I feel the same way about gear this expansion. We are used to seeing BIG numbers and just as big increases as we upgrade. WoD will not feel as epic in that way as it has for years now. BUT for me.. this Garrison thing is the most interesting new feature that I am looking forward to. Im just curious how it will effect the economy. I mean you can level so fast( according to what people are saying ), it will not be to difficult for players to have enough alt garrisons to have every trade available to them. Even though you cant make "everything" with the crafting buildings..you can make "most". So how is that going to effect the buying and selling of trade goods? We will have to wait and see i guess.
