Why Are So Many People Quitting WoW? The Answer Is Simple.

10 Suggestions For Improving WoW: Mists of Pandaria

The "daily grind" of Mists of Pandaria feels like less of a grind than previous expansions. By varying the daily quests and providing a wide array of new types of content to choose from, Blizzard has done a great job keeping World of Warcraft fresh. Pet battles, scenarios, raid finder, and crop farming are welcome new additions to the game. MoP heroic dungeons are more forgiving than their Cataclysm counterparts, lessening the frustration of end-game gear progression. While I have no complaints at this time, there's still a lot of room for improvement. Here are 10 ideas which I think would help keep WoW interesting in MoP and future expansions.

My 5 Favorite Things About WoW: Mists of Pandaria

Upon the launch of MoP, I did something I've never done before at the beginning of an expansion. When WotLK came out, I went straight to leveling my Paladin main character from 70 to 80, putting off leveling a Death Knight for awhile. During Cataclysm I started out leveling my rogue from 80 to 83 but quickly returned to my Paladin, reaching level 85 soon after. Much later on I tried leveling a worgen and goblin.

When MoP came out, I did something completely different. I immediately began leveling a monk. After reaching level 75, only then did I finally begin my journey into the Jade Forest on my Paladin. Experiencing both the new leveling game as well as the expansion content gave me a pretty good feel of what's been greatly improved about World of Warcraft in this expansion.
