The review touches upon the issue of the ridiculous number of daily quests required. I've been playing MoP myself and I can confirm that Blizzard have got something very, very badly wrong here. The daily quests are too numerous, too essential and far too boring. With a small number of exceptions, they all tend to be variations on the old "kill six snow moose" themes. Except this time it's panda-mooses. And you usually have to kill more than six of them.
It's worse still if you play as a tank or healer. DPS p
Doing them all everyday will make you get burned out of them, much like if you had the option to grind heroics to get Rep. Stop forcing yourself to eat the whole thing at once or you will get a belly ache.
Do dailies in a group. Three of us only do them together. Its done in less than an hour for Lotus, Shado, August.
The gear progression is what makes old content obselete. Plus who wants to do the same thing beyond 4-6 months.
If Dailies are optional, please explain what someone that doesn't do them is supposed to do with the VP they collect from heroics, raids, and LFR.
Seriously? Valor Points buy epic raiding gear. That is why the dailies are optional - you can still get your valor points just fine through heroic dungeon runs, LFR or tagging along raids. You can get Valor Points much faster by doing the dailies along with the above-mentioned activities.
And you need faction reputation (which requires dalies) to buy that epic gear.
For example, my mage's valor point belt and pants require revered rep with the Klaxxi.
They've taken and fused together faction quartermaster gear and valor point gear. In Cata, you could collect rep and get epics (granted, first-wave epics, which were completely outclassed by gear from the halls of time heroic dungeons) from faction quartermasters or collect valor and buy from the valor vendor. Now you need to collect rep and valor to buy the gear.
It's one thing I'm rather unimpressed with this expansion.

Wrong. You've been indoctrinated.
