Ya but then you ahve to grind gold and rep to do anything else. hehe
Grind Gold, Grind Reputation, Grind Honor etc etc etc
That is if you want to have all the good stuff, if you are playing casual you don't have to grind everything. If you want to be at the top of your game? Have fun grinding.
If you dont want to do that you are gonna get killed by 8 year olds who grind 24/7 that's hardly fun to me. Having to many people in WoW is almost as bad as having to few in an mmo.
