does just what an expansion should do. new content, new professions, new environments have an appealing touch to them. however i am not known to be an optimist. all older end game content is now practicality useless apart from the odd giggle as you take out MC with a group of 10 people or storm through ZG as if you were walking through a field of daises crushing them as you go. the new arena system introduces an almost completely skill based pvp system which was well needed, thumbs up to blizzard for that. the battleground is now almost obsolete as most people are doing arena games or exploring new end game dungeons. a worthwhile expansion. but after 2 years of playing the game it is somewhat lacking. the end game dungeons are meh. they are great don't get me wrong. they require skill and precision to do rather than the sheer brute force required in MC and older end game content but after you have been running end game content for years.. you start to wonder... why do i do the same instance week after week to get gear which i surely should have gotten by now.. i believe a reward system would have worked better say if bosses dropped tokens which could be handed in for gear which allowed you to take on new encounters instead of dragging through the old encounters each week with enough speed to let you spend a day or two with your group trying to conquer the new encounters. the introduction of heroic instances allow smaller groups of friends to become much more close and still allow them to get decent gear. great idea. great game but somewhat lacking. but it is possible this expansion's traits count well come to a greater usage in further expansions. an ambitious expansion. just scrapes home.. but leaves plenty of room for future content. overall it is worth the cash.
