I agree, also let me respond to the posted that had issues with bugs in his Tunrda endeavors. I to have done all 130 (plus some) quest in that zone. but I didn''t experience any of the bugs that you did. I will however say that my framerate was down a bit from previous experiences. But don't get lag (data streaming issue) and framerate (PC issues) mixed up. I play on a older PC in my living room that serves as the hub for online connections in my house. My wife's PC (in our bedroom) is considerable more powerful, but has a wireless connection. I have issues when I get in high risk situations like spell effects and Dalaaran. Where she does not (she did d/c once in a Nexus group with me but none of the others including myself did).
Each expansion will suffer from bugs from time to time as testers on the test servers cannot and will not catch every little issue.
You obviously have not experience many mmos. Yeah they are using a lot of the same skins for quest gear and sure they appear to be lazy to the untrained masses, but do you really expect them to make the same mistake they did with TBC? That problem was TOO MUCH LOOT. It was hard to keep up with the itemization of all that gear and I for one didn't like shuffling new gear with EVERY new raid instance. What they needed to do is what they are trying to do now. Separate the 3 main group of players in WoW:
Soloist/Puggers
Small guild raiders
Large guild raiders
How do you do that? Easy...you create a sense of envy/pride within those groups. Soloist/Puggers will continue to use the token system for most of their gear. And their gear will reflect that. It will feel epic with stats and bonuses, but it won't look epic.
Small guild raiders will have access to epic looking gear tier 7 gear but it won't have the best stats. And large guild raiders will have access to the best gear with the best stats. All this is to reduce the need for so much loot distribution. There is no need to release new gear/tier sets with EVERY patch.
You have a LOT of players to cater to:
Arena PvPers, BG PvPers, Soloist, SG raiders and LG raiders. All with their subgroups. And I for one have not seen ANY mmo in the history all the ones I have played from free to paid and UO to Requiem, have so much content/options available to it's user base. So do not try to belittle what they have accomplished so far. This was not my first MMO and it definately will not be the last one I play. But even I have enough sense to understand the sheer amount of content they have released so far is vastly superior to any other mmo on the market if not only for the amount of it they have released. Free or otherwise.
I for one hope Blizzard succeeds in finding that perfect balance to cater to hardcore and casual, as well as PvPers and PvErs so another company can come along and take that sample, slap some stylish graphics on it and a touch of some new gameplay element. Then we would have a game that has as much appeal to all gamers as WoW but with better graphics and a new spin on how to do it.

I for one do NOT feel like sitting through with the frustration that you and those other 150k dealt with. I will never understand the hate/rants/bitchin that 90% of the posters on this site complain about.
1. You played as much as you want and are now tired of it: QUIT.
2. You are not paying for anyone else's account here to play: GET OVER IT.
3. You will not convince anyone of any type of greedy corporation plot: THEY ALL ARE ANYWAY.
4. You will always seem jaded, unforgiving and condescending to anyone here if they like a game: QUIT WHINING
Good for you for liking EQ, finishing SWP, getting 5 level 70s all with full T6 sets and full exalted with every faction. I'm unhappy that the OP is not content satisfied. But it takes more than 1 game to sustain a company. Blizzard has mutiple IPs that all require work, teams, development, research and good ol cash. So please save your tears for someone who cares. I am 35 years old, father of 2 girls, husband and full time worker that has played UO, SWG, AQ, DAoC, EVE and many free, beta and P2P MMOs and as of now, WoW is fine the way it is. My smallest girl just got her mount at level 32 (new patch), my wife is a AH nutcase and I'm currently grinding HPs between raiding BT with a Viet guild (so we have our language barrier to overcome).
No one will think you differently for not liking WoW, Blizzard or any other game/company for that matter....so why the never ending high and mighty attitude about how 'easy' WoW is? No matter how well you try to mask your opinion for WoW and it's players......people will see right through it.
Ramonski7, I don't understand the point of your comments.
Would you like it better if I came here and posted "I love WoW" because I agreed with your opinion of the game? You and 10 million other players have the WoW forums at the warcraft website and in these forums. Go fanboi somewhere else if I can't post an opinion here.
WoW is too easy for me. It's my opinion. You don't agree. You love your WoW. It's your opinion and I can respect that. I will not call you down because of it.
1. I have quit.
2. I am paying for my wife's and my son's accounts.
3. I'm not out to convince anyone of anything.
4. Boy, you have no idea what jaded is... Go read a SWG board if you need a definition of jaded.
I don't need to mask anything, my friend. WoW gamers are like any other gamer except they like a game I don't play because I find it too easy. That's all.
Thanks for your 2 cents.
The point of my post is obvious: You are spiteful, condescending and insulting (fanboi am I?) to anyone who likes something you do not find challeging. I'm glad you pay for your family's accounts...too bad I wasn't refering to YOUR family (reread number 2).
Jaded gamers are those that use their bias feelings of one game (they themselves hold dear to them) and try to knock it over the head of others in a attempt to discredit features, gameplay or overall quality of a game another player is enjoying.
So again let's recap: I'm not a boy, I'm not your friend and if you got those two wrong how can you possibly label me something and you don't know me from Tom, Dick or Harry?
PS: I never once disagreed with your opinion or insulted your person (Again reread my post). I think you're barking up the wrong tree and will find out I'm not up there. I simply stated that your attitude stinks and let people enjoy the game they are currently playing. The content is fine for many players. BTW if Blizzard can keep your wife and son playing even after all the tripe I've heard you spill to strangers then I say they are doing a hell of a job. And that sir is my 2 cents + 1.
