Wow Gold -- The Biggest War in this game is installing it!

I recently played the trial version of this game and was totally impressed with graphics, sound and game play (though repetative at times). I purchased the regular version and sat through 6 hours (that's right 6) while the game installed. Then Blizzard's download manager began to download patches. Estimated time 9 hours (that's right 9). I called Blizzard and cancelled my account and threw the game in the trash. Pity that they just can't get it right!
