Well, I'll take that as a compliment. ;) And, as someone who scrimped and saved for their mount, I am truly impressed by your gold accumulating talents. (Still, given the real importance of gold in the game, I can't resist asking: Is this "World of Warcraft" or "Ages of Arbitrage"?) But I agree with many of Jarulf's comments in another thread. I do think WoW is really well done, and perhaps one shouldn't expect it to cater to an anti-social online game player such as myself, but why not?
I really enjoyed coming across some of the out-of-the-way places (like Newman's landing off the coast of Stormwind, or a little Murlock camp north of the Swamp of Sorrows with a treasure chest that never seemed to respawn) . Yet Bliz seems to have done so little to reward players who might be interested in doing something else other than 40-person raids (not to say that people who enjoy participating in such raids shouldn't be rewarded), or even smaller instances where if it happens you have to leave in the middle, you are ditching your group.
Anyway, it seems to me to that there is a lot more room in the game for all kinds of different players than Bliz has currently satisfied, but I'm not optimistic that they will explore it (unless the profit motive dictates otherwise, not that there's anything wrong with that).
