At the beginning this was sorta of written off as sour grapes, but the claims started gaining steam really quick. What was written off was actually an opening of the flood gates.

What has followed is reports of terrible game design, a WoW-clone circa 2005 that adds nothing but voice acting to the original WoW model while not capitalizing on any WoW innovations from the expansions (such as area phasing)

I have not heard a favorable report about this game from outside of EA sources since that report by the EA employee.
Wow.. and with a massive $300 million budget. That is going to hurt really really bad if it fails as thoroughly as that report suggests.
