The big problems I see are
1. They are way too slow at generating content considering the pace of the game. They need more solo, group and raid content at level 60. Lots and lots and lots more. No, faction grinds are not content. Everyone knew this would be an issue for, oh, the past three years or so, because Blizzard is slow as fuck generating new content.
2. There are alliance/horde balance issues that boil down to population disparity and, more importantly, the fact that each faction has a class that the other lacks. See any "nerf shaman" post for the effect this has on PvP, or any discussion of Blessing of Salvation/Blessing of Wisdom for the effect this has on PvE. Hell, PvE balance is fucked to the point that Alliance guilds are crying that certain encounters are so easy that they are boring. These are encounters that no Horde guild on any server has ever beaten. Everyone knew this would be an issue for, oh, the past three years or so, because it's obvious that segregated classes will be impossible to balance unless they are functional clones of one another.
Basically, the things that you knew would go wrong the second you heard that WoW would be made went wrong.

In short, playing slow, playing short, playing non-obsessively. Maybe 17-18hrs of /played.
For your playstyle, there really isn't much to complain about with the game. The only issue that will come up is the endgame is not kind towards casual play - but really, you've got a long way to go and a lot of stuff to do and see and a lot of fun to have before you ever have to worry about that. And if you find endgame activities not to your liking, but still like the game itself, you can then roll a character of the opposite faction and have a different experience playing through again. |

Let me just say that WoW is the only MMOG I'm subscribed to at the moment. I've found the rogue to be incredibly fun. And damn you bastards for getting me back into it then leaving. Fuckers.
I really don't want to start over on another server, especially as Horde.

Rogue...are you one of those rogues who wait out a fight until someone is at 1/20th health and then gank them repeatedly? The rogue class would work better if there were better and more numerous ways to negate that goddamn stealth. As it is, they can hang around and grief an area indefinitely. I almost took up alchemy just to have a steady supply of catseye potions. |
All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu. This is the truth! This is my belief! At least for now...

Naw, rogue is fun even without ganking 1/20th health newbs. That class is what has kept me subbed for the last 2 months.

No, I don't wait out 1/20th health, but I do ambush out of stealth whenever I can, preferably on the targets with cheesecloth armor. I'm not high enough to really get in on some good PVP.

You're high enough for the WSG BG. |

I played WoW for 8 months but I haven't played for a month now. I had fun when I played, but just because I stopped doesn't mean I found flaws in the game.
WoW's fun. That players get tired of it like any other game shouldn't always be a knock against it.

The two biggest problems for wow that irritate me are the glacial rate of content updates. What takes eq2 a week or two to produce takes wow a month of hemming and hawing and usually a 14 to 20 hour downtime once the patch is ready.
The patcher.
I cannot believe that a first rate mmrpg uses a patcher so fucking crappy that people feel the need to mirror the damn things. This one I can neither understand nor forgive its just shoddy.
