For some people, that'll help a lot, for me, less so. I do LFR a bit,
sure, but that's a small proportion of my WoW time. The things I enjoy
most: factions - completely gutted, not even a hint of a storyline
behind any of them, just mindless grinding; professions, ruined, have
to wait for immense cds before you can craft anything at all, things I
used to make and sell have no value due to oversupply; dailies (kinda
come under factions) - gone, aside fromm one which takes hardly ay
time at all and has no real purpose behind it. Pet battles and
archaeology remain, but those are not and never have been the majority
of my gameplay, you can have too much of both of those!

For me, the benefits are great; I'm wearing three items I got from
missions, and I don't even have the high-end missions yet, I got a 645
staff on beta! But then I don't like dungeons at all and my LFR is
limited, so getting gear from missions is great fun to me. Also like
the odd times where you get currency, the Apexis crystal reward was
cool, and I really want to get the Halaa battle token mission!

For me, it's about the only thing which is really interesting me at
present, so I certainly hope I don't lose interest anytime soon.
Working on the achievements whould help em there, at least, will be
stuff to do for a while yet on that front.
