I still have to get several factions up to exhalted (for the new mounts), and do most of 'Ready for War' for Pathfinder.....but I have absolutely no motivation.

Feels like half this expansion is missing (and I don't mean endgame...I mean what I expect to see at the beginning of an expansion). Professions were gutted so badly, and mats are so mismanaged...huge areas of zones have nothing in them, some mobs are still unskinnable/unlootable. Even getting all the gear upgrades possible in WQs, my hunter still feels underpowered (which was never the case in past expansions).....

My saving grace in the past was alts. Farming lower levels and having a fairly robust economy for transmogs, basic mats, and other goodies. I can't sell a damned thing on the AH. Even putting up old sellers at 10% of the Undermine Journals current AH listing values, I rarely get a sale. While I don't mind level scaling, it has made farming at low levels and general grinding for specific ores/herbs take a lot longer and makes it less attractive to level alts.

And it's a shame...this expansion is really visually appealing. The zones are beautiful. Most of the world quests are nice and short and aren't much of a hassle. In theory, this should be a nice expansion for semi-casuals like me to run around farming, doing a bit of this and that, and having fun. But, it isn't.

Something is missing.
