WoW: Is Dragonflight just a Mists of Pandaria 2.0? Players draw comparison
With Dragonflight, Blizzard recently announced the ninth expansion for World of Warcraft. Included: a landmass that has been hidden since the Great Shattering, a new, unexpected and also neutral race, a class that is thematically strongly connected to the race, a villain that still needs to be uncovered, a rebuilding of the talent system ...

Mists of Pandaria 2.0
There are actually quite a few players who keep drawing comparisons to the fourth WoW expansion Mists of Pandaria from September 2012 ever since Dragonflight was announced (oha, ten years ago again Oo). A Reddit post nicely juxtaposes some of the similarities:

World of Warcraft | Dragonflight - the new expansion
- The final villain of Dragonflight has not been revealed yet. It was similar with the reveal of MoP, where there was already the idea of Garrosh Hellscream as a problematic leader that almost everyone wants to knock off the throne.

- DreamWorks has ... okay, let's not go there. ;)

Soon we'll find out what changes Blizzard is planning for the final raid of WoW: Season of Mastery.By the way, many players also write in the comments that they hope Dragonflight will be as good as Mists of Pandaria, because they had an enormous amount of fun with the Pandaren expansion. We also think MoP is a strong expansion because there was great content for all player types, some raid instances were great, and we also liked the story. Do you guys feel the same way?
