So far on beta I've got that feeling back - it's fantastic, so many
things hdden away in little corners that my levelling speed is now
ridiculously slow, because I keep wandering off to explore, haven't
felt like this since vanilla really. Massive hit with me so far, we'll
see if it remains that good after a while at max level, but certainly
having flying off until 6.1 will be fine by me, it's extremely fun at
present.

I only have 4 non-ironman 90s, used to have way more alts but oP
actually gace enough endgame stuff outside raids for me to focus on my
main more than usual!

I suspect most casual players only level 1-2, exteme completism and
casual tend not to be compataible ;-) I call myself casual, but it's
more "don't raid/pvp", since I put a very non-casual amount of time
into WoW. I just do the stuff that isn't primarily populated by the
"hardcore" players!
