Usually for me, it comes down to aesthetics. If a zone is ugly, I tend to avoid it. Same with the music. Though I believe the soundtrack is definitely one of the game’s strong points, not every track is a home run. My own least favorite zones are…
Vanilla - Stonetalon Mountains
BC - Blades Edge Mountains
WOTLK - Zul’Drak
Cata - Uldum
MoP - Karasang Wilds
WoD - Tanaan Jungle
Legion - Aszuna
BfA - Voldun
What are your least favorite zones in the game?
Anywhere that’s red and sandy
Draenei starting area is awful.
Warlords of Draenor. All of it.
Vanilla - Desolace
BC - Blades Edge mountains
WotLK - I don’t have a least favorite, I love them all!
Cata - I don’t have a least favorite, I love them all!
MoP - Dreadwastes
WoD - Gorgrond
Legion - The Broken shore
BfA - Stormsong Valley (Just because I found the questing not that enjoyable compared to the other BfA zones. The zone itself is beautiful!)
Kalimdor: Old Desolace. Silithus would compete but I didn’t really quest there much.
Eastern Kingdoms: Pre-Cataclysm Plaguelands, both of them. They nailed the atmosphere and aesthetics, but I have way too many bad memories of corpse dragging through there when I was new to the game.
Outland: Easy. Blade’s Edge Mountains. So much resurrection sickness.
Cataclysm: Twilight Highlands just didn’t do it for me.
Northrend: Hard to say. I liked them all.
Pandaria: Same as above.
Draenor: Northern Gorgrond.
Broken Isles: Broken Shore.
BFA: Nazmir and Drustvar respectively. Aesthetics were great and all for both of them, but both of these zones just felt like massive chores to me.
Vanilla - Felwood
BC - Shadowmoon or Blade’s Edge
WotLK - Dragonblight but Sholazaar just really felt like it didn’t fit.
Cata - Love the first subsection of Vashjir, hated the rest.
MoP - Dread Wastes
WoD - Talador maybe?
Legion - Broken Shore
BfA - Nazmir
Vanilla - Silithus
BC - Shadowmoon Valley
Wrath - Borean Tundra
Cata - Honestly, I really like all the zones. If I had to pick a least favorite, maybe Deepholm? I like the aesthetics, but the story doesn’t really grip me.
MoP - Townlong Steppes
WoD - Never played
Legion - haven’t played enough
BfA - Nazmir
Vanilla - Desolace
BC - Hellfire
Wrath - Zul’drak
Cata - Twilight highlands
Mist - Dread Waste
WOD - Talador
Legion - Aszuna
BFA - Nazmir
I had to think about a few of those But that is my list for what it is worth.
Vanilla - Silithus
BC - Silithus
Wrath - Silithus
Cata - Silithus
Mist - Silithus
WOD - Silithus
Legion - Silithus
BFA - Silithus, yes, even with the portal.
I don’t mind most zones, but I have some really weird disgust of underwater related stuff.
Octopi, sharks, jellyfish ew.
And fauna found there too.
So Vashj’ir if we’re strictly talking about zones. But any questing zone that takes me underwater gets my full hate.
Hellfire Peninsula hands down, not because I don’t like the questing or scenery but because I hate the max levels coming in and killing quest givers which I then have to wait 10-15 mins for them to respawn.
Borean tundra. Terrible
Stupid Druid-y zone in Legion that knocked you off the flying mount when you went over the part of the zone that is an outdoor instance…
Sorry forgetting the specific names but you know you hated it too.
I don’t have flying in Legion, you mean he Dreamgrove? The Druid Order Hall?
What about Trueshot Lodge in HM?
Silithus! I’m afraid of bugs… ![:fearful:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/fearful.png?v=6" ":fearful:")
All the people mentioning Wrath and not saying the Borean Tundra are liars.
WOD the whole thing.
BFA Horde side. All of it. From the nasty city that needs flight points, to the swamp to the desert. UGLEE
Vanilla- The Barrens
