Top Ten WoW Gripes

Posted 2nd Apr 2008 01:38 PM by Maticus

An article on ExtremeTech.com lists the top ten annoying facts about WoW. The author admits he is slightly biased (he’s clearly a PvPing Druid), but he makes some good points. Here’s the list from 10 down to 1:


#10 PVE Attunement Sucks!
Should certain content require attunement?

#9 Druid Nerfs
Did Blizzard give in to the whiners, or make much-needed changes in Patch 2.4?

#8 Lack of Armor Trade-in Mechanism for Hybrid Classes
Should hybrids have to get up to 3 different sets of armor?

#7 The Horrible Plight of the Moonkins!
Are Blizzard really ignoring Moonkins?

#6 Lack of New Maps for PVP
It’s been over a year since we’ve seen a new PvP map

#5 Expensive Flying Mounts (That Can’t Fly in Azeroth)
5k to ride a mount that can only be used in a relatively small area of WoW…?

#4 No Gnome Healers or Druids
Hmm, not sure about this one raspberry

#3 Fear: The Worst Game Mechanic Ever!
No one likes it (apart from Locks)

#2 Leveling Alts Sucks!
Should level 70s chars be able to “Pay” to level alts on the same account?

#1 Care Bear PVP Servers
PvP servers should be more blood-thirsty… apparently.


That’s just his view though, what are your top ten problems with WoW? Perhaps you think the game has been made too easy, or maybe you think there’s not enough to do between certain levels? Add your suggestions in the comments.

While he has some valid points this article does feature some whineage of the purest kind.

#3. Fear: The Worst Game Mechanic Ever!
thats just a bunch of blah tbh. Beeing zapped, mc’ed sucks just as hard. The only thing that is kinda nice is beeing polymorphed since it heals you up wink

#1: If all people did on pvp servers was gank and CC lowbies it would really suck to lvl. I agree world pvp is kinda dead, but I fail to see the positiveness in great amounts of ganking/griefing, even on a pvp server. The whole guard system… wel, it might have some tweakage: towns that are under continuous assault should get stronger guards/reinforcements, not uberspawned guard numbers. But all in all I think its an improvement over how it once used to be.

10. Personally, I don’t think dungeons or raids should require attunement.

8. If you are a hybrid and want to do multiple roles, guess what. You do what every else does and carry multiple sets. Warriors are not hybrids and they cannot DPS and tank in the same gear.

5. Flying mounts do not cost 5k Gold. EPIC flying mounts do and you do not have to have one of those.’

4. So?

3. All CC is overpowered to some degree - but thats one that is very hard to fix except making sure all classes have a CC break.

2. How else are you supposed to learn your class. WOuld have even more noobs if that was possible.

1. Ganking/griefing is not PvP. Wow…a level 70 can kick a level 10’s ass….I’m so impressed.

I’m sure I could come up with a lot but these are the things that bother me:

1) Foot travel is slow
2) Mounts are way too expensive
3) Mobs that run
4) Horrific drop rates for some quests
5) Lack of flight paths, modes of travel
6) Nerfing PVE to fix something wrong with PVP
7) PVP gear is still way better than PVE
8) No flying mounts in old WoW
9) Poorly implemented LFG system
10) Economy of some items way out of line
11) 25 quest limit for the quest log
12) no built in coordinates

BTW, I have a 70 Hunter, 59 Warlock, 35 Paladin

Bah, what’s with the fear whining? IF you don’t like fear, then get the trinket. Get over it smile I mean, priests can only pop fear every like what? 20-30 seconds. Also, if you by “Economy of some items way out of line” mean that prices on AH are way to expensive, that’s not blizzards fault xD. Players set the market, but then again this IS a “omfg annoying” thread, so meh smile

The thing that I find most annoying? Hmm, that’d have to be; anything that breathes, people asking how to join the general channel, someone thinking they can get something cheaper “just cause they’re 59 and need a mount”, people who abuses /2, people who randomly asks for buffs, goldbeggars, people who keeps spamming to get a free rush, players who can’t mark and last but not least, I hate britney spears, but that’s irellevant :D
