[ warning: ramble ahead ]

Yeah, there are many gates in the chain, most of which are closed by my 
play style.
I don't expect blizzard to do much to suit me, maybe there are a few 
million but it is almost all about the ~8 million regular payers.

   Finding things to do isn't a problem, choice is.

  I come back and move through old content, it is much like wandering 
through an old movie set, tattered facades with tumbleweeds blowing 
through it.  I don't mind that , feels like home :-)

I have 5 90s with a sixth working towards the wod prof upgrade at 60. 
Maxed profs on all, ~500 ilvl on most, one at 525-ish, one or two 450 
items can drag the average down a lot .
  I could do 5 or 6 things on each generally , plus another 3 or 4 
particular things like prof recipes, prof dailies.
  50 things to do, each with travel times and other time gates.
  Some things have changed and I don't commit a lot to memory about wow. 
I notice that there really isn't much direction to tie things together 
in-game or make decision any easier. After a week of running with 20 
wowhead pages on one monitor and wow on the other I catch up.
If you are immersed I suppose things remain familiar and choice is 
easier  but I am pretty much just pressing buttons at random.
[and I repeat, I don't expect the game to do much about that just for me ]

  In a few months what I have will see me through to 92-93, some to 95, 
then for a very short time I may be on a par with most gear.
  If I chose to grind a cape on one it would see me through to 100 but 
that brings up another point.
I like going into immersion, this bit of pixellated bling is important 
for a short time and a nice jolt of brain juice when I get it.
If you are kitted up to 97-100 wouldn't the earlier parts of the 
expansion be a bit of a cakewalk/grind with little reward and detract 
from the wonders of the much anticipated new expansion?


woops, another morning ramble without enough coffee,  just displacement 
activity putting off shovelling :-)
