Jintha'Alor - "Are you SURE this place isn't an instance?" Jintha'Alor must have THE most annoying walk back from the graveyard, the place is essentially one big maze. How many people have NEVER gotten lost in here? I'd say very few. =)
Not to mention that no-one is EVER up to join a group for it (Jintha'alor). I soloed my way to the top on my 53 paladin with mostly blue gear,took me nearly an hour, only to discover that the boss at the top is in no way soloable. she casts an insta-cast polymorph that doesnt break on damage and takes a negligible amount of mana, then hits you with he stick. The polymorph also has a no cooldwon, so she cahn do it over and over again, and just to **** you of even more, she hals herself. I've never been angrier at a game in my life. /me growls

Hehe, I usually get guildies to run me through, as a 49 fire mage, It's freakin impossible to do anything there on your own... though I have ran thru the whole thing (from very bottom to the ampitheater) without dying, thank god for blazing speed!

cleanup on elevator 3!!
I actually like TB and Mulgore.
- The Barrens: oh nice the town was not far (Camp Taraujo). Oh wait it's a town, there's a FP, but nothing to do. Now where is the REAL town? Why are all the mobs lvl 20 here? Am I going in the right direction? Hmm... why are all the mobs lvl 23 here? Must be to the north after all. *centaur/hyena pack* Hello Mr Spirit Healer, it's me again.
- 1000 needles: let's put a roaming elite centaur with adds near where players have to hand quests out. That's if they haven't been killed by the roaming hyena elite with adds. And let's make a cave with harpies where they repop faster than a group of 2-3 can kill them.
- Feralas: why did they put an Alliance outpost at the "easy" entrance, and lvl 50 mobs at the Desolace entrance. I never figured that one out.
- Hinterlands: Blizzard employee thinks: let's make it nice for Hordies. First if they follow the road they will run straight into Aerie Peak. Then they will run straight into NE marksmen. Then we will put some elite trolls in the middle of the road. And when they have finally made it to the other end of the map, we will place a lvl 47 stealthed wolf in the middle of the road, again, just for fun. Oh, and let's put a roaming lvl 48 elite on the beach just before town, in case they survived so far. It's not fun if they can get a new FP without dying at least a couple of times.
- Swamp of Sorrows: let's make only quests with ultra rare drops, like say Monstrous Crawler Legs. Should keep them busy until the mobs are grey for them. And let's put a lvl 39 escort quest where the guy walks in the middle of 4 warlocks with imps, so that we are sure nobody can survive it unless they are at least 10 lvl higher. And it wouldn't be fun if there wasn't a roaming dragon.
- Ashenvale: let's kill low-lvl Hordies with a quest to go to Zoram Strand that goes through an Alliance town with lvl 40 guards, will be a lot of fun. And let's make a quest with satyrs with a droprate of 1 in a million.
- Orgrimmar: HS to Orgri. Go make coffee. Come back. After 5 minutes notice that all the characters in the inn are only grey circles on the floor. Go watch TV. Come back. Soon the decor will have loaded too. Go for a walk, shopping, watch a movie. Come back. Notice the 5000ms lag. Go to bank. Change camera angle 20 times to find a way to actually talk to the bank guy. Plan for a 10 minute trip to AH across the road. Meet half of the server population, /crit major wall of chat. Find the 1x1 pixel zone where you can actually talk to the AH guy. Go out. Ask guard for directions to profession trainer. Notice how they don't help at all. *sigh*
- UC: get out of zep, try not to fall. Go to UC. Take lift. Fall from lift. Lift crushes you. Rez in Brill. Go back. Smart move: wait until door opens to rez. Move forward. Major lag. Lift crushes you. Finally make it inside. Go to AH. Go back to mailbox. Nope that's the bat handler. Wonder why there's only one mailbox in the whole of UC.
- Hillsbrad: ok let's go back down from the Frostmaw quest via Cohrann's dagger. Elite ?? alliance guard spots you from other side of map and one-shots you. Don't you love it?
- Arathi: let's put a pack of elite ally cavalry patrolling the main road. Just in case they haven't been killed by the roaming giants yet (with adds of course).
- Tanaris: where else can you aggro an off-screen lvl 41 hyena when you are lvl 50? I swear the aggro radius for roaming mobs in Tanaris is much higher than anywhere else.
- Boot Bay: let's make a town with a lot of twisted passages, low roofs so that camera angles are constantly screwed up, an access ramp to Horde FP about 2 inches wide, and especially let's make them fall into water every time and again - and make it a pain to get out of it, of course. Oh, and wouldn't it be cool if the guards weren't giving any directions? Definitely! And let's also make the ramp to get out of the boat about 2 inches wide, they all need a good bath anyway. Did I mention it was a pain to get out of water?

