This week on All Things Warcraft we’re going to do something a little different: with recent access to the Warlords of Draenor alpha I am going to write about what I see and find as it happens. Be warned: minor spoilers ahead! Let’s log in!

cant wait.
i want that mount.... but not paying $30 for it. you should be able to "earn" it some how, imo.
Currently Playing: ESO and FFXIV
Have played: You name it
If you mention rose tinted glasses, you better be referring to Mitch Hedberg.
you can by getting a job or earning money to spend 30 bucks on it... you got to do something to get something.
Well, as usual, since hearing about WoD expansion, I have to say too little too late. I like the features they are adding and the graphical upgrade(such a long time coming). All this should have been done in MoP though or even Cata.
Too many better options available now.
I pre-ordered cant wait ! now to find a guild that uses voice and get back into wow before it comes out so im not rusty , lol
Some lead and some follow I prefer to stand beside!
Isn't there a sub-fee that is paid already?
i just can't with this game. all that garish bright colors and glowy bullschmit.
it was great back in the day. but you can only put fresh lipstick on that gear treadmill so many times.
I agree, I just can't. I played beta. Played when you had to lvl 40 to get a mount that cost 200gold. Now it is so easy that a 6yr old could play. I quit because it was a constant grind for something. Gear, Achievements, and Dailys. This game was great once. Whine and cry all you want. But try and deny the want and need of a good guild that had a RAID schedule. When I finally got all my tier 1 gear that took a year to get was my happiest day of my gaming life. Now you can get PVP gear by grinding so called honor points ( just for showing up) or Timeless Isle handouts. This game went to H*ll when Activision got involved. Yeah I remember what a pain it was to get groups for dungeons. Only way to raid was getting in line to LEARN the Dungeon and LEARN how to play your toon. But I would rather pay to play Vanilla WoW than play Present day WoW.
I tired to hang on with Panda expansion. Pokemon pet battles, Timeless Isle. Now it is all crap.
Yes, I too miss the old vanilla challenge and difficulty, these days you show up to a 85 dungeon for the first time and its rediculously easy (normal mode) without even trying or you wipe once on a heroic dungeon and everyone starts cussing/arguing and people leave.
Whatever happened to death being a part of heroic content? Now you go to a heroic zone and everyone expects a quick painless zerg run, even if players have never been to the zone before.
Some monsters do actually still hurt, but now the problem is the gear is op and everyone expects everything to be easy mode. I miss the challenge of certain zones and older content, when we could all have fun wiping together, and it was expected to die multiple times throughout the course of a dungeon.
Especially , given that there is almost no death penalty on WoW other than a repair bill and a few minutes of your time, why exactly are people so scared of death anyway? The game is rediculously easy now.
You get honor point gear for free, but you still have to earn Conquest gear, however that still can be bought with gold for arena carries. You get gear given to you for free on timeless isle, but that gear does pretty much suck compared to the raid gear you still should bother attaining, yet that is just more grinding to replace gear with more gear over and over.
Now, good luck finding a group that is willing to take on a challenge, most players have to be overgeared for a zone to get on raids, and you have to be able to find multiple replacements for almost everything you do. Since, people will either leave on a wipe, leave after every boss kill, or just plain leave during a fight for no reason.
Anyway, I was doing old 85 dungeons and I miss the challenge that they should have kept from Cataclysm, now they made Mists of Pandaria dungeons way to easy, and they never even made more of them or scenarios. I always hoped in the two years waiting on this expansion , that they would have at least given us new heroic scenario/dungeons, we all pay subs, and yet they can't create any content.
That boring Isle of Timeless Grinding, was now the challenging content that some of us had desired, although yes there are Challenge Modes, however, they still could have given more zones... I loved Scenarios, are we going to get a lot more? Or will they always be stingy on the content?
hmmmm... aren't you the one crying and whining here?
or maybe i don't get it *G*
