Cons

Too easy for Hardcore WoW-ers.

A tiny feeling of "been here, done this, got the epic loot".
Overall lesser difficulty will annoy hardcore players.
Two expansions in, and we still cant roll murlocs.
Some character and item models are recycled.
No content for new players.
Death Knights feel a bit overpowered at the moment.
Vehicle mechanics feel a little haphazard.
Buggy ingame chat system.
Unbalanced Death Knight character.
