I mostly like it, would prefer not having to do dungeons for early
recipes though, like my alchemist only had about 3 recipes before
being faced with a dungeon quest, that's a bit far for my taste :-P I
also wasn't happy with the recipes in the mythic-only dungeons, but
those dungeons will have heroic versions in 7.2, hopefully containing
my recipes, so I can live with that!

Oh, skilling up is nasty, I do have mining maxed but JC was so
painful, had to craft yellow items worth about 12k of mats (that sell
for about 4k, if they sell at all) to get from 780-790, at which point
it went green and I gave up - Darkmoon Faire got me to 795 and I'll do
800 next month! 

And cooking, erm... 780 and *everything* is grey. Including a lot of 3
star recipes, not sure which will be the magic one that actually is
not grey, but I haven't discovered it yet, despite Nomi burning
maximum amounts of food every day (and me regularly switching up what
types of food I give him). Well, it beats getting everything on a
plate right at the start, but I did think that 2 months in I should be
getting somewhere near... :-P

>World quests! <3

Love them :-D Although the amount of time I spend on them does mean I
have less time for everything else, they're even more addictive than

I've mostly got used to that, I do miss having an interrupt though...
and an aoe with less than 15 sec cd :-P Otherwise I love my priest,
and druid is more too complex for me than too simplified, I've
accepted I'm just not going to be very good at him, but he's fine for
soloing anyway :-)

Hehe, I do like the scaling overall though, being able to do stuff at
max lvl across the whole continent is fantastic, there's so much to do
and see, and it all feels relevant, it's the scaling that makes world
quests work out so well, as it gives so many more areas for them. And
not having to care what lvl your friends are to group together is
great - now, if only they'd let me group with my friends on the other
faction... (they just said at Blizzcon that they won't, grrr :-( )

Prices are insane at present, it seems a lot of people who made tons
farming the garrison are willing to spend silly money now, I'm
certainly not complaining. Think I'm 600k richer than I was at Legion
launch... prices have come down a bit lately but still, pretty much
anything sells for a lot, especially trade goods and consumables.

I so agree! Don't object to flying coming back eventually, but I'm
very glad to be experiencing it this way first; Suramar would feel
like nothing if you could just fly over it all. Now, that's not to say
I won't mind the convenience when it IS added, but right now I'm happy
:-) 

>Damn good expansion!  9/10 stars.

About sums up my feelings, it's done a great job so far, long may it
continue! I keep realising there's so much stuff I want to do that I
haven't got round to, as well; like 10 classes' class campaigns rofl,
and seeing the demon hunter starting zone... and I want to lvl my
gnome hunter up, want to do some more dungeons (although I'm having a
TON of fun duoing some on normal with my bf now, far better way of
exploring than zooming through attempting to keep up with a pug and
not really having much idea what's going on :-)), maybe a bit of
pvp... oh and I've been forgetting to do my baby falcosaur dailies,
yeah, tons to do :-)

Oh yeah and another thing I love which mention of Suramar reminded me
of: the voice acting. "An illusion! What are you hiding?" etc is
brilliantly done, the males in particular sound perfect, and you hear
it often enough to know it well hehe. The harpies are fantastic too -
yes, they're very annoying and painful, but that's what a harpy is
*supposed* to sound like. And the quest dialogs are mostly excellent
(except that female tauren in Highmountain...), really bring it to
life more; I find myself missing it when I do older content now.
Wonder if the voicing is why more people are liking the story this
time out; certainly brings it to life far more, I've found myself
interested in a lot of the characters as a result.
