Professions!  I love how we have to get upgrades, new 
recipes/patterns/etc.  It's vanilla style!  Tonight my herber had to 
kill Cenarius in EN for the third upgrade for the felwort skill. :)

Maxing out profs is difficult now.  My enchanter is stuck somewhere 
around 750 or 760 due to lack of upgrades (lvl 3 recipes which only 
drops from WQs which seems to not appear anymore with 7.1?).  My herber 
is stuck at 796 and I have farmed more than 5 stacks of herbs at that 
level tonight.  Not a single point.

World quests! <3

No more fancy spell abilities.  I'm playing 4 chars atm.  3 110s and a 
single 106.  Arcane mage, Boomkin, resto/ele shaman and shadow priest. 
Rotations are still important, but the spellbook has become less crowded 
with fancy spells and abilities.  I actually like that despite I miss 
Alter Time on my mage. :)

No more strict path to level.  Pick your zone.  I also really like the 
scaling alignment dpswise which works almost flawlessly.  Oh well. 
Bring your ilvl 870+ char into a normal dungeon and you can get clearly 
outdpsed by a fresh lvl 102 char and demon hunters still does crazy 
damage until they hit 110.  The scaling is not 100% perfect. :)

I'm not sure what kind of weed peeps smoke today.  Yesterday I posted a 
sackful of nearly useless pots and items, a few herbs and ore and other 
oddities on AH and I made 15k gold.  And I'm not even near the AH game 
like I was 2-4 years ago.  30-40 mins of work in suramar and I can make 
3-5k gold on AH just from raw mats.  so that 2m gold spider mount is not 
far away. :)  Gold is pretty much devaluated and is not a problem anymore.

Flying skill?  I dont need that (unless I herb and mine).  the lack of 
flying makes places like the city in Suramar much more fun and 
challenging.  You just cant fly in, kill that npc/miniboss and fly away 
again.  you have to get past loads of guards and detectors if you want 
to do that WQ!  Me like!  Its almost like a good ol' first person shooter!
I still stumble upon new well-hidden paths that leads to some small 
surprises here and there.  Small caves everywhere.  Details, details, 
details...  and even MOAR details!

This is the first expansion where I actually find interest in the 
storyline.  That's an achievement for Blizzard!

You werent home yesterday?  You still can do the yesterday's daily 
faction quests so you dont feel youre getting behind.

Many aspects of the expansion feels like vanilla with an updated twist imho.

Et cetera.

Damn good expansion!  9/10 stars.
