I suppose pressing a buff button once an hour wasn't exactly
compelling gameplay... :-P I do miss the buffs though and don't really
understand the removal. The other abilities, well, they said they
wanted specs to feel more distinct and I guess they succeeded, but
some work for me better than others. Luckily I really enjoy both specs
I play on my main, and so far have no issue with the one alt I've
started to lvl, some other classes I was less sure about with the
limited playing I did during 7.0, but we'll see...

Heh, I have a problem with forced dungeons, so I guess we're even :-)
Questing isn't that bad, healers are supposed to be less weak than
usual (can't speak for other classes but Disc is really *strong*,
while Holy is far less weak than it was in past expansions), and as
you can get all offspec artifacts by lvl 102 that is also an option if
you like other specs. I won't be one of those people who says "just
use your dps spec" though because I hate  it when people say that to
me; I can understand if you have the same feeling as me on that!

Depends how you define "grind" - world quests give several hundred per
quest, and treasures and rares you find while questing (plus some
major questline quests) normally give a few, too, enough to develop a
fair stock on the way up, while the world quests are a very fast way
to restock. If you *only* want to dungeon, some WQs are in dungeons,
too!

I'm constantly sitting on 20k plus of the things, even with spending
10k on research the other day I can't spend them faster than I gather
them at present; granted I do a lot of world quests but I don't
specifically target the order resource ones; I actually tend to aim
for the gear and artifact power ones more and only do resource ones if
I'm passing through an areas anyway and fancy some easy rep, so it
doesn't seem any hardship to get that. I think it'll only seem a
"grind" if you plan to leave characters inactive doing nothing but
missions, like with the old garrison. That's not the intent with
Legion; *we're* supposed to be the ones playing, not our followers ;-)
