History TheScrappy / WorldOfWarcraft

* Mizzen, the Warcraft Rumble Fanatic, is quickly becoming an example due to her incessant letters being sent to every player's character's mailboxes every day. What was initially meant to be a tie-in to the Warcraft Rumble game ended up becoming a repetitive glitch as her letters contain a quest item that becomes useless the moment its respective quest is completed, never mind about the players who don't care about said promotion whatsoever.

* Zovaal The Jailer, the BigBad of ''Shadowlands'' is considered by many to be one of the worst villains in the entire franchise, if not ''the'' worst, due to a lot of factors. For one, ''Shadowlands'' strongly hints that he was behind every single major tragedy in the franchise despite little to no buildup beforehand. Secondly, he is seen as a extremely one-note"take-over-the-cosmos" character whose characterization as a cosmic mastermind came at odds with his flat ingame portrayal; some players actually supported a ManBehindTheMan storyline, but they believe Denathrius would have made a better antagonist in that regard due to his more layered characterization and links with the Dreadlords. Blizzard's attempts to expand on the character's motivations in 9.2 did nothing to make the character more palatable for the playerbase. This is because all Blizzard did was establish the character as fighting to prevent a greater catastrophe from befalling the cosmos....despite not elaborating what that coming threat was or make the revelation mesh properly with the characterization of Zovaal beforehand.

* The new version of Nathanos Blightcaller, who's been revamped into a [[{{Jerkass}} rude]], [[SmugSnake smug]] dark ranger in charge of Horde operations on Stormheim in ''Legion'' and on Zandalar and Kul Tiras in ''Battle for Azeroth''. Horde players hate him for having to endure his snark throughout questing and raiding, while Alliance players hate him for his [[JokerImmunity inexplicable ability to survive]] and even fight on roughly even terms (and for his [[IShallTauntYou snark]] too), against Alliance characters far stronger than himself, such as Tyrande and Malfurion ''at the same time'' (when either of them should be able to [[CurbStompbattle stomp him]], during a patch that was advertised as being "the night elves' vengeance for Teldrassil"). Many players cheered when, in the pre-''Shadowlands'' event, [[spoiler:he [[TakeThatScrappy is killed]] by the players and Tyrande at the [[BookEnds Marris farm]]. He [[MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning hints at coming back in the Shadowlands]] in his final moments, but it's still satisfying to many.]]

* [[BigBad Zovaal The Jailer]], the BigBad of ''Shadowlands'' is considered by many to be one of the worst villains in the entire franchise, if not the worst, due to a lot of factors. For one, '"Shadowlands'' strongly hints that he was behind every single major tragedy in the franchise from the Burning Legion to the rise of the Lich King and the turn to villainy for Sylvanas Windrunner, with the latter two incidents being outright confirmed despite little to no buildup beforehand. This was seen to both have devalued the Lich King, the most popular villain in the franchise, from a major player to a simple a pawn of the Jailer, and to have given Sylvanas too much of a GetOutOfJailFreeCard for her actions.

* [[BigBad The Jailer]] from ''Shadowlands'' is considered by many to be one of the worst villains due to a lot of factors. He comes across as too powerful in some cases, and his power [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe seems to vary depending on what the plot requires.]] He's also supposedly been manipulating Sylvanas since the Edge of Night incident, but hasn't had any foreshadowing, so he seemingly just [[DiabolusExMachina comes out of left-field.]] Finally, people often complain that he [[GenericDoomsdayVillain doesn't have much characterization apart from being the villain,]] although the ''Sylvanas'' novel tries to fix this somewhat.
