Losing tooltips , losing maps, dislike the interface, just could not get 
anything right.
There just doesn't seem to be effective scalability for anybody without 
20/20 vision and a 60 inch monitor. That is purely personal, but it 
doesn't work for me.
Many bad ah and mail bugs, locks, delays, sorting, lost items - blizzard 
mailing you lost items without even raising a ticket is a worry.
Open bank and guild bank and finding every tab empty is a bit of a gulp 
moment.
They were back after relog.
I have tried with addons off, it doesn't seem to make much difference,

It is possible the bare tabs was an addon, but then I would expect it to 
keep happening.



Those and others is why I haven't resubscribed, which isn't a big step 
since I am not subscribed far more than I am subscribed. More like 'do I 
feel lucky?'
I paid for Wod but am really not looking forward to the start since it 
is quite likely to be a frustrating time.

There is a fair chance I will try it again in a couple of weeks for the 
live events , it could be good if it works.
Maybe things will clear up, they did allow a month to sort things out, 
but then there will likely be new problems.
Not really bubbling with anticipation.
