I can see the grindfest will stop within 2-4 months depending on each 
player's situation and progress.  Raiders will get gear so they dont 
have to grind apexis for 655 gear anymore.  Followers are geared up etc.
After the initial garrison phase where you build and level up your plots 
your mats and resources will explode in your bags once your have more 
than 1 lvl 100 char (thats what is happening here with 3 100s).
The follower/mission aspect is fun.  But it reminds me too much of those 
games you can play and facebook and/or your phone (farmville etc.).  If 
you want progress and level and gear up your followers you have to check 
the game all the time.

I also miss the main city where I see other players.  I *can* move my 
arse to Stormshield (ally), but I spend most of my time in the garrison. 
  So I feel a bit alone.  The /trade chat is shown when youre in the 
garrison.  but its still not fun.


Luckily Blizzard has hotfixed the hc dungeon quests acquired from the 
Inn so peeps cant leave and hand in their quests anymore without also 
killing the _last_ boss.  Many players still havent found out that and 
yesterday I was in 4 or 5 dungeons where players just left after they 
completed a hc quest.
Seeing tank and 1-2 other players leaving a group after we had killed 
the bonus boss (a part of a heroic quest) in Everbloom was annoying as 
this can be a pug breaker == waste of time.
