I like the thought of the Garrison stuff, but I am a little OCD and have to finish MoP before I can face WoD, but I can't face MoP :-/.
I levelled my newest main from 1-85 when Cata launched, to experience the redesigned world in full. It wasn't that bad but I did miss a great many things that were lost, and still do. I didn't like not having Southshore at all, and the redesigned Darkshore wasn't for me. It's just MoP...I can't put my fingers on why but I just can't get into it. I wasn't keen on WotLK end game stuff, but didn't mind the levelling and quests.
I've created so many new toons to level over the past few weeks and it's just so unfulfilling and unrewarding. I swear, you can do 1/3 of the starting zone quests, pick a few herbs and everything will be grey to you and 2-shotable in no time. With heirlooms, there's no point even having DoTs because you 1 shot everything.
I have mild...or severe depending on your view, OCD and I HAVE to collect everything. If I take any time off from WoW, I always feel lost when I return and like there's too much to go back and find and do. I preferred the old days, when there was less to find and do, but it was more challenging and harder to find or get. Achievements and account-wide items are another gripe. I actually don't mind the grinds as much. I'd rather work hard for a Winterspring Sabre, than have the Horde version and, when I roll and Alliance toon, find that I got the counterpart for free.
Be careful with that OCD stuff. I speak from personal experience when I say it will get out of hand and ruin your life. Go see a psychiatrist or something if you feel it's impacting your life too much.
Sorry for that, but I've been through that shit and it wasn't fun. Thankfully I'm better now
as I want to play for the quests, the zone environments and lore etc., in its pre-Cata state. I might, therefore, have to roll on the PvP server...for now. I hate and suck at PvP. Is it still a gank-fest of 60s killing people half their level in STV? Are the lower level, contested areas usually safe nowadays or are they still camped regularly. I just want somewhere to level and relive the old zone, quests, lore and so on, in peace. Thank you for your time.
...I have no fingernails left though now
