Quote:That can actually describe Azshara as a whole. I mean its right there, full of interesting mobs (hippogriffs, chimera, ghosts, satyr, etc) But theres nothing *to* it. Pretty much yeah, everything after STV is either dull, ugly, or useless.
Azshara does fall very short of its potential -- although it was a very nice place to take a fishing vacation after my priest retired.
I really like the plaguelands though. The grindy quests are for the most part scene-setting for more detailed group questlines (Tirion Fordring, Darrowshire, Nathanatos Blightcaller's quests) that are a lot of fun and really give you a feel (as someone who never played the warcraft RTS games) for what went on. If the game had no instances at all (but still had group play), it would make a satisfying conclusion to the whole 1-60 experience.
If anything I'd like to see the group events that have been blatantly nerfed into cinematics (Taelan in Hearthglen, the Great Masquerade in Stormwind, i'm sure there's more i'm forgetting) changed (back?) into challenging fights.
