We look at common complaints concerning the state of Azeroth

Still, it is unfortunate that many of the grand old raid bosses from “classic” WoW have also been made irrelevant due to the new expansions. So we decided to pay Onyxia (one of the most famous raid bosses from “classic” WoW) a visit one last time before shifting our focus towards completing daily quests, tackling heroics, and moving on to Ulduar in WotLK.

With so many people playing WoW, it’s no wonder that every change (big or small) comes with a laundry list of complaints. But in the end, we can’t really get behind any of the common complaints about post-expansion WoW that we’ve run into. We can understand why some feel frustrated. But the pros overwhelmingly outweigh any cons we’ve considered since returning to the game. What do you think? Have we missed any common complaints about how the expansions ruined WoW? Do you have a story of a guild that’s full of Death Noobs? Are siege weapons the best thing ever? Or are they just a good way to cheat yourself out of Honorable Kills? Tell us what you love and hate about World of Warcraft (and GamesRadar) in our comments below.
