Fans can make any game not suck if they're determined enough. Rob The problem with that is that it’s the players who do those mods, not the people who you’re actually paying to play the game.

It's amazing the small deficiencies and minor details that I have long since forgotten, or accepted as just another part of the grand tapestry of WoW. I know you choose to ignore add-ons for the sake of enjoying the game in its "default" state, but that seems to me blatently ignoring one of the greatest parts of the WoW community. Many of the complaints you have, such as not being able to see rest xp as it wraps around the next level are also noticed by the modding community, who can properly dispose of such issues in one swift stroke of code. One can change how the game looks, feels, even plays, just because others care enough to make it so. The strength of the WoW community continually amazes me.

The Horde populations are almost always much lower than Alliance ones, and that may have frustrated your plans. (Or maybe not - who can say why people choose to be anti-social jerks in a MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER ORPG?) Also, you should try using longer auction times for your gear. I put everything on for 24-hours, just to give the maximum possible number of players the chance to see the great (i.e., crappy) stuff I can't use and possibly to buy it. One last point about the AH, items put up for auction right before the weekend (when the most players seem to be on) seem to sell better than items put on during the week. None of this is going to help your (thoroughly deserved) mood, but if it helps you to enjoy these parts of the game in later sessions, huzzah. Can't wait to read your next curmudgeonly post!
