@zanderax drop me a PM with your MSN or email details, I'll be emailing some more specific questions to those who were interested.
@HDPhoenix aww man! ask him to consider horde! heh.
And yea WOTLK dungeons were pretty easy, are pretty much for you to do dailies and whatnot.
Even the raids were pretty easy, just that heroic modes stepped it up a notch (which according to Blizz was how they intended it to be, they wanted the general raid content to be accessible for casuals, but challenging for hardcore raiders)
And yup I heard the dungeons/raids were more unforgiving now, which is precisely why I wanted to check it out again
But.. one month and only half epicced on PROT pally?? Is loot harder to come by these days or something? Or do you play very rarely.
('prot' is capitalized because tanks generally get their loot due to less competition)
@Dox
I don't really care about anything else besides end-game content. I'm not a huge RPG fan who loves and enjoy the leveling/questing experience as much as you do.
Yes, FW can be >> WoW in all of these aspects, and so far all the positives you've been giving are related to questing/leveling/instancing.
Simply put, all these are irrelevant to me; If I were rich I'd just buy a level 85 account and play from there, as end-game content is all I care about. I'm a simplistic player. :/
But still, I thank you for your effort to explain and promote the game Appreciate it.

Not sure where that interpretation came from but anyway!!
As for your comment to Phoenix re: 1month/half epic, it is surprising. I managed to get my Prot Pally alt in full ilvl 346 gear (Heroic blues, min requirement for raids) within 2 days of hitting 85, and picked up ~8 epics in PUG raids the same week. Would have been completely decked within another 2 weeks with badge gear filling any necessary gaps.
Still, it takes a lot longer to get your hands on purples than WotLK. Grinding badge & Baradin gear will only fill out half of your slots, and with the 10/25 raids sharing the same lockout, you have less options as well. It's actually pretty goddamn painful if you're not a Tank or a Healer.

I wished I had your time =). I barely complete the 7 ZA/ZG lock outs for valor badges and I had bad luck on the drops. T___T And the PvE is mainly to swap the points out for Conquest points since I mainly wish to PvP. No one wants to do simple arenas with a gear-less healer.
Having said that, I did manage to go 5-1 with a random hunter (who was also gearless, lulz) and got to 610 rating then he bailed and I never saw him again. WTB arena partner, pst..
