Well that's subjective. I've yet to find one of these patch zones that didn't look like shit I think. Timeless Isle back in Pandaria was okay I guess.
Again, isn't that every patched in zone that they do? They've been re-using assets and giving things a look of "oh that's the same." since at least Burning Crusade. We're still getting outraged about it? Would I like them to do better? Absolutely. Am I surprised and disappointed when they don't? Not after all these years. lol.
I guess if people are complaining about the way a zone LOOKS instead of the game play of said zone that's a pretty good indication that the zone is fun enough.

I liked Isle of Thunder too. Yes it was a swamp, but the ruins were cool, the lightning trees were cool, and it matched the theme and made sense.
*Bonus points for introducing the new Zandalari aesthetic*
Nazjatar remaining mostly ruins for 10k years does not make sense.
It's a pity it's not a true underwater zone. Imagine the design possibilities. (And yes, I enjoyed Vashj'ir).
I actually loved Vashj'ir. Idk why people hated it so much.
Mostly the combat. That's where most of the complaints came from. I personally loved the zone and found no issues with the combat.

Yeah you did have to do a bit of looking around if it was a ranged enemy but overall it wasn't that bad or as bad as people made it out to be.
It looks great and people are overcriticising it just because they are angry about the expansion as a whole and have spilled nothing but negativity about it for months.
Or maybe it's a place we wanted to see since Warcraft III: TFT and the end result didn't deliver.
Now I haven't been to the zone myself. But I have seen the pictures and read the comments both here and on reddit. The consensus is that Nazjatar is a bland zone with reused assets.
So its that Naga camp in Aszuna moved to just outside Suramar? I mean see what they are going for, but they didnt hit it. It needs to be a bit darker, with more watery areas, with pools and waterfalls, and eels coming out of coral holes.

You're okay with Tanaan Jungle which was a bunch of re-used assets and had a very same-y feel to other zones in the same expansion but Nazjatar is a problem because it's basically darker Azsuna??

As long as that good-for-nothing Ion is at the helm nothing is gonna to change.
