World of Warcraft frustrates the hell out of me. Not because of it's gameplay, but because of it's content. A world of Orcs, magical swords and Warlocks is an unimaginative one that will only have true mass appeal if there's a link to common human experience.

World of Warcraft is sadly all about magical rings and wizards.
