Interesting.  I already have all the achs.  So just a little rep farming 
ahead. ^^

Same here :-)

I like the solution to the problem - I was quite happy with a little
time to explore the world on the ground, as I do agree with the devs
that it's better discovered there than up in the air... but after this
long on the ground, I look forward to flying again. I like making it a
reward for going out and exploring, works very well for me. Granted, I
suspect it won't placate the biggest whiners, who all seem to hate the
concept of exploring and immersion, but it's certainly a good solution
for those of us who didn't mind in the first place!

Not looking forward to competing with the whole population of Draenor
for repgrinding though, guess I'll be staying up late and doing it at
2am a lot... or maybe if I'm lucky the people who got bored won't all
return at once for 6.2, some hope!

I move 2 of my chars to Draenor one of the next days.  But I keep my 
lock on the low-pop DMF realm.  So I will do the rep grind on that char 
as the Draenor-flying skill will be account-wide. :)

Indeed, excellent post on the subject. But spending a great deal of
time in the casual pvp battle grounds I'm afraid I'll wait until this
fall when flying will *probably* be less grind intensive

Very wise move :-) I don't have a lvl 100 on Earthen Ring so have to
do the grind on Draenor, possibly there'll be fewer players than I'm
expecting, but I'm not too hopeful!

Welcome to Draenor when you get over here, hope it suits you well :-)
If you ever need help from a jewelcrafting priest, my main is Sagart,
admittedly I'm not playing him much right now but will be back on him
when 6.2 hits, no doubt.

Mostly, it's not too big a grind so far, you can likely start on doing
bits of it whenever you have a few spare minutes in preparation and
not have it take up that much time:

Loremaster: unless you only did pvp/dungeons while levelling, you'll
be a good way towards this, see what's missing and do a few minutes
here and there to finish up.

Explore Draenor: Should have most of this done already (especially if
you do loremaster), do the rest bit by bit while waiting on BG queues
:-)

Treasures: It seems to only be 100 treasures (there's well over 200
total), install HandyNotes addon and the Draenor Treasures plugin for
it, then they'll appear on the map - skip the awkward ones and jumping
puzzles, you'll easily make 100 from the simple to reach ones. Also
gives good garrison resources if needed, worth doing on an alt that's
struggling for resources, assuming the progress is accountwide.

Securing Draenor: This is the awkward one, MMO-C stats suggest only
3.7% of players have done it so far... so, any time you can spare half
an hour or so, check what the Apexis daily is and see if you've done
it yet, since it takes time to get the last few to spawn. If you start
now, then by the time this gets released you should be most of the way
there, even if you only do 1-2 a week :-)

Tanaan reputations... well, I don't know how grindy they are yet,
we'll see! It's only revered; if it's like Frostwolves who get revered
through questing, then great, or like Steamwheedle where you just run
around killing rares/looting treasure, fine... if it's more like
Laughing Skull where it's a 5 rep per mob grind right from neutral,
then urgh. We'll see... hopefully the message that people don't enjoy
meaningless grinds quite so much as in vanilla got through and the new
factions will be more interesting...

Ah, just realised you can just buy these in your garrison (the
garrison invasion NPC sells items that start those quests now) if they
won't spawn; if pushed for time I'd still just do the daily one for a
bit, and then start buying to fill in gaps on days when the daily is
one you've already done. Way less time commitment if you just do one
at a time instead of grinding out the lot :-)

Added.  I just moved my mage 1 hour ago.  When I would move my own guild 
I wasnt allowed due to the 7 day issue.  I'd totally forgot that before 
I promoted my shammy to GM a few hours before...  Oh well.  I luckily 
have a few stacks of the most important mats on my mage.

UI was more less cluttered in default state mode.  Had to load loads of 
profiles in all the addons etc.  And now a completely new garrison 
layout.  Argh!

The bonus seems to be 2 new followers...  I have to check that out 
tomorrow.  Bed calls. :)

Btw my mage's name is now Multiproc.

Ahh, unlucky on that one, sounds a complicated business! Welcome
aboard though, hope it suits you; as it is at present, it probably
will, but if population rises then you may see why I complain about it
at times! Right now it's fine, loads aren't playing, and those who are
live in their garrisons and not outside, so you can actually do
stuff... Tanaan may be a return to normal however. I just hope the
phasing tech applies to it effectively - being fair, once they added
that tech after WoD launch it was far more playable than it's ever
been on this server since about Wrath.

Ahh yes, factionchange hehe, it's a bit different in our garrison! A
lot colder too, and you'd better like orcs... ;-) Gotta say I FAR
prefer the alliance garrison, maybe I'm just burned out on orcs
though, and I was never big on their building styles, but yeah,
alliance garrison looks amazing compared with ours. Yes, I'm jealous -
need to lvl my ally alts sometime :-)

Cool, will add you when I'm next on - noticed your name was already in
use when I remembered about your transfer the other day and checked
armory to see if you'd moved - the belf mage I found then clearly
wasn't you! Must be a nightmare trying to get decent names on Draenor
these days, kinda glad my account is full now, as I suspect most names
are long since taken :-)
