First off Ut, you're right I meant objective. Thanks for your gentle and considerate correction.

1) Servers. I probably don't need to elaborate on this, but I will. It's been damn close to two years and the servers are not in ANY better shape than what they were 6 months after launch. Sure, after 6 months they had greatly improved over launch (as could be expected), however, they're still giant steaming turds. And the new hardware is a joke. The servers they've launched on it are down just as often as the ones on ancient hardware.
2) Class balance. I'm not going to get into a whole diatribe about how overpowered Warlocks or Shaman or whoever are in PVP or PVE, it's not worth it. Suffice to say that the patches to balance out the classes have been abysmal failures. Sure, some classes have been greatly improved but other classes have been left in the dust. And with the level cap increase these differences will become more and more apparent.
3) The CS. CS in any MMORPG sucks but WoW GM's take this to a new level. They are the most incompetent and emasculated employees of any online gaming company. It's utterly amazing how bad the GM's are, it's honestly baffling. While it's not really a selling point for any online game, you could certainly strive for mediocrity here instead of being the bottom of the fucking barrel below EQ even.
4) PvP. Battlegrounds are terrible and repetitive, but the "World PVP objectives" they came out with in 1.12 are the dumbest fucking things they could have thought up. Did they sit around in a room masturbating in a pile of their own feces to think this shit up? Also, the realization that the ranking and honor system are fucked up and retarded is only about a year too late. Maybe they should have thought about it before they put in the hopeless and obviously flawed system from the start? A bit of foresight would help, but it's hard to look forward with your head up your ass.
5) PVE. Figure out what the fuck you want the game to be. If you want to make shit for casuals and for hardcore, then get a plan and stick to it, quit dicking around with raid sizes and requirements.
The game was good for awhile, could have been great, but completely fucked now. And, for the most part, TBC looks like it will just fuck everything up more. It's really sad that the game that had the most potential to be a great game is on a path to be completely destroyed by incompetent management and assinine decisions by devs.
That all being said, I don't think I'd have a hatred like Ut for the next Blizzard game. I'd take their past into consideration, but I wouldn't stalk the shit out of every thread about it. The best part is he's bitching about shit not being done on release and he plays WoW (hi2u hero classes, any high end game, PVP rewards, more than one dungeon for the high 40's-low 50's ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect).
Why do you care if shit isn't done if you had no intention of buying it regardless of what it turned out like? It could be as good as WoW was for awhile or better and still you wouldn't be buying, Ut, so why obsess about it?
