WOW Beta was still very much beta when I entered it (9 months before launch). They still had stat allocation per level, items didn't have nearly the over-abundance of stats that they do now, and classes like Warriors were the first and only ones to have talent trees. So people cried NERF the warrior before their class even got talents!!! Due to that reason alone, the warrior's innovation was shit on before everything else was even ready to go.

Then suddenly, the game went from character-centric to item-centric, warriors were nerfed several times before other classes even got their talents....what a fucking joke all that was. I should have quit the game right then and there - especially due to the itemcentric sell-out bullshit.
