Well 6.2 is something to do at least. But honestly this timeless isle 2.0 lacks finesse. Not a single texture you haven't seen, just some farm areas around a generic hub. Also everything gated and if I have to do boring shit over and over again, please let me do it in one epic session and be done with it. Guess the isle is okay for alts but the 650 bale items are pointless for your main. If you like farming the upgrade to 650 -> 695 per 20k apex is something to keep you busy for a while.
The raid is okay (as expected). Killing orcs in greyish halls gets old somehow, the "fel" touch was nice, though.
I don't know but I had such high expectations for the first "real" content patch after 8 months and it just feels like they don't really care anymore. Don't get me wrong, everything is solid and polished as usual, but the gameplay did not evolve a single pixel since MOP. Metzen's herp derp lore does not help, too.

I didn't even bother to log in tonight to raid.
3 hours Tuesday night was enough to be like fuck this.

So Tanaan Jungle loot you can 'tune' by collecting pieces until you get the secondary stat combinations you want and then boost to ilevel 695 (or get 675 off the bat if you are lucky with purple frequent flier upgrade) and yet the Raid Finder loot is only 675 while being terribly itemized and Normal is just 690?

Only reason it seems to do any raid, is too finish the legendary ring that unbelievably has versatility as one of its stats. This has to go down as the most ho hum expansion yet and makes me wonder if this game is just finished for a lot of players. Usually I am a little excited for a major patch but this is just....more of the same. The next expansion needs to involve the extinction of Orcs and Trolls. Some major event that alters their DNA making them the dragonkin they were supposed to be(Just make up a story) and the rebirth of the new Emerald Dream can occur. Its a shame because Blizzard has the resources to monopolize this for years and years if they gave a shit.

Could turn orcs into half demons, let the dranei turn to eredar. Maybe make a third demonic faction or merge the horde and alliance but split the forsaken off to form its own faction. I dunno. They can make up whatever story they want but give us a fundamental change

If I had to guess, I'd say they know their target audience and they know that for a 10 year old game, you can't reinvent the wheel or you'll lose the people who've been sub'd (more or less) the entire time. Whereas we here at Rerolled have an expectation of new, fun, and exciting, the vast majority of continuous subs just want to know that the next time they log in everything will be just the way they left it. It's not an enviable position for the creative folks at Blizzard. You know the suits don't want their bonuses to be effected by some punk kid with an idea of how to make WoW feel like a completely new experience.
If I were a betting man, I'd say that's what drove Ghostcrawler out the door. He [probably] had very little creative freedom because all the shit he tried to implement (hard dungeons, interesting class rotations/gameplay, etc) fell on its face and drove subs DOWN.

Subs are still going down no? This game is not growing. It'll never grow again either. The only way you'll see a drastic change is if you see a drastic dip in subs.

I have enjoyed the new fights except for the first two. The trash only boss is a horrible way to introduce a new raid and the second boss is just meh with really annoying animations. The rest of the fights just have a ton of moving parts and are interesting.

The cinematic leave little to doubt that this is the end of this expansion. There's no unexplored area left, the legion is repelled, alt-Guldan is called by the Legion (to make alt-Lich King instead of Ner'zhul since we slaughtered him early in a dungeon?), and Yrel says "we rebuild, but I'm sure I'll find a quest hub somewhere in the next expansion to settle".
We free him during the raid, so he keeps up with us until the last boss. Gratitude.
Not at first, unless you're real careless. The main thing is to hunt asap for the equipment blueprints. Most of them drop from rares, repop time for those is around 30mn. You'll have to join a raid for the Whale Shark, and of course there's the one that drops inside the Citadel. But none of the vendor stuff is useful for missions.
Master Plan 0.60 can give you potential groups, but can't (yet?) suggest equipment swaps. Don't forget that you can swap equipment on your blue destroyer, if needed. I'd build 2 or even 3 additional destroyers, and hope one of them gets rare promotion (my 3rd one did), so you can alternate destroyers on your missions. You'll get the faction required for battleships on the 2nd day. But otherwise, it's going to be slower, yea. Don't expect your Citadel missions to come soon.
Don't expect any filter. The only person who can see them is you, you can't even publish on the armory.

As somebody already pointed out, there is no hurry. Its not like an expansion comes out at the end of the year. So what if the boat missions take a while. Fallout 4 might be one reason to semi rush this but I imagine everyone will be done with 6.2 by then even at a snails pace.

I'm still enjoying 6.2 to be honest, I'm okay with the game. Only because I like going back and doing old quests I haven't completed and I like healing dungeons, especially if I have a friend with me I just make him pull everything.
But anyone that isn't doing that and anyone that isn't currently raiding I can't imagine they would stick around for 5 dailies in Tanaan. It's great and all they want to appeal to the super casual, that's probably a smart move, but there's got to be something more, man. I'm not looking forward to another 8 month wait for something else.

I figure Tanaan will scratch my itch on non-raid days at least enough to keep me from running Witcher 3 into the damn ground, because I can play that game for a frightening amount of hours. ("uh, guess I'll heat up some food now that I'm fucking starving" and "oops missed that text from four hours ago about meeting for a beer" and "Why am I so tired? Oh, right, I have to go to work in... soon" have all been issues already)
But 6.2 crap I know I can safely log in without losing the rest of my day. Which is better than 6.1, where I'd log in and wonder wtf I clicked the warcraft icon.
