I'm with Thunderblade. Wow's interface from game launch was the better one I thought.

Yet of course as a true testament to the online community the player made mods for the UI were superior bar none. Which I think might be both a blessing and a curse.

It was good that the community could was able to come up with the ability to customize the UI in whatever way a player could want. However it created some problems when it could automate abilities that the devs didn't think of.

Heal bot priests, auto targeting of totems, auto scanning-targeting and cleansing of debuffs with just one keystroke. It got to a point where if you wanted to do any effective PvP you HAD to have this mod or that and when mods were created to counter other mods...Well it was just too much.

Tho I fault poor game design for that then anything else.
