whats wrong with wow?

[Betelgeuzah]

WoW: Cartoonish

FF: Classy.

That's the main difference what people feel is "wrong" with WoW. And it's just a preference issue, yet still important.

When Yoshida started making changes, people were offended because some of the changes removed some of the "classiness" of the game. The aggro icon felt cartoonish, and so did some of the larger monster models.

Personally I did like the way they did the quest icon, as it wasn't a huge yellow exclamation mark but something more subtle and not in-your-face (and you can't even see it if you're not close enough). That's the kind of thing people are looking for.
