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.
If someone is actively doing raids, the likelihood of needing VP to spend on gear at all right now is pretty low. Even the time required to rep up to the level that unlocks the gear is roughly 2 weeks.
We're in week 6 or 7 of raiding. A second raid opened up recently. Another is opening up today.
I did about 3 weeks of dailies total, and then was able to stop. All of this talk of endless dailies is just nonsense.
But if you're not doing 'real raids', just LFR, then VP is the about only way to jump the ilvl hurdle and get in. Especially for classes with no affordable crafted gear available (resto druids, unless you lose a +5% int bonus by wearing cloth)
Worse still... your chance of getting LFR loot is tied to grinding dailies, even after hitting exalted, due to the retarded charms system (you can grind dailies for an item that gives you a bonus roll on loot... epic fail!)
So far, It's the worst WoW expansion for endgame yet, by quite some way Very few 5-mans, which are now extremely unrewarding, and for everything else... sodding dailies.
Some of the class updates are cool, though. And Pandaria is a decent enough place to grind out another 5 levels. But for now, it's 'hit 90, say no to dailies, see if they fix things in the next update'...

Wrong. You've been indoctrinated.
