What are the loudest community disagreements with Blizzards design implementations?

Mages always and hunters a majority of the time seem to have a spec that can do it all, while blizzard spouts out about how specs should have strengths and weaknesses

Prob the #1 loudest disagreement was the RealID=RealName fiasco. Given the level of harassment that goes on in their products - in online games and indeed the internet at large - it just isn't a good idea to freely hand out people's personal information to bullies and stalkers, and it was incredibly idiotic of them to think it was a good idea.

Otherwise - loud conflicts were -

- The Cataclysm healing / heroic dungeon debacle, in which healers were nerfed into the ground while dungeons were overtuned, and they didn't finally fix it until six months later with the 4.2 patch, when they had already lost millions of players after years of nothing but subscriber growth.

- the WotLK Zombie plague event. It was awesome, if you ask me... but plenty of other players hated it and raised holy hell. Enough that it made non-gaming news.

There have been plenty of smaller dramas over the years - among them, various changes to raid sizes. If you were a member of a highly functional, tight-knit, happy 40 man guild in Classic, for example, the Kara / Gruul / Mag tier was frankly a pretty rough time because you had to bench people and friendships were damaged and in some cases destroyed. There was a lot of anger at Blizz about that. There were other major disagreements about the other raid size changes over the years as well.
