I love how a majority of the people complaining joined, like, 2 days ago - most likely to enter into the contest.
Jealousy at it's finest.

It's a play on words "Worgen" = "Workin'" Haha? Right?
Agree,so lame wowhead you disappointed me alot :/
Retarded Staff ( in a professional meaning, not personal). Like the Tankspot staff, they should quit also making videos, especially Lore who sucks very bad. They must took example from Totalbiscuit and Jesse Cox how to do a video preview of a game. Incompetent staff, that's all what I ca say.

Aspect of the Earth/Wreathed in vast molten flame/The dragon Deathwing
I posted that about 10 mins ago i think thats pretty good anyone agree?
Wreathed is one syllable c.c, that's 5/6/5
I submitted a bunch, one of them was this which I really liked:
The Brood Mother / To Fall Twice And Still Return / Ultimate Mommy
what do you think?

Loved the worgen joke but had to vote for trilian77. It just is so true and you can't argue with truth :)

Then it fits the syllables :3 and I like where you were going with it. I also submitted one similar to that too:
Neltharion, Black / The Earth-Warder, Protector / Deathwing, Destroyer

The amount of whinging in this thread is truly epic.
Neither you nor your haiku is special; if you weren't picked, it's not because of some grand insidious random number generator that is out to get you or because the staff have bad taste, it's because your entry
did not cut it
.
Now dry your eyes and grow a pear (yes a pear).

Any and all complaining aside, as an observation, many of these are indeed not haiku. Regardless of their mood or use of terms, many of these stray from too many of the characteristics of a haiku to honestly be considered one.
Now, am I saying that these people shouldn't get a beta key? No. People like them, and so I think they deserve them as much as anyone. However, I don't think wowhead should continue to call this a haiku contest. Just my 2 cents.The people entering this contest are gamers not poets. If the staff were to be strict on the true characteristics of a haiku, they'd prevent a large proportion of users from having a chance of winning because of an irrelevant disadvantage, whilst greatly advantaging the far smaller group of players with chance previous exposure to the haiku form. That would be very unfair and very illogical.
