So pretty much every expansion so far had a goal (end-boss)
At TBC it was to get Illidan down... At WotLK it was to get the LK down and at Cata it was to get DW down...
But now, at MoP, who for goodness sake do we have to get down? When I bought the expansions you could always see the "end-boss" at the cover... Will the "end-boss" now be some giant-ly proportioned Panda?
Seriously, I don't get this rather puzzling turn of events(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##ElhonnaDS##DELIM##Please don't bypass the profanity filter.

It has been known since the xpac was announced that the final boss would be Garrosh.
And don't bypass the language filters with *. The mods don't like it and its against forum rules.

Didn't know either of that. But seriously... MoP's story line's kinda lame

It past expansions we've dealt with a number of the Old Gods. The Sha in Pandaria are seemingly the overshadowing nemesis in this expansion, as Deathwing, Illidan and the Lich King were in past expansions, and they are the remenants of a previously defeated Old God, so that is a continuation of the same set of arch-villains we've been fighting since Vanilla. They also noted that this expansion was supposed to be a return to the focus on the Horde-Alliance war, and so it should be much closer to the forefront than the "Big Baddie" that we've had in the last 3 expansions.

I disagree entirely that "MoPs storyline is kinda lame". Who knows how many rabbits Blizzard still has up their sleeve. Knowing exactly how things are going to pan out is extremely boring anyway. I prefer the unknown.

I think the story in MoP is far superior than the other expansion... which were just kinda ´ok, how long til we kill the end boss´.
With MoP, the story has snaked it´s way and is much more interesting. I think they made a mistake saying Garrosh is the endboss, but even still, the story is awesome because we don´t know why. Does he get corrupted by the Sha? Does he actually end up controlling the Sha and becomign too powerful for his own good? Does he fail with the Sha, and mindlessly butcher more trolls and BEs attempting it.. so much that the other leaders unite to otherthrow him.
Much better than BC and WOTLK where we just knew we were going to waltz into their strongehold and kill the final boss. No real story twists.

I hate MoP couse its too bright, too colory, too cute and everything... I loved Vanilla, tBC and I like WotLK the most. Why? Killing the death himself! God damit it was epic! Frozen undead dragons, undead minions Necromancers and everything! It was epic! Now? Killing Pandas, Monkeys, Forum Trolls, Random stone Draeneis, random black cloud and floating snakes. Epic? Faaaaaaaaaar from it...
(Remember this is my and my friends opinion).
I can understand why some people may not like MoP and its theme/raids/etc but I think there needs to be different types of settings and new types of things to fight in order for wow to continue to be interesting. It can't just be undead/dragons/old gods/demons constantly or it gets old and there is nowhere to go with the story at least imo. Overall I like MoP and find its new zones/storyline much more interesting than I did the Cata zones/story. Cata to me felt like a bad retread of Vanilla(although the redoing of some vanilla zones was kind of nice though not always). I have criticisms of MoP just like I do all the expansions but overall I like it better than Cata and Wrath though i liked the Wrath raids better.

Considering the Sha are the living embodiment of an Old God, and now you find out that the Mogu are just androids doing their job...well, it's a hell of a lot better then the spaz writing of Cata, the pussification of the Lich King and the focus on the Emo-King in BC.
I say hear hear and bring out more storylines like MoP!

Personally i love the MoP storyline, and I was one of the doubters when it was announced. By far the best of the storylines in my opinion.

I'd have to second this.

I think that if this same storyline existed, and the race they chose was not Pandaren, but was something less fluffy, and more tough-looking, that a lot of the people who have the "Freaking Pandas" mentality would find that they enjoy the story quite a bit. For the most part, regardless of the cartoonish nature of the race, most of the storylines are very serious and very well written, the humor is clever and very little of what is said or done is affected by the fact that they are chubby panda-people (except maybe half-hill), and not dragon-kin, or some other ripped, taloned, dangerous-looking race. I think that the appearance of the race is something that a lot of people couldn't get past, which is a shame because this is probably the best written expansion of the game. I find it funny that in a game where there are established races like murlocs, owlkin, furbolgs, tauren, worgen, centaurs, quillboars, naga, dryads, aarakoa, and ramkahen (some of which are much more cartoonish that the Pandaren, and many of which have been in the game since day 1), that there is an uproar about MoP suddenly catering to kids by putting in animal races.

+1 to what ElhonnaDS said. I think people are just stuck in this idea of hating the pandaren, like it's a trendy thing to do to complain about them being cartoony and childish when they are anything but. Most of the stories are not childish at all, with a handful of exceptions regarding their weight and boozing. I don't like them as a race purely visually (I started a panda monk only to delete it and restart a different race), but storyline-wise I don't see anything wrong with them or the expansion.
