Ditto, I'm not social enough to want to deal with finding a pug, or
with the group finder so mythics are totally off my radar. hence my
happiness about the mythic-only dungeons being due to get heroic
versions in 7.2; it seems by comments on various websites that we're
not alone in not doing mythics, good to see Blizz realising that and
letting us see the content this expansion, rather than when we can
solo it in a couple of years!

Likewise, I run the censusplus addon on my server and peaktime
population is at levels only seen during week 1 of WoD (it dropped
pretty soon), so an alltime high, plus I keep seeing familiar names
from the early days around (and on such a high pop server it's REALLY
unusual to pick out any recognisable names from the crowd, you
normally never see the same person twice) Heck, I'm even seeing
Alliance players out in the world, I kinda thought we had no alliance
left, but they've reappeared!

Hehe yep, I did a few weeks of doing every (except the crazy elite
part of town) WQ in Suramar, which sorted that rep grind out fairly
easily, especially with the withered army training, which I wanted to
do anyway for chances of toys and mount (I'm still doing it now even
after exalted). Other factions I mostly left to look after themselves,
and I'm exalted with all but one now.

Ok, I like repgrinds better than you do, but given there's plenty
reasons to do the world quests anyway, they'll all get there over
time, even if you just do the gear and highest artifact power rewards
while ignoring everything else. Nice to have them rewarding enough
that everyone has reason to do them eventually.
