the time, the customer is just plain wrong), which really just goes to show that if he's not playing the game, we're all better of for that.
TL/DR it, it's just a standard rant.

I'd say it's worth it. I got bored during Cata too, but the sheer amount of content (and a lot of it fun, often random content) in this expac is pretty crazy.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure the wall of text is a joke. If you look at it, they're cramming a lot of really specific misinformation into just the first paragraph, and they're practically begging people to correct them. They specifically said that they think ZG should be turned into a 5-man. Clearly, they are familiar with the game and are trolling for a reaction. The style reminds me of Christwire. Here, as on that site, I find it funny that people are taking the article as having been written seriously, and not tongue in cheek looking to troll.
EDIT 2: Having actually read it, I think that maybe this was copy-pasted from another source, when Vanilla was current content. It would be much more believable as an actual rant from years ago.
