Maye it will be 'fixed', it depends if they want to adopt the 'following 
yonder star' quest play on rails or leave it open.
In wow leaving for a few weeks/months/years it is still hard to know 
what this and that item is for in game.
The glowing quest items is *wonderful* but without wowhead it would be 
very difficult to pickup where you were. How long did it take for that 
to be fixed? :-)

Does it have repgrinds to X to get gear or do they have progression is 
smooth and determine discount?

What you have said does illustrate just how good wow is , a lot of 
people measure mmo in how similiar to wow it is :-)

I find new games are fun just *because * it is all new, the awe of 
discovery is a big part. Wow have very little of that now, simply 
because of repetition and familiarity. With each xpac it starts on a new 
level which is good but it also diminishes all the previous.
