There are several reasons people disliked Stranglethorn Vale in vanilla WoW<\/em>. I could go into detail about the confusion that The Green Hills of Stranglethorn<\/a> 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<\/em> you have to do.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, I could just tell you that it’s all fixed in Cataclysm<\/em> — all of it<\/em>. The usual caveats apply: this is spoiler-heavy, some stuff is incomplete and it’s from an Alliance perspective.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
