Ah great, someone who actually plays (mage) currently! How long have you played? I'm going to guess that you started in Wotlk or cata because tbh I find the longer people have player, the poorer their opinion of current things. Do you really think MoP is going to be awesome? I guess for many the magic has died and nothing will be able to bring it back. Damn, now I'm just reminiscing...

I just got back to WOW after 5 years of not playing (quit right before TBC). I was O_O by how the game has changed. Its way too easy and one dimensional nowadays.
I also completely agree that LFD is terrible, I've been back to playing since 4.2 but beside of my 3 real life friends that come back to play with me. I made no new friend on WOW for the first 2 months. LFD really takes away the sense of a community. You don't need to know anyone, just learn to click that button and wait. After getting into the dungeon, players don't even bother chatting, just go forward, toward the end and left right after.

For the raid right now its not that bad though. FL has some really cool fight esp Rag. But since you don't need to "social" on WOW anymore it makes the game boring most of the time except time for raid. If you don't raid, don't even bother coming back or start play at all.

I've been playing for four years now and it seems MoP will bring at least part of the magic back. Knowing Blizzard and WoW though, they'll probably fuck it up, but I believe it's going to be worth a try at least.

Heh, I started playing WoW the first day it came out in Europe in 2005. I played a warlock for half of vanilla, then played a mage for the second half + the whole of TBC. I didn't play at all in Wrath, but I came back last december in Cata, again with my mage. I didn't raid tier 11 due to time concerns, I am actively raiding tier 12 heroics atm. And yes, from what I've seen at BlizzCon, MoP will be exactly what WoW needs. I just hope I won't be disappointed.

As for the "magic" being gone... it's been gone for me ever since TBC ended and even then I was already pretty pissed off (Illidan getting killed by a bunch of noobs on the internet? fuck no). That feeling of exploring something genuinely new and different, going into the unknown and immersing yourself in the story and characters... it will never come back to the way it was when I first entered Westfall with my warlock on level 10, not a single green item to his name, carefully timing his shadowbolts not to aggro the taunt-immune harvest watchers before they took enough damage from his Voidwalker. The best we can hope for is something that comes as close as possible to that and all I can say at this point is that MoP is doing a whole lot more for me in the excitement department than WotLK or Cata ever did.

Have to agree with RyN here, I mean Blizzard f*cked the lore so much for some contents that last like a few months and then people will forget it forever.
Just make some random boss name it whatever and creating an interesting fight and people will love it. Some pretty big and awesome lore characters don't need to be killed by some 25/10 mortals O_O. The Warcraft lore may actually ends after WoW. I think at the last expand of WoW(the one after MoP) Saregas is gonna get his butt kicked by some random people :D

I feel like they made everything too easy to get - things used to be that you work from one tier to another, and content was actually hard to clear. Now they made it so that 10-man raids can acquire items that are also acquired from 25-man raids (just in less quantity), and it just feels like everything is easier to accomplish, and with less people.

You should try raiding with 10 before you say its easier to do
