Now that I've finished the > stables dailies, I have (in Draenor, got plenty older content to do, > but, that's not WoD, is it...): I quite like garrisons but they weren't the game I hoped for. Very little feeling of player input, no real design freedom or sense of building something. I don't mind pointless grinding, it just seems there isn't even much point now, or it is behind too many gates. I just don't have the huge chunks of time, or the regular little bits of time, or the reactions , to play much of wow now. Lately I have booted up Dungeon Keeper original running on dos box, and a few other oldies. DK from 1997 and still more distracting than most of wow that I can play. Though limited playability more fun for a while. There is a recent app modelled after DK, it is rubbish. I have a few others, I just love builder/garrison games. I happily spend hours filling/revealing/obliterating all appropriate points on the maps, no rush since it will end eventually.
