A lot of scripted events, different scenarios, tactics. Plus you have the full array of paladin abilities at your disposal.

How you guys doing with Archeology? Im at 450 i think. Now thats a grind.

i gave up cause there was just too much shit to do... and everything in the game now is literally an asinine, arbitrary time-sink

the achievements, archeology, the badge-grind... it's not like it was in vanilla

in vanilla, end-game was about being the best at PvE/PvP... now once you hit the level cap you just have to waste your time doing loads of mindless, repetitive bullshit. im not saying vanilla wasn't repetitive - not at all - but the content was challenging and you had a clear path of 'progression'. now at 85 you can spend all your time doing the most stupid, literally pointless shit: the achievement grinds, the stupid secondary professions that add literally nothing, the stupid levelling shit. i just don't know.

even though the game's 'difficulty' has (relatively) increased for cataclysm, it just lost its sense of 'purpose'. so yeah heroics and raiding is tougher than it was in WotLK... but it still feels like a part of the game that's lost or surrounded by loads of other unnecessary shite. achievements in raids, heroic badge-systems, guild tasks... it's just weighed the game down with lots of shit that doesn't need to be there. lots of shit that consumes lots of time. i was happy to no-life and give lots of hours-per-week to a consistent PvP grind or a PvE hardcore attitude, but it just seems as though 1/2 your time in-game now is spent doing shit that, really, an MMO could do without.

that is literally THE best summary i have ever read of WoW as we currently know it.

yeah... i basically think it's the fact that the game has lost its refinement. being 'hardcore' in the old days meant you could really excel at the game in nearly ALL aspects. nowadays it's like if you raid hardcore, fair enough... but 50% of the other 'new' content is tailored for casuals, time-sinks and mindless grinds. so really you feel obliged to go do that, too. the achievement system in TBC really changed the focus of the game, imo, from actually DOING all the content, to wasting all your time on pointless gimmick-tasks and arbitrary numbers.
