What is fun and what is not fun is an individual experience, but I agree with some of your observations and disagree with others. Paying off the dwarves of the Thorium Brotherhood does not compare to the thrill of giving all your gold to Wirt, but at least you can toggle your run option off while fighting to the bar in BRD.
I'm trying to remember if DII had random stats on sets? I'm thinking that the set items were fixed, but I am not sure. I don't think having random stats on high end sets is workable. I envision most guilds having to disband over loot disagreements. But I like randomness to items and I wish there was more of it in WoW. Baguette, my priest, finally got her Archivist's Cloak of Shadow Wrath and she was thrilled.
The landscapes of some areas like MC are boring. I rather like the Eastern Plaguelands though. Admittedly I am a little slow but I keep finding new things there. Last week met up with a dwarf by the name of Duggan Wildhammer. Any idea what he is for?
Some of the reputation grinding I actually enjoy. Fafner is well liked by the Timbermaw and it was an honor to be proclaimed a hero of the Alliance in Ironforge the first day of the patch.
I also enjoy advancing the story line. I know some people don't pay attention to the gray chat from NPC's, but after visiting Naxxramis I have some idea why Bronzebeard's brother is hanging out in Silithus.
One way I keep my sanity is to have my characters work on different things. Fafner raids. Baguette has just discovered PvP. Tribade has been collecting healing gear and is now at about +650 (some of it still green). She is my only character who has been to Naxxramas. So, yes, you can quest in Naxxramas with no set pieces at all.
Have you tried PvP? Up until a couple days ago I would have totally agreed with you but now Baguette is hooked. And this morning she just found the pattern for the Cloak of Warding!
