Key Rings

[Kevin]

To this day, I'm irked that they negated any need to obtain that key with the inclusion of Thorium Point. I love the convenience, just not the fact that there's no need to work for the key. It's akin to finding out after the long, drawn out quest to get the Scholomance key, defeating Araj the Summoner and forging it in the heat of the volcano deep in Un'Goro crater... that all you need is a rogue to pick the lock.

Meh.

Agreed.

The main reason I kept the key is because as you mentioned, getting it used be a kind of right of passage, at least if you didn't use maps of zones that were out there. Just finding your way into Searing Gorge for the first time was cool. The whole, what the heck is behind that gate? You ran into it when you were in your teens, and it was just cool to get in there and look around then get the key so you could get there quick from Thelsamarr instead of the long run through the badlands. Not that there was a lot of reason to go when you were level appropriate for the zone as there weren't all that many quests. I did have some good use of it getting to BRD and such before Thorium Point was put in. I haven't actually used it since then but I've still got it. :)


And yeah I've only bothered to get the Startholme key with just one 60 per server (since I don't have an L60 rogue yet) there are still times where a key for there helps. Of course now that you can actually make money doing the quest line at L60 (you get more for the exp to money than the 15 gold you have to fork out) I might do it on a few others.
