Without revealing anything...if you can. Can someone tell me why people are bashing the starting zone/quests for the worgen. 

Does it have something to do with Twilight references?

I think it just dosen't compare favrobly to the new Goblin zone.  There's been a lot of Alliance-Horde fighting over who's getting the coolest stuff for the X-pack.   It's hard to be Thrall and the shipwreck stuff.
 
I've heard more complaints about the Gnome-Troll situation as well.
 
I could be wrong though.  Haven't been following this religiously.

hmmm ., Ill have ot look into it some more ..I just really been looking forward to the story of the Worgen and don't want to be disappointed

I've heard that the goblin zone is just for random doofy fun crap, and worgen is more combat-based (and therefore repetitive) but also with more story. 
 
EDIT: In other words, different cups of tea.

As has been said the Worgen and Goblin starting zones are polar opposites. The Goblin areas have astro-turf football fields, slapstick comedy and things exploding all over the place. The Worgen zone is about a nation being infected with basically the werewolf curse, slipping into a civil war, and then being invaded by the Forsaken. 
 
Personally I can't wait to fire up a Worgen main. The whole Victorian-era British werewolves scratches an itch.

It more likely than not stems from the fact that the entire Worgen starting zone is very linear comparatively to the Goblin starting zone, which is more akin to the free-form questing style of WoW for the most part. The thing most people aren't getting though, I think, is that the Worgen starting zone is so linear cause it tells one of the better quest storylines in the entire game to date. I obviously won't get into it, but I felt that the linearity of that zone was necessary for what it was trying to show me. People are also probably miffed that the Worgen don't get a "new" 10-20 zone, nor a capitol city to call home (For now at least). Though, the latter wouldn't really fit with the entire Worgen storyline so it's probably for the better that they don't have a capitol city right now.

From what I am hearing, Worgen are buggy and have bad animations as well as a more uninteresting starting zone. I personally would've preferred them over goblins even with the bad animation idea because Lore is more important to me anyway.

it seems very focused towards telling a story that is angst-y and dark. i have no idea if that's why people hate it, but i think it looks lame as hell. that's pretty much what i think of the worgen as a race as well. /spit

I watched TotalBiscuit play through most of the Worgan starting zone and it looks much more interesting than the Goblin starting zone. It does seem too have lots of scripted/phased events and doesn't really let you roam around for the quests like you can with the Goblins on their two islands.  
 
If you enjoy lore, scripted events and phasing then it would seem that the Worgan are for you. 

I haven't played it since mid-beta but I thought Gilneas was great. I thought the atmosphere in the zone was amazing and their Victorian style made them really stand out from the other humans in the game. The only things I didn't like were: 

1. Gilneas City is not a usable capital
2. You need to go through the quests in Silverpine as a hoardie to get the full story.

Nerds are going to be checking their fucking palms for hairs when their done with this. 
 
Queers.
