Basically a bunch of A–>B–>C quests. You kill Nathanos, then do some dailies in ICC. Collect rocks, kill a bunch of rares that spawn in 20min intervals and I think some ghouls run around but that’s that.

Rare farming isn’t really needed, but it’s a good way to gear up your lvl 50 alts if you want. My friend got like 7 item upgrades from 2 hours of farming.

As to the second part of “why are people upset about it”, the whole thing feels very lame and underwhelming. It’s about 30 minutes of content. For geared mains, there’s nothing to do. And there’s no time sensitive items like the hats from MOP pre patch, the items from Legion pre patch, or the mount from BFA pre patch.

it’s also worth knowing that all of the rares are recycled (literally) bosses from WOTLK 5 mans and have the same voice lines, same models, and drop the same loot as before, but under different names (same stats). Novos the Summoner from DTK for example has the same initiation line, and flops in 10 seconds.

Basically, this pre-patch has about 30 minutes of actual content but you’ll have dailies to do for the next two weeks for about 150 pieces of currency total at the rate of 1 or 2 currency per quest. It’s underwhelming, it’s lazy, and it’s just bad.

That’s why people are upset.
