I’ve heard a few people talk about us not having a “Big Bad” guy in the next expansion. Some don’t know how to feel about it. Others don’t like it because it doesn’t give them something to focus on towards End Game.
I’m not so sure about the “No Big Bad” idea.
You can find this paragraph on the Meet the Pandaren website.
During the bleak days that preceded the sundering of the world, when demons flooded onto Azeroth and threw the entirety of the mortal realm into jeopardy, the last Emperor of the pandaren discovered a way to protect his land from the devastation. His deal with fate shrouded his land within an impenetrable mist for ten thousand years, but the nature of his transaction has left Pandaria haunted ever since…
See that?
The Emporer made some sort of “deal with fate.” I think that is where the “Big Bad” will be found.
Is this guy melancholy, or what?!
Of course, this is just conjecture. I’ve no idea. However, as I read it I can only assume that we get to kill the “Big Bad” thing that is behind leaving “Pandaria haunted ever since…”
To be honest, I’m not one of those players that needs the “Big Bad.” I’m the casual that enjoys exploring, running alts, and RPing. Give me a new zone, and I’m in heaven. I then enjoy doing dailies, because it gives an illusion of being helpful. So, I continue to look forward to the Mists of Pandaria Expansion.
So, what do you think?

While Blizzard said that there would be no “big bad”, I do suspect that the storyline will still hold something for us to fight for (or against!). The whole part about the escaped Sha I imagine might tie into this as well. Cause what is the Sha (other than something bad) and where is it now.. and who created it?
I think there’s plenty of options for things for us to fight against in the end, even if it’s not a big, named foe like Deathwing or Arthas. Personally I’m kind of hoping for slow revelations as the expansion continues where we find out more and more instead of knowing the end boss from the start.
I don’t know if I believe what they say, or not. What I make up in my head is soooo much more fun.
I’m in agreement with you on this one. It would be great if there was a slow play out of some kind. That would be great.
I’m really hoping for something that unfolds as the expansion continues – I think that’d make a nice change to the last expansions “gotta get Deathwing/Arthas” vibes. Like a mystery
