Content-wise, there are very few glitches or known exploits. There's the constant class balancing, but it looks like that's unavoidable in this genre. The warlock, for example, could at one time channel health from a target without being interrupted by an attack. Then they removed that. Then they put a hybrid system in. The paladin used to be able to cast powerful "seals" on himself (temporary ability boosts) in addition to "auras" that act as permanent spells, like a ward. Then some popular seals were changed to auras, which isn't so fun since you can only have one aura active at a time. There were also some bugs with the Hunter pet, and full-screen bloom has been (in my opinion) oddly controversial. All in all, though, the level of complaint and general yelling is relatively quiet on the message boards. It seems like too many people are just playing and having fun to join in the rancor so common to other MMOs.
