Copious amounts of time off? Clearly you will be playing as much as you can. But which games?

I'm not asking if leveling is too easy, I'm asking if it's too divorced from what we're expected to do at max level. One of the things that limits console RPG's from getting too much ability bloat is the limitation of the control interface, but MMO's like WoW pack on the abilities - even after the pretty significant trim that we saw in Warlords of Draenor a max level characters interface can have upwards of twenty regularly used buttons on it.

I love the LFR system, but, ugh, I am burned out and I blame that demanding bastard Archmage "Khadgar".

I didn't really work on pet battles all that much in Mists of Pandaria.

Playing certain characters in World of Warcraft, I regret some of the things I've sold off or simply thrown away over the years.

Looking back over the course of Warlords of Draenor, one thing I really expected that didn't happen at all is that I thought Shattrath would be a raid, instead of an outdoor zone for garrison daily quests.

I'm one of those WoW players who seems to be inevitably broke. No matter how much gold I come into — which is rarely much, even in this seemingly easy money in-game economy — I seem to be better at spending it than making it.

For all that World of Warcraft offers a huge game world filled with millions of players, the actual game is very much on rails.

I don't want to miss reforging. The problem is, for me, some stats are still just garbage - crit and mastery are still our absolute best stats, haste is still bad (bordering on very bad depending on talent choices) and both versatility and multistrike are, at best, meh. Yes, it's true, with the changes to gear and enchanting and gemming I can put on a new piece of gear almost immediately without running off to tinker with it. But the problem is, often, I don't want to, even if it's an ilevel upgrade, because it's a haste/multistrike piece and why even bother?

I find that the only use I have for Apexis Crystals is to turn them into Seals of Fate, but that by far isn't the most popular way among people I know, who seem to vastly prefer using honor points. This has me wondering how you go about getting your Seals.
