Love it so far; I've reached the stage where I started to feel the
boredom in WoD, finished main questlines etc... but I keep opening new
quests up with new bits of story to tell. World quests are a lot more
interesting in both content and rewards than "fill the bar for a
currency that buys junk"; Suramar is so full of detail that I'm still
happily exploring it and discovering new things all the time, as
indeed I'm doing in every other zone, theyre so full of hidden things
to find. 

Class storylines mean I've already started on an alt to see another
chain, even dungeons have been decent so far, in that I'm yet to
encounter a group that's made me quit them for the next year or so, as
usually happens within the first 4-5 runs I attempt :-P Granted I've
only tried a few due to connection problems (a healer who fails to
zone in would not be too popular since people tend to pull before
checking everyone's rpesent...) but I've certainly done more than I
usually manage.

A few annoying things, but so far they don't outweigh the good for me:
there's slightly too many quests that involve dungeons, and while I
can live with normal dungeons, I object to being asked to go to mythic
ones for main storyline quests (not even the side storyline for the
mythic-only dungeons in Suramar, but a major artifact-related one has
just sent me to Eye of Azshara mythic). Heroic is more than enough;
most the people who are into lore and story aren't the high-end
content types. 

Also I really dislike finding myself suddenly in a pvp zone when I am
on a pve server for a reason: the static ones are bad enough, but at
least you learn where those are; the ffa ones which move depending on
the world quests of the day really bug me, they don't even warn you on
entering them.
