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.
