I'm not going to quote anyone and I'm going to hit a bunch of points in this post because I have to leave soon...
1.) hypocrite -- EXAMPLE: Preacher says "Adultery is a SIN and you will burn in Hell!" ...but is sleeping with 3 different women in the congregation. THAT is a hypocrite.
2.) debate -- SERIOUSLY? You believe it's not about being right? You have NO idea what debate is. It's not a stalemate activity.
3.) I enjoy (for the most part) the dailies. If you don't. DON'T DO THEM. And my main is a healer with jewel crafting. Anyone complaining about 22 days to get the lion's share of the patterns can pipe down.
4.) I said in another thread, but was dismissed by a RAIDING moderator, that people who raid want to, and DO, dismiss with open hostility those of us who do not raid as being "fail"...and here it is again.
5.) I hate baseball, but the baseball thing was right on target. Thanks for that. Too bad it will be dismissed though.
6.) FINALLY, not everyone who plays this game has the same level of fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, or mental processing speed. There are people for whom jumping out of stuff on the floor is a PHYSICAL challenge. There are people who play WoW who have one arm. Imagine trying to do Trolls with ONE HAND. So anyone who begrudges content OTHER than what they like should "stfu"...play what you like and how you like it and stop worrying about what other players do and get when they play the game the way they do.
7.) OK this is the last thing...REREAD THE BASEBALL THING. Then read it again.
1. I can easily see how someone could take hypocritic to be too serious for this thread but its just a video game message board and I don't really see any harm in howI put it(ie bliz says 'we are taking out the meaningless grinds, here are a bunch of easy to get items, but here, grind these others for 22 days if you want these patterns)
2. yes, seriously. Debate or discussion has everything to do with intent. It can be someone's intent to debate their rightness on any given subject or just to discuss something and give their opinion on it. If you feel the need to try and prove how right you are and how wrong someone else's opinion is on something subjective then I could only have pity on you.
3.*sigh* I also have two max lvl jcs
4-7. agree with
People who raid and complain what hard work it is shouldn't be raiding to begin with.

Where did Blizzard say they are taking out grinds? (quote or it is BS) And how would you ever consider 22 days of doing a few quests a grind compared to things like clearing 15 troll dungeons to purchase 1 piece of VP gear... or doing 20 battlegrounds to buy 1 piece of gear.
You expect to do each quest 1 time (maybe 30 quests total) and be rewarded with about 4-5 ilvl 365 items for your spec along with the ability to craft weapons, bags and get 5 vanity items?
Seriously, I did a troll dungeon on my healer today.. and I am now 140VP closer to the magic 2200 to buy a new chestpiece for him... and I still wouldn´t even consider that a grind.
And ironically, while doing my ´grind´quests today.. I got another one that I have never done before. Honestly, I think your complaining about the grind goes right out the window when there are very few quests you have to do more than 3 times.
But really, your original post struck a nerve with me because the devs did an excellent job with these quests to keem them feeling fresh. Unlocking different quests, and being able to do slightly different quests with alts makes it actually fun. Throw in the fact that they added about 10 different acheivements just for these quests..and you can tell them spent a lot of time trying to make it interesting... only to have someone complain about it being a ´grind´. Again, did you research what we were doing back in vanilla for the last YEAR of the game before BC?

I think MF is awesome
Why?
First off all. It is not a grind. I need somewhere 20-30 min a day to do all the dailys (PvP server)
Compare to my raid days where we had raid 3 times a week, 4 hours...I need more than a month to get all my gear
But on the other hand; i wish Blizz would put some more thinking into how to optimaze gear geting.
As a tank i will get a trinket, 2 rings (tbh 1 only; other will be VP one), wrist (but you can get VP wrist) and a relic (again VP)
Where is head? Where are shoulders? Shield mybe?

It kinda gives you a bridge until you earn the VP you need for every slot. For instance, because of MF, I know my relic slot is going to be my last VP purchase... I can get my chest and legs with VP first and still have the relic and wrist as a small VP upgrade when I have nothing else to buy. Stat wise, they are very unimportant anyway.
I think there is a powerful dev who really has it in their heads that the shoulder and head slot are too ´iconic´ to upgrade without raiding. While non-raiders will have 372s and 365s in every slot, the shoulder and head will be 353 for a long time to come. Of course, the tier 11 raids now take about as long as a troll dungeon....

I haven't seen anyone finish in 20-30 minutes... granted, I haven't started yet. But people on my friends list will be up in MF for multiple hours doing dailies on one character.