I agree with Azuarc's list a lot. I'm surprised Azuarc is the only one that mentioned Wetlands though. It's got more "drag-em-out and find x" quests than any other zone I can recall, and loads of high-aggro, run-away-and-bring-a-friend mobs than I can stand! It was also my first exposure to Murlocs. A short idea of the thoughts that ran through my head in Wetlands:
"This place is cool- I love how it looks. Oh, look- it's a fishie frog man. And those huts are... huh? Arglrglrglrgl? Oh damn. Okay, I'll just back up and let my pet tank this (Arglrglrglrgl)... damn- I must have aggroed that one but it was far away! Wait, this one runs away fast! What the hell, he just ran into those huts. Oh, good- he's bringing friends. I wanted to eat dirt, anyway."
"You want me to go back and do what? Gobbler? Gobble this, you effing stupid NPC crackhead. You should have told me the FIRST time!"
"Okay, I'm past those effing murlocs now. Let's go do that quest where I have to kill Gnolls. (Hyena laugh) - Ah, there they are... and they're all in lovely close-knit groups so I can aggro them easily if one runs (sprint) like that into the group of them and... mrph. Okay, run back to my body and {Hyena laugh). Oh dear lord.
"Okay, I have to kill these oozes for a bag? Lady, buy a new one. Oh, these aren't so bad. They do have a wide aggro radius though. Okay, let's count kills. One, two, three... thirty four, thirty five. Maybe I have to go into the tomb itself. (Instaaggrodeath!) Nope, stay out of there. Thirty six, thirty seven... fourty eight- oh! It dropped! /dance.
"Oh, I have to kill Orcs now? And look, they're grouped as closely as the Gnolls." Whee.
"Dragon whelps? No problem! I can kill them. (ZOOM!) Where'd that one come from? Oh, I'm BBQ. Let's try again. I'll take this one over here in a corner by itself. (ZOOM! ZOOM!) Where the HELL did they come from? Oh, look, here comes another one. Looks like they want to give me a death cuddle."
"Hell with this, I'm going to Duskwood."
"This place is cool- I love how it looks. Oh, look- it's a fishie frog man. And those huts are... huh? Arglrglrglrgl? Oh damn.

