I am a completionist and could have stayed with the game the way it was 
for a couple more months. Some stuff I haven't done at all like some 
dungeons and leveling any battle pets past level 10. There is always the 
runs for rare mounts and pets I don't have yet. Still I did the 
legendary quest line on two toons. I have 9 90s and would have had them 
all up to minimum 551 gear on all in a couple weeks. Those activities 
were getting a bit old.

So now w have patch 6 and the expac just around the corner. The biggest 
headache was getting WoW to work at all. Blizz had been warning me for 
about a year that my OS would stop being supported at some point. Patch 
6 was that point. I hoped it would be the xpac. So I download the newer 
OS and install it on an external drive and then move WoW and find out 
the external drive is too small. Swap in a larger drive and rinse and 
repeat. Now the Blizz updater is flaky. It still is stuck at 9 megs to 
download but has gotten to a part of the upgrade where it is "playable." 
Now when I am done I ca't get it to quit. It hangs every time so I have 
to force quit. And I am not ready to upgrade my real life productivity 
software so I have to reboot depending on whether I want to play WoW or 
be productive

Anyway, in game has some nice touches.I like the crafting reagants tab 
for 100 gold. All my gathers and most of my crafters now have oodles of 
empty slots in the regular bank bags and a bit more on the toon bags.The 
only exception is my 2 engineers.I freed up a bank bag each by moving 
stuff from the Engineering bag to the crafting tab but each still has 
very limited space on the toon bag by trying to carry the stuff that I 
might use but hardly ever do.

Other changes noted:
TOL BARAD: I did this weekly on each 90 for the victory quest bonus 
honor. Most of my toons are maxed at 4000 honor and are taking a break 
but the only way to queue for Tol Barad I can now find is to cross the 
bridge. I have to zone in just to find how much time there is until it 
starts
TROVES OF THE THUNDER KING: I liked this on my first 5 or so toons. It 
was getting tedious doing the quest line to qualify but the weekly gold 
was nice and it was the best way to replace the gold pieces needed to 
roll on extra loot in the early dungeons. It is now out of the game.
GRIZZLY HILLS PVP: It took longer to get there than it did for my 90s to 
do the 4 quests. Minimum 50 honor each but more with guild bonuses and 
if I used the banner. A nice way to boost honor, especially when I was 
working to upgrade a PVP weapon that needed 7000 or so earned just to be 
able to buy it. The quests are still there but no honor now.


Overall it seems more tedious than fun but I will stick with it awhile.
