I think if you have items you need from Inscribed Sourcestones it's a pretty decent payout for a 50. I do agree that in it's current iteration it is definitely most advantageous to 45-49 players. The real power here though is the community building - you don't need to wait through long queue times to form a group due to a lack of a particular role, you don't group with faceless members of another shard. I would love for this to be the primary vehicle for leveling for a new character - it would be amazing.
I wish people would understand that WoW doesn't have 12 million North American/European subs, their numbers are grossly inflated by a Chinese player-base that pays pennies on the dollar. 7 years is a long time to lead the pack and its obvious that folks are itching for a change. Many of the former hardcore guilds I have played in are shutting their doors for SW:TOR and I know its not an anomaly.
Time will tell, but I think its a foregone conclusion that WoW won't be the top dog much longer. The ridiculous comments the fan base is making are just like the ones that we made in EQ when we saw the writing on the wall in 04/05.
The real secret here, and the thing that people can't seem to get through their heads is this; you can play more than one MMOG. Hell, you can even like Coke AND Pepsi (I just blew your mind didn't I?). They aren't like women, they don't get upset when you spend a little time inside another one.
Even though I have canceled all my WoW subs, I may still go back and play it someday - especially with all the free gametime they keep emailing me, and I will play SWTOR and Rift and EQ2 and enjoy them all.
Thanks for the constructive criticism. It is by no means a complete list, so feel free to add anything in comments you feel is pertinent for new players and we can always add it later.
WoW 6.0 will be Jurassic Park, where all good dinosaurs go to die. New features will include a dancing mini-game and the 8 year old demographic will be the main focus.
Also, It was the Disciple from Vanguard that they ripped off in its healing aspects. It's such a mixed bag for me, 80% of the info about 5.0 made me never want to play again, but the Monk sounds awesome.
They should just use the Rift system instead, since it's 100% better.