The Barrens
Cow Druid q-giver: "You like swimming?"
Wee Orc: "Errm... why d'you ask?"
Cow druid q-giver: "Oh no reason rly, I was just bored and want you to dive deep into senseless pools of water no one really cares about or needs to be at except for me, each part of an oasis patrolled by annoying centaur with 3 hyena pets and solo hyena's just slightly over your level and the waters themselves crammed with snapjaws who, by the way, are very p1ssed off for some reason while all other snapjaws around Azeroth are kind and neutral in general and have masses of armor and hp you will hardly be able damage... and oh, these are one level higher than the guys roaming round it."
Wee Orc: "Do I look stupid?"
Cow druid q-giver: "Do you really want me to answer that?"
Wee Orc: "..."
Cow druid q-giver: "Alright, try the guy in front of me. Thanks for nothing. /moo"
* Wee Orc merrily runs and frolics towards qq-ing orc q giver*
QQ-ing orc q-giver: "My wife's gone. I think she's dead. QQ."
Wee Orc: "Hi, I'm Hen. /greet /lol."
QQ-ing orc q-giver: "I think she's dead. Go find her. NOW."
Wee Orc: "Kk?"
QQ-ing orc q-giver: "Oh while you're at it, get me 60 quilboar tusks just in case they killed my wife. They each have two tusks but for some reason always only drop one - when they drop - until you need only one more and then they drop 2 so you got 61 tusks."
Wee Orc: "?"
QQ-ing orc q-giver": "C'mon it's fun!"
*Wee orc runs into inn, logs out and gets deleted by account owner*
Thousand Needles
"Welcome to 1k needles, when you're done hovering over the elevator floor because you just missed it by half a second and plummet to a horrible, bone-crunching death for quite a long time, be sure to visit our town. Please be aware that the first town you just got killed at was hostile and you need to be one town further. Feel free to do quests bereft of fun, zig-zagging between an amount of needles not even coming near a thousand. And no, it's not weird that our elevators go down just as fast as you would in a free-fall and that when you did catch it on time you would actually be killed as well in theory, but not ingame. Don't forget the guide, thank you."
Shattrath City
"Welcome to our city that looks like Alliance Gomorra. You won't be feeling at home being Horde, but that's alright. Feel free to get lost between the beggars and emoting npc's. Our city sucks, and we're well aware of it - that's why we like to stress it by having two warring factions reside next to eachother each employing a means of transportation we all like so much. Oh, and we have only one here, so you're gonna have to wait the whoooooooole time before it comes down again!"

Nagrand, Telaar. Why cant they put guard rails on all the damn bridges, many haven fallen and died unnecessarily becuz of the damn lag or jsut when they steal a peek at the lady in front of them bending down to pick up something in the cyber cafe
Quote:
And for the person who was talking about Old Hillsbrad, yes THRALL IS SO STUPID in that instance!
They made him like real player characters: he breaks CC early and doesn't wait for the healer to mana up.

Sunken Temple - "What's that? We can't jump down? We have to kill the trolls? Then remember a random sequence of idols? Well that doesn't sound tooo bad. Is this your first time here too? Same! Anyways, let's kill Eranikus now! I heard he drops good loot... WTF?! Where did all these dragons come from! WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE CANT FEAR OR POLYMORPH THEM?"
/wipe
"Time to try again? Okay, let's kill all these dragons. *phew* Now that that's done we can finnaly get to eranikus! =D ... WTF?! I THOUGHT WE GOT THEM ALL!"
^ Rinse and repeat until you finnaly find all of the dragons that are hiding deep into every corner.

To the post about Durnholde - u talk to Tabetha not Thrall there - she triggers the next stage! I hope u didn't give up over that...
Ashenvale: Because straight lines are overrated. And we want to give you an excuse to use the auto-unstick feature.
Shatterath: Because we want you to want a flying mount. Or have a repair bill the size of one.
Slithilus: Everyone hates bugs. Everyone hates elites. Let's combine the two!
Shadowmoon: Drab colour schemes rock! (though can be nice to look at after some of WoW) Also give plenty of lava for people to fall into. (My friend has fallen into the lava at least 5 times in 2 days, I've probably died in it a handful of times)
Netherstorm: Reminding you that ghosts can't fly.
Mor'ladim - because red/orange elites like to aggro.
Caves: If you can't kill two or more mobs at once: tough.
STV: How to bore people off the PvE servers
Shattered Halls: Trying to prove druids should be nerfed and fire mages are good at generating aggro.
Blade's edge: If you're a 68 druid, don't die here: it'll remind you how good flightform really is.

Blade's Edge Mountains - You want me to go kill some guy in a cave? Sounds simple enough. Oh, here's the cave, let's find this guy and kill him. *smack, crash* Ow! Hey, leave me alone! *die* Ugh, well now I gotta run back to my corpse, should be okay 'cause Ruaan is close by... * 5 seconds later* WHAT?! I have to run from Thunderlord? WTF IS THIS! *alt + f4*
