I start reading all the landscape stuff and thinking how good it seems, then I make the mistake of looking at crafting and die a little inside.

I started making crafting mats then realised I had enough small ones left over on all my crafting toons from last year. Yes.. last year! I get that crafting needs to go up a tier with a expansion BUT it's the guild stuff that is annoying me, how much more of a MASTER can one become?

umm.. superubermaster is the next one after the RoR tier.

Epic quest line for me I think, then decide if I can really be arsed to do more.

I think it's a shame, considering just how epic they could have made this expansion. It just looks like they have focused on the shinies (Looks) and not actual gameplay/content as such.

Don't get me wrong, there is a few nice touches to it but it just looks a little ... blergh.

Well see in five days. I'm optimistic about this and trying not to look at it in a negative light. Though I've no read a lot on the expansion or played the beta from week 3.

Personally for me, the Guardian changes are bad. There is no threat increase to compensate for the higher damage the other classes will be doing, no mitigation or block increases or any real changes to survivability.

I'd much rather that they did something for the real job the class does and not the secondary role, which Guardians could do effectively anyway with a proper build.
