WoW really is a fun game, don't get us wrong. There's nothing actually wrong with it, and they obviously did a lot right or it wouldn't be so popular. I'm mostly mad that they didn't take PvP seriously for far too long, because in theory the game had awesome PvP potential, and WoW PvP was why I stuck with the game as long as I did (6 years? Longer than I played EQ by a year). And its still better than EQ1 is on Live now.
WoW is like checkers. Its fun. Now imagine that checkers was popularized to the point that millions of people were playing it all over the world. Pretty cool right? But you happen to know about a game called chess. And you quickly get tired of checkers. You ask people if they want to play some chess, but all they want to do is play checkers. And that's the frustration you see on these forums with WoW, we're all tired of checkers and want to play some chess.
