I don't play WoW, so I can't say for certain. But I do have an inkling about why people complain. They are paying for a service, a game, that is for their own enjoyment. When the game fails to live up to what is promised on the box, but more namely pleasure, it gets lambasted.
I think its pretty normal to complain about aspects of any game. All in all I don't think people hate the game entirely, and there certaintly must be lots of pleasure to be derived in it or else no one would be playing it.
I agree there is problems when the effect starts snowballing, and people start to jump on the complaining bandwagon. But once again I'd appeal to the truth behind the scenes: people generally like the game.
Posts like this can help to put it back into perspective. But they definitely won't change the active complaining.
Here's to hoping the snowball (if it exists.. again, I don't own WoW and don't follow the WoW boards that closely) stops.
Cheers,
Munk
