* Tropers/{{VVK}}: One more vote for the goblin starter quests, specifically the first zone. The goblins themselves are repulsive -- the annoying craziness of gnomes combined with being greedy bastards, giving them ''two'' different joke obsessions that are milked to nausea and beyond, seemingly headed for inevitable extinction when they invent exploding money. (I was astonished in ''Warlords'' when there was a goblin whose business and family had been caught in deadly peril ''and she cared about getting her family out''.) The first starter questline and zone are exactly what you'd expect from them, up to eleven, full of stupid jokes. You're not even trying to do something meaningful or heroic, just quests like "drive around in your lamemobile to show off to people." (Yes, you're trying to accomplish something by doing this, but if anything that makes it worse -- you're being fake rather than doing what you want for its own sake.)



* TRopers/{{cricri3007}}: I honestly was fine with Garrosh being a humble guy. It was bad CharacterDevelopment, but it was CharacterDevelopment nonetheless, with him learning to be an honorable chief and whatnot. But what I couldn't stand was Sylvanas. For me, she was someone with a severe case of self-loathing whose only purpose in non-life was to have revenge on the Lich King and then die. But, since the Lich King is dead and we wouldn't want to be rid of her (while getting rid of Cairne was a-OK) she stays. I admit I was quite surprised to see the Forsaken invading Gilneas. And then she used the new Plague, despite express order from Garrosh not to, and almost insulted him. But this is only a prelude to the real [=DMoS=]. The battle for Andorhal where she use Val'kyr to ressurect dead Alliance fighters to fight for her (thus proving that mind-control is in action since there's no way those people would fight for their former enemy minutes only after being dead). It also turns the whole Alliance questline of this zone into a ShaggyDogStory, which I have a very low tolerance to. Not to mention that Tirion Fordring (the leader of the Argent Crusade, you know, the faction that was fighting the Lich King in the last expansion,) being litteraly in the same region and not lifting a single finger when it becomes clear the Banshee Queen is starting to become the lich Queen. Imagine my surprise when the villain of the next expansion was revealed to be Garrosh who had, until then, been undergoing (poorly-handled) CharacterDevelopment and not the Lich King knockoff.
