Well, 2 months later here's my take on Warlords of Draenor/WoW...
I leveled my main to 100, didn't complete Nagrand and don't really feel like bothering with 5 hubs worth of quests just to see the end cinematic and get an item that isn't useful to me at this point.
My garrison is fully built out and self sustaining. I've reached the point where I just login and run the apexis crystals daily to get an epic cloak because it is the only slot left that I have a 630 blue in. I hit over 645 ilvl in both feral and resto specs and just need the cloaks to hit the savagely epic achievement but I am finding it hard to care. I also pickup the various work orders, herbs and ores then hearth to Warspear to put them in the bank supposedly for alts to craft with maybe someday.
I got 3 alts into garrisons at level 90 just collecting free guild resources I pick up every couple of days. They each have about 5k now. The cap is 10k. My main has about 5k and growing faster than I spend them on missions.
Speaking of missions, I have all 5 followers I needed working the buildings in my garrison and another 20 are leveled to 100/epic and are all at 645 plus for gear so they can do any and all missions including the highmaul raid ones.
I did the legendary quest up to the 680 ring. Just collecting stones now to get the upgrade to 690.
It was fun reaching this point and just doing LFR raids once a week to see the content and get some upgrades. It was fun running all the heroics at least once and passing the silver proving grounds in both my specs. However, now after just two months it has become routine and boring really. I meant to cancel this month and missed it by an hour accidentally. lol
I guess I'll give it another month and maybe I'll have some fun with the alts or something but somehow I just feel burned out on the repetitiveness of it all.
I was about 25 hours into KOTOR for Mac (thanks Aspyr!) when Draenor hit and hadn't touched it since. The other night I fired it up, reacquainted myself with it and played a bit. It was fun too. In this single player game I felt like there was purpose and story to unfold, etc.
Anyway, that's my story about WoW.
I am considering Elder Scrolls Online but I probably should just play Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim instead. The persistent worlds of MMOs with vast interesting places to explore and populated by other real people appeals to me though and is what has kept me coming back since I began playing them well over a decade ago now. Anyone have any comments about ESO? Maybe I should try Diablo III. I know it isn't an MMO but I wonder what the multiplayer is like in that, if any of it is cooperative or is it all just pvp.
The biggest advantage, which I assume you know but I'll say it anyway , of playing a solo game, is that the world doeschange based on you, versus a static MMO which besides some instanced story interactions, remains static, completely static. And it's all highly repetitive. That's a given. When I fight anyone in WoW PVE, I just run through my Attack list, usually in order, maybe slight variation to disrupt a spell, not much thought required. I'm still in Pandaria, still loving the sights.
One aspect of WoT that I love is that you are playing people, and strategies might seem repetitive, they require some thought based on terrain and the type of opponent. I guess this might be said of WoW for PVP? But I don't do WoW PVP. I restareted WoW to get to WoD, but I might not make I t. If I hold out till the next expansion, Blizzard might give me WoD for free like they did Pandaria.
