Cataclysm was the best WOW expansion for me, here's why.

We found a place in Mt. Hyjal, where people have to do daily quests, that you are on the edge of cliffs high above Ashenvale.
Playing with my elemental shaman friend, and myself being a Death Knight, we were able to sink countless hours death gripping and thunderstorming people off the cliffs, sending their dead bodies into inaccessible parts of Ashenvale making corpse retrieval impossible.
This kept me up late at night, made me late for work, it was the thrill of an EPIC adventure hour after hour.
I don't know if WoW will ever be able to recapture this amount of fun for me.

Other than the MT Hyjal dailies everything else you described could be done in Wrath of the Lich King and Pandaria, I don't know how this makes Cataclysm any better?
But that said I'm badly biased, as I really, really hate Cataclysm.
I was also the first guy to point out in my server that you could clearly see the invincible mount

Enter a whole new realm of challenge and adventure.
Eh, PvP'rs have never actually wanted competition. It's why they gravitate towards this kind of behavior, zerging, or twinking.
You make me like charity
WotLK if my fav and WoD seems to have all the hallmarks of WotLK so it should be good.
On a serious note I think people rag on CATA too much, they often forget the improvements it made to the 1-60 level experience for new players and just focus on the then end game content.

I don't hate it, but I couldn't play through the top level content. Couldn't finish the underwater stuff and the mountain stuff just seemed really lame.
The leveling part of the game seemed pretty cool though. I mean, not really any better than it had ever been, but not any worse either.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
i should clarify
leveling under 60 is still fun but I preferred preCata 1-60 content
leveling 80-85 --- I hated the upper level zones

The above speaks volumes about your personality.
One mans pain is another mans gain I guess.
Cata was the last WoW expansion I played. Things really went down hill for me when these two people who kept knocking me off Mt Hyjal...
Nearly as good as 2on2 pvp in a pve-centric game with 11 classes.
1. That's not what gaming is about.
2. They weren't pwned at all. They were simply victims of environment design. To "pwn" someone you have to massively outplay them in direct contest. Personally + Owned = pwned. Not "I pushed someone off the edge". You have to demonstrate skill far and above what your opponent did in order to claim that. You did nothing of the sort. What you did was the same as a player killing a critter. Grats.
For example, if 2 guys try to gank you and you counter cc them while busting out combos that they weren't expecting and spank them like whiny children, then you can say you pwned them. But not because you pushed someone off a cliff.
Fixed that for you. Let's call it like it is.
No, gaming is, and never was about making other people feel bad for no good reason, other than to satisfy someone's inner sadist.
At least for me.
