Anyone else burnt out/bored yet?Follow

I'm feeling a little burnt out in some ways, but I've also been playing a lot the last two weeks. I've been waiting for a few of the other people in my raid group to get heroic ready (and been helping them run regulars to do so) and currently sitting in all blue gear, mostly a mix of 333's and 346's with my chest a 325 blue. I've definitely been enjoying farming herbs and selling 5 stacks for anywhere from 30 to 75g a piece. I tried making some flasks and transmutes, but there's not much demand and a lot of supply for those thus far so it isn't really worth it. Transmuting volatiles to sell though, that's some good profit there. I've made about 17k thus far (with 5k of that tied up in a azure whelpling I'm trying to resell) and very stoked to make more in the coming weeks while people are still trying to hit 85 and level their professions. If I can't be rich irl, it's at least comforting to be so in WoW. I know 17k isn't that much... but it is to me, and I'm happy just knowing that I can buy anything I need and still have plenty of gold leftover.

I'm not quite burnt out, but I can see myself unsubbing within a month or two.
I got to 85 in just over a week, and I've done all of the zones except the underwater one.
I haven't done all of the dungeons on normal yet, 0 on heroic.
So I will probably finish the sea zone, run all of the dungeons, then see where my guild is with raiding, and decide if I want to play another 10-12 months of running the same 7 heroics over and over and over to build points for one bit of gear, whilst running the same 4 raids over and over and over and over, then running the (2? 3? probably not 4) new raids.
I could roll an alt, I guess, but I've already done the Worgen starting zone, Goblins don't appeal to me at all, and I know if I DO roll an alt, it will get abandoned the minute it hits 58/60 (depending on if they updated anything post 58, or just hope you will PLEASE visit all the lonely npcs and mobs in Outlands)
So, yeah, I'm not burnt out just yet, as I have new content still to do, but I know it won't be long.

I think a lot of people get burnt out from trying to accomplish everything as fast as possible. Relax, enjoy the game and play at your own pace.

Not even close to burning out, I've been taking my time, reading quest text, messing with professions etc.. I want to enjoy it on my first play through, there is plenty of time to rush it with alts and it never feels the same the second time.

All I've really done so far is raise Archaeology to 202 and the 2 Cata starter zones and I'm 3 bars into 84!

It feels like I have far too much I want to do and not enough time to do it, I'm averaging about 1-2 hours a day at most and still enjoying it all so far.

Yeah I'm having a similar feeling. Leveling my hunter again was fun. Then I made thousands of gold mining, maxed engineering; still fun.. Ran all the regulars, then did some heroics :( 30-40 min queues, terribad players with wipes galore. My guild always seem to run when I'm not around to play. I have a weird schedule so the allure to WoW for me has always been that I can pug any time of the day. With the new guild perks all these guys just run with their guilds however and on top of that it seems all the tanks decided to level their DPS alts/mains first leaving us with none to pug with in the first place. It just doesn't feel as casual as it did during WotLK. I like the new difficulty level, I really do. The problem is that most casual players aren't getting the hang of it quickly enough, leaving me waiting around for a decent group that matches my skill level :/

The content is great. Like 10x better than WotLK.


My biggest beef is that healing is slow, plodding, and from a TBC healer who wasn't overly fond of WotLK healing I feel we have just jumped to a new flavour that is not enjoyable. Which sucks, because I hate Retribution and I don't want to reset a new main after playing Bode since Kara.

I thought Paladins had three specs? Are you allergic to getting hit in the face or something?

Bode is way too pretty for that type of work.

Only Bodh would come up with a response that basically sums up as, "I tried it once, but I was so good, it wouldn't be fair to others for me to continue."

This is kinda how I feel. I am to the point that running regular dungeons gives very little reward (70jp a day). I dread even trying heroics because every random group I get involves about 3 hours of hell trying to get through them, if we get through it at all. The last one I got to finish was H SFK. Before it was all said and done we had a new tank, 2 new dps and about 8 wipes. The Healer and myself was the only 2 original party members left when we got to the end. Last night tried a random got stonecore (dungeon allready in progress knew I was doomed). Was at the 2nd boss. 5 wipes later tank was still beign 1 shotted by the shatter attack as was a dps warrior. I dont think the boss ever got down more than about 20% of his HP.

Only thing I have to do at this point is the wildhammer daily quests and tol barad daily quests. Being doing a little bit of PVP, at least feel like I am accomplishing something there.

I know they want to make this "Challenging content" to keep people from getting burnt out but It is having the opposite effect on casual players. People with limited time to play every day don't want to have to spend all evening trying to run a random heroic dungeon. I never got bored with WOTLK content until about 3 months before Cata came out and honestly only reason I was bored then was I wasn't burning JP anymore on gear I was hording on my lvl 80's.
