I can't completely hate this place because it's where I leveled after leaving Teldrassil but I hate it for 3 main reasons. It introduced me to murlocs,threshers,and of course the long walks from one end to the other. A good point, though, is the lovely blue birdie that hunter's can tame here as well as the ghost saber of course.
Nostalgia aside (back when WoW was first released I played a Night Elf and remember loving this zone and how you felt like you were lost in a real forest), I don't understand why Darkshore has such a bad rep. The quests aren't great, true, but the look and feel of the zone itself usually lures me there.
