Where's the Mystery?
I don't get it.
I ran across this thread in the WoW forums concerning the upcoming "Scourge Invasion". Sounds cool, and if I was still playing I think some of it would be fun. But the FAQ pretty much lays out a great deal (if not all?) of the things that will happen and the strategies to deal with them. People seem excited, but where's the mystery? Where's the thrill of discovery? A lot of the stuff sounds like it'll be cool to see, and naturally there'll be new phat l00t for people, but don't the players get any enjoyment out of something new unfolding rather than having it all plotted out for them?
Of course, I don't understand the people who spend hours upon hours in the endgame raid instances just to get their armor sets, either. People looking for different things in an RPG, I guess. Or rather, in a game - "role-playing" doesn't really enter into it at that point (if it ever did).
