I don't mind stock areas, I know that a lot of muds use them to start out. What bothers me more is what Crystal said, many are poorly done and not in any particular theme.
I think the theme gets to me the most. I have a hard time with muds that want a midieval fantasy (which is common anymore) setting that's pretty strict rp, and there's smurfs or modern things running around that have been left over from stock areas.
