I think you guys miss the point to xpacs at this particular juncture; what blizzard obviously wants is for you to not play/pay for the game untli the last 3-6 months of an xpacs life. cause within that time you get everything for way less than what you have to do now....rep grinds are faster, way less time gating due to catchup mechanics, and if you want to see all the raids lfr my dudes. Not to mention they will scale boa gear for your toons so leveling is a snap, and then after the easy farms all there is left to do is gear up for the next xpac that you dont have to play until the last 3-6 months of its life.
