Same thing that makes the Replicators of SG fame so annoying: There are millions of them and they keep repopulating, almost as if it is in thier very base code to do so.
Then again, they are quite funny. Like our logo up there. I like Murr'lin

Because no matter when/where/how you try to kill one, there is ALWAYS more than 1 other that wants to join the party.

Murlocs ARE awful, I have to admit. I'd thought them more like frogs with teeth than fish..... I also really dislike Defias and Gnolls, particularly Gnolls. Both Gnolls and Murlocs have a very irritating sound when charging you, especially that whickering noise the Gnolls make. And how the heck does a Defias manage to convey something like 'Ah, a chance to use this freshly sharpened weapon' in one single shout? Shorthand, I suppose....

OMG!!! I now officially hate this election season it has colored everything for me!!!!11111oneonetwo. I read Kalos' statement above and got all pissed about him making a lame comment about republicans of South Georgia. I need to pull back from watching the candidates for a while and just play more WoW, it's better for your soul.
I think people hate murlocs because they are one of the first "swarmers" people face in the early starter areas and if you aren't careful they will be your first corpse run too. Until you get your first "We need to teach the murlocs a lesson" or "control the murloc population" you face mostly single wandering type monsters. Murlocs tend to be more tightly clustered. Also the starter murloc villages in Tirisfal and the BE starting area have roaming "bosses" (not sure about the other early murloc villages). Combine those facts and the fact that they usually drop unapealling loot (fish oil???) and you'll find murlocs scar many new players.
PS
Even though I'm more on the conservative side of the political spectrum I do have a sense of humor and can laugh at republicans as much as democrats, but Kalos's "political" comment was just stupid
