Got a very brief look at the first zone near the portal, it is stunning. I haven't been keeping tabs on the expansion outside of some of the changes to PvP like CC and the stat squish. So right now it is really feeling like a fresh new game. Sadly my realm is in the high thousands of queues, and I am not sure when I will be able to get my teams in to start levelling.

Has anyone been able to confirm that you can still do the quests in a raid group?

And I think my only gripe would be the reliance on these Garrisons. I like the idea, but being forced to use them as a boxer seems too tedious for my liking.
