There are several reasons people disliked Stranglethorn Vale in vanilla WoW. I could go into detail about the confusion that The Green Hills of Stranglethorn presents to new players. I could tell you about the lack of coherent direction in questing. I could harp on the horrors of the multiple quests with low drop rates. I could spend an entire article just talking about the amount of running around you have to do.
Alternatively, I could just tell you that it’s all fixed in Cataclysm — all of it. The usual caveats apply: this is spoiler-heavy, some stuff is incomplete and it’s from an Alliance perspective.
The first thing you should know, if you don’t already, is that Stranglethorn Vale has been split in two by a gigantic whirlpool, dividing it into Northern Stranglethorn and the Cape of Stranglethorn.
