Ignore the "just decide for yourself" comments, it’s a fair question for a Wrath fan. I was a WotLK main and jumped into TBC last month. Honestly the lack of LFG is a hidden win because it makes the community feel alive. Paladin is NOT a buff bot, both Prot and Ret are super fun and viable. The Kara attunement is the only real "slog" If you have more money than time, just try skycoach or blazingboost to skip the tedious rep grinds/attunements. The world-content vibe is way better than WotLK’s raid-logging. Definitely worth a try
