One serious question I have for the future of WoW, and have had since Wrath and the creation of personal acheivements, is where has the community feel gone?
Vanilla WoW and BC were fantastic; hardfought instances, beautifully designed fights, and fastpaced PVP. players knew that new kids on the block needed guidance through Kara, Gruuls, Mags etc, and they'd take time in Vent to describe the encounters, steps in CC, slowpoints for dps etc...
Nowadays, a PuG is an anomaly. people are judged by the gear and the Acheivement so fast that if you're new, good luck doing anything EXCEPT the LFG and LFR fights. if you need help to truly understand a boss, there is no additional info anyone gives except "LF youtube nub." Players have become so intoxicated with their 10k AP and their singular DPS that they will literally wipe an entire raid for the sake of solo-targetting a boss...
Will MoP, an expansion that thus far seems family oriented over challenge oriented, bring back the passion for the game and it's players that Wrath all but managed to destroy? or is this going to be yet another "do it for yourself, if you aren't good enough Alt+F4 nub" situation? this question is fairly important for me as it's probably something that I'm going to use to determine whether or not I even stay for the expansion...
