Nice, sounds like garrison's a good way to do this then. Kind of a
shame though, I liked where it was more about bothering with the
raids... doesn't seem much challenge this time, just another thing to
sit in the garrison and do.

I'll still do the LFR as I rarely bothered with it at the time so it's
not too old hat yet (and I still need Blackhand's music roll), but
yeah, not a big fan this expansion. They killed it for me; mechanics
mean nothing, drops are worse than garrison rewards/Tanaan gear,
what's the actual point in doing it any more? Bring back MoP LFR, I'd
far rather spend time wiping but enjoy learning the mechanics and get
rewards worthy of the effort than faceroll boring stuff for junk. 

Also I'd be a damn sight more likely to actually try group finder for
normal mode if LFR let me learn the mechanics - now in MoP I learned
how to do Durumu's maze, what to avoid, etc etc; in WoD I've learned
nothing whatsoever, since things that are flagged up as things to
avoid or beware of do like 10k dmg and everyone completely ignores
everything.

I've only even bothered with my main, not got the interest level to do
alts this expansion, and that's *really* worrying, when I normally
have between 5 and 10 max lvl alts each expansion; I only have 2 this
time and the 2nd one hasn't been to Tanaan. 690 ilvl on the main, and
got an upgrade stone in my bags waiting for a decent Baleful item to
upgrade. I haven't actually bothered with Tanaan much since hitting
exalted on 2 factions though, can't seem to find the interest. 

I really want to camp rares to clear up that achievement, but of the 4
I miss 1 never spawns and the others are deep in elite areas; I can't
kill more than one elite at a time, no CC and low dmg :-/ Also about
halfway to the 150k apexis crystal mount, I should get round to that
but kinda bored of "fill the bar" dailies... I so hope Legion gives us
better options for stuff to do at max lvl.

At least the weekend events are kinda interesting though, too many
dungeon events for my liking but this week's pet battles one is good,
got about 15 pets maxed out so far, and while I was farming the other
day, NPCScan went off for Gorok, didn't recognise the name at first
till realisation kicked in: mount rare! Ugly mount but hey, another
for the collection :-)
