Not so fun (Cata QQ thread)

Ok,as my computer broke this weekend and wont be repaired since next week,I spent afternoon on my laptot surfing internet and then I got an idea to finally make this list. In the begin when came 4.0.1 patch I was struggling with getting the new mechanics of the game and all those spell customizations for classes.From the begin of Cata only being announced and all changes we read on Wowhead and WoW Insider I wasnt so excited about Cata finally coming because I know a true WoW gameplay cataclysm is coming.
I will write here just some things I noticed and that arent so fun ingame atm.Please read this list because I made this list for people to read and comment not for those who come to forum say for each topic something like: "this one is noob","noob QQ-er again","this question was here 10 times already" etc.
Important that you know that I am not writing all this stuff because I cannot handle it or it is too hard or challenging for me to do it.
CLASSES GENERAL
-Some fun and needed spells taken from classes,added new but still not in balance with missing parts.Adding some fun spells wouldnt kill them (Blizz)
-DPS far from being balanced,even though I am top 5 DPS in my guild raid group I got around 5k more DPS then a Retri Paladin or Elemental Shammy with same level of gear.I dont believe this is question of gear or skill,this is question about Blizzard making balance in DPS players.Those player who I overdps by big amounts are noobs,they are even very good guild core players with bunch of experience and who know their class upside down
Dungeons and Raids
-Huh,here is so much to say,so lets start.
-Normal dungeons - at first,the whole system that we first gotta discover dungeon is just ridicoulous,they are giving lame xp,quests are easy but also not giving quite enough experience,on begin it was fun to see new content and to try it out but spamming them had no use
-Heroic Dungeons - first,to get in u need 329 iLvl...spamming grim batol,tolvir and hoo normal to get gear? no tnx,buy 50g gear to get into a queue with guild tank friend? yes please. Imo they should have made better iLvl of quest rewards in Tw.Highlands so players shouldnt need to spam normal dungeons.In my server average for DPS queue for normal dungeons are 30 mins,for heroic dungeon is 25 min,healer queue for normal is 15 mins,same for heroic,tank queues are ofc instant.Reason for that might be low population of realms in my battlegroup or lack of tanks in same.
-Difficutly of heroics - at first everyone was saying how fun and challening for a change from wotlk heroics are,wouldnt say so...I remember starting days of wotlk heroics,they maybe were slightly easier but spent tons of nerves and gold for repairs there.Now,around three months after launch of Cataclysm,people are pulling groups without a single CC,one shotting the hardest bosses in Stonecore and Grim Batol which used to be hardest heroics u can get in LFG for sometime.
-Raids - I have cleared the the whole first tier of cataclysm raids.Up from ez mode BH,to BoT and Throne of winds with al'akir to BWD with Nefarian.They said its harder then Wotlk raids,fo sho it is but still not challenging enough.Cleared in wotlk all together with Light of Dawn and heroic Halion and didnt find it too hard to handle.Cata raids normal way easy also.Now we're heading to heroic bosses but this is time when I step out for some time.I am one of those guys who like to play universal.I will gear my paladin and death knight,pala as healer and death knight as tank to go thru these same raids as tank and healer to judge the diffiiculty of content.Our guild is now going 10man heroic modes to check out the content and when we clear it with few 10m grps we will start with 2 25mans.
PvP
-Screwed first by big health pools.Each duel and fight in PvP is now little harded and requires more skill then gear but now it looks too much as a 5man dungeon with this small dmg and such big health pools with level of gear as Vicious Gladiator sets.
-15 min for BG queue.Sure,no problem.Done your dailies and no arena skirmish so u got nothing to do? Well,thats a problem.Ofc you can always alt-tab and something else but removing skirmishes is a big hit for those who like to do them and for those who are just starting playing their new team comp and they go for the stars.
-Tol Barad - heh thats a topic. WG was a fail in late wotlk cuz nobody wanted to go there anymore and pretty much had no use.Atleast on my realm.As I play on a low-population realm with 80%+ horde (my faction) there is no even world pvp. So many dailies is just too much.Hitting Hellscream's Reach/Baradin's Wardens exalted is very easy and not challenging at all.I have got my spectral wolf and drake in few weeks.Problem is in Tol Barad can get only some players who got the luck to be picked for the battle.Others are just not gonna get the reward,the PvP enthusiasts are gonna glitch the TB birdge to get the honor for wining or losing TB.
-Realm problem - On my problem lately all good pvpers from horde and some other realms came to alliance faction to pvp and now they get TB very often and now the most of our realm,the horde cant do TB dailies and BH properly.If I wanted to be unfair I would say that should have made the TB just as WG with more ppl from one side with tenacity given to other but that would lead to one shotting and maybe even million hp of players from low populated factions.
Achies
-Glory of the hero - made that after 3-5 weeks of launch
-Glory of the raider - challenging,requires good guild making progress in heroic content
Character screen
-Nice thing adding MS and iLvl. They failed with counting items in ur bags into ur iLvl. For example your raid leader asks you for ur iLvl and u got 350+ just cuz u got fair amount of epic pvp gear which is useless for PvE while he has barely full heroic gear in PvE set.
Talents
-Specializations is fine.Mastery as idea fine but should have made it non customizable thing.Mastery as stat sucks.
-Talents - Really simple now. One Elitist Jerk will spend afternoon testing best talent and glyph combination,post it on forums and everyone else will just copy it.So much about being unique.
Guild
-Guild experience - nice.
-Guild talents - announced but still nothing,better like that,perks are working perfect.
-Guild rewards - costs too much.Pet for 300g? If I wanted to spend that much for a pet I would have bought some rare dragong hatchling or something. Especially if pet is just number in achi list for you.
-Guild reputation - Not fun cuz of cap. While I was leveling I got capped and now when I need rep more then ever on max level I am doing dailies for it. Not counting those guild runs which died when tanks and healers are doing daily hc first thing in the morning and all the ez grp guild achies are done long time ago.
Professions
-Archeology - if u ask me,a waist of time. Account bound epic items are fun,fossil pet and mount also but not worth the time.Only if u are somoeone without job or school with too much free time imo. Too long leveling,boring and then a rare chance for items.No tnx.
-Other professions - Fairly ez to level nowadays when materials are very cheap.
Reputation
-Everything is ez to level up with tabards. Only therazane requires some bigger effort considering u gotta do Deepholm quests in order to even get neutral/friendly with them.
Quests
-Farly ez,some of them are quite amusing.Those into lore wont find it so fun.
- Dailies - easy,therazene dailies can give even an achi if u do it few times or in needed way.
This guide is all in general and has been some of my thoughts.More coverage next week.Feel free to add comments. Comments without meaning and offensive ones not wanted. Now is time to say what u dont like about new expansion

