millionairs…

When you feel let down because of the alarming amount of effort it requires to find what you\’re searching for, cheer up because you are one step closer to your goal….

@Urthona: Oh, how I wish that were the case. Not for another couple of years, however. Mr. Phae still has to finish his doctorate before we can think of having kids! I agree with you that class-specific progression is one of the most enjoyable kinds. I think that’s the reason that class quests are so popular, even when levelling up an alt who will only be of a level to take advantage of the rewards for a relatively short period of time. And why many Druids clamor for the addition of a Cat Form quest.

@Athyrn: I’m glad. It made a big difference for me, too!

@Auryann: Hahaha. Yes, it does look like Yoda. His one saving grace is the little patch of fluffy white hair (also, Yoda-esque, however).

@Someone: ALTS!! How could I forget. =) However, as I mention, the reason alts are so fun is that they essentially double your access to all of the listed forms of progression. I’ve been toying with my baby Priest alt the last few days and been having a ball.

@Lolmoonfire: First of all, cute name. Second of all, I wonder why they did that. Shouldn’t affect me directly since I use the PMC set and can’t afford to break the set bonus. ^_^

They removed the Life-Step Belt from the badge vendor, so no one can purchase it via badges now. Just letting you know if you didn’t already.

You forgot one more: ALTS!
If all other routes fail, start a brand new and fresh char of a different race/class/gender/faction. And you’ll get new quests, new sights, new ways of solving problems…

If it weren’t for alts, I’d be LONG gone!

That’s one ugly baby. I hope mine doesn’t look like that. ^_^ Looks like Yoda.

If your “next progression track” is a sideways hint to IRL endeavors, good luck.

Personally, I wish there were more class-specific progression tracks. As I also play a druid, I wish there ws a way to complete my Cenarion Circle reputation without going to Silithus. I’m a treehugger, I know it. Tell me again why I need to kill random geomancers and bugs in a desert?

I wish there was some form of expanded action in Felwood or something. “Preserve” the world by killing demons and picking flowers.
