Mists of Pandaria Thoughts

I've actually taken a break from MoP because I burned out in a very different way than I normally would. There's so much to do that I feel like it's too much for me to do. Normally I'd say it's a good thing but I've been overwhelmed with the sheer amount of content offered/required (dailies) that it doesn't fit into a casual player like me who doesn't have much time to play during the school semester.

The only problem I have with justice/gear is that there's so many ways to get it but only one way to use it. I wouldn't mind if they did the BC over again or turning Relics of Ulduar like we did in Wrath because then I could just farm rep in addition to dailies.

Eeeeh, I wanted more out of MoP. 5 levels won't cut it anymore. And that goddamn JC mount vendor item is too overpriced.

Gold is easier to make now then it ever was, Hell I've made upwards of 18k a day when I've actually tried. I usually get about 5k a day from 10-15 minutes work.

And where they put the JP/VP gear is pissing me off, I don't want to rep grind just for my gear.

Would you rather be able to just farm it all in one day and get bored of the game fast? The JP/VP vendors are in a good location and most of the time its faster to go to the quartermaster. Did you want to just sit around Org all day and have everything at arms length? Blizz wanted people to travel and experience the world they created.

They need more DGs and Raids, and they need to bring World PvP back.

They are adding more dungeons and raids. If you can't find World PvP doing dailies then your PvP server must be terribly low populated and if your on a PvE server then don't admit to it or you might look a bit silly.

Game is ok, PvP is broke, Hopefully by the time I have my chars at 90 it'll be somewhat balanced.

Avalith; Whenever I try, they always run to a guard or whatever. :L

People like that shouldn't be rolling on PvP servers to begin with. It's almost comical how many people QQ about PvP happening on a PvP server. If they didn't want it to happen, they should have never rolled there. My reply to anyone doing that on the forums is to either pony up $25 to transfer to a PvE server or just reroll elsewhere.

Q: There is a lot of mixed feedback regarding daily quests. There are players who love the fact that they have a new endgame progression system that allows them to eventually obtain better gear through reputation and Valor Points, yet there are others who feel forced to do dailies in order to keep up in PvE progression which essentially feels like an enforced ‘grind’ to them. What are your thoughts on PvE progression now after more and more players reach endgame?

More specific: Are you considering additional changes to the reputation system besides the increased reputation gain for alts? Do you feel players who complain about the need to do daily quests have a point, or are there other and equally quick means of progression they haven’t discovered yet (such as running Heroics -> running LFR)?
A: The vast arrays of daily quests are there to provide players with plenty of things to do once they hit level 90. These are not intended to be completed in weeks, but enjoyed over several months. The items and goodies players can earn through these factions are all things unnecessary to remain competitive in-game, and each person has the choice of whether or not to work to earn them. Even with top-end recipes, the benefit is very minuscule by comparison to what is more readily available, and especially after players have begun wearing item level 500+ gear.

From Mmo-Champion, As it says most of the exalted stuff is mounts and other fun bits that aren't needed to keep up in PvE. At least they are trying to maintain a lifeline in this expansion which I quite like.

People still run rouges?

Hunters are the new rouges.