-kidna my opinion ye,as I wrote,but found some guildies playing since vanilla having the same opinions
-I never got kicked even the fact I had mage cloth pvp items on my paladin just to get in heroic (ye funny stuff)
-CC were important because no matter how skilled you are with gear we had those days healer was oom in middle of simple mobs fights and tank was going down in a sec,each pack used to be a treated as a boss

I could have wrote something similar about wrath, although with less netspeak/engrish most likely. Some people mesh better with some xpacs, if this one isn't for you quit and come back for the next one. Also, if you don't want to burn out so fast you could always take the content at a slower pace...you have no one but yourself to blame for that part of it.

Also, my quit has only just recently happened (as in the past few weeks).
LOL.
So I've quit World of Warcraft... It does not mean I have to quit attending the community that I've come to know and enjoy.
Geeze...now there's a new
rationalization.
Um, lol? So he doesn't want to play WoW anymore, that means he can't interact with the people on the non-WoW centered section of a forum? Get the !@#$ over yourself.

He's saying if the guy is on wowhead he hasn't quit wow basically...or "If you've 'quit' what are you doing here?"

Also, who says quitting is supposed to be cold turkey? As in drop everything that is remotely related to the subject and move on.
Quitting wow is like losing weight. Anyone can do it for a month or two. But keeping it off requires a complete change of lifestyle.
Um. Okay.

So... Your point? Another Entitled Casual QQing that Cata is too hard and They pay their fifteen bucks and are entitled to easy gear. BAH! Wrath is a good example of what happens with Entlied Casuals. Get the hell over it! 329 item level isn't difficult to get! If need be, buy the blue crafted pvp stuff!
