Yeah I probably didn't explain my feelings about the environment so well...
When I played warcraft 3 and went from environment to environment I actually felt something new... yes it's graphics aren't superb but the over-effect of everything gave the feeling of a completely different region. When I play first person shooters I find the scenery to be a key point in identifying a game... doom 3 wowed me with it's horror feel and far cry two really seemed like an african environment.
WoW is supposed to be an rpg yet the areas are so dull. When I would go exploring and find an out of the way cave I'd go in to find nothing.. except that I'd visited that pre-rendered cave in another area. When I go into a new zone I don't give a shit what different tileset they use when all of the mobs just stand around doodads waiting to be killed. In an rpg I want to see some life that really sets apart one area from the other, simple as that. I don't want to keep bumping into things I've seen before or keep bearing witness to massive amounts of unused space with trees scattered around.
...and I still stand by what I said about the player characters looking gay. When I'm choosing an avatar to represent myself I don't want to pick between a goofy-looking human with long hair or a goofy looking-human with long hair and a beard... I want something that looks cool.
Oh, one thing I forgot to mention that is incredibly shit about wow is.... wait for it.... gnomes. Why the hell did they get included as a race (aside from the retard pulling factor of trying to have something pointlessly cute) when there are so so many other races they could have pulled from warcraft. There's no way a gnome could kill an orc... even at level 80 I still think a level 1 orc should kick it's ass. Why? Well lets use this as an example -
Lets take a 5 year old and spend a year training him in martial arts. Now lets pick some random full-grown man off the street and make them fight. Who is going to win eh? Seriously a player that picks a gnome as a character because they think it's cool or funny should suffer the consequence of being beaten always. It's just lame/horrible.
....but yeah, I don't hate wow either. It's just a game that I can't enjoy from any angle no matter how hard I want to try and like it.
