I'll say I think this is the best pre-patch event they've had in several expansions. I'm by and large enjoying it

Knowledge is power, and power corrupts. So study hard and be evil.
If invasions where everywhere:
- I hate the event I can't lvl without finding demons and green shit worst event ever.
- I don't like the event I can't farm the AH in peace.
- I thing the devs have no idea for making people play in all zones now I can't farm alone.
- I can't stay AFK in city because I find my toon dead to an invasion lol bullshit event.
- I wanted to create 35 alts during this 3 weeks but invasions screw me, pleasse make invasions only afect 6 zones or so.
- Lol invasions are only in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms they could make invasions in all zones of Northrend and Pandaria.
QFT.
The legion might be invading but this is just a pre patch. It's made to give people the feeling that legion is coming closer because new shit is happening every week. It's not an expansion in itself and it shouldn't need that many resources put into it(imo). I'm happy knowing legion is right around the corner
Yeah we wouldn't want that army trying to destroy our planet to be intrusive. Sitting afk in org spamming trade chat must not be interrupted!
Seriously though, a few crybabies being inconvenienced is fine, world events like this are supposed to be epic and that includes affecting cities and shaking things up.
It does not matter what they do or give us, there will always be someone on the forums saying "Don't take me for a whiner but they could have done better".
They could litterly give you a million bucks and someone on the forum will say "Why not 2? They have the money so why not?".
So don't get me wrong and take me for a whiner but you could have just not made this whine post.
You can't invade the main capitals because they're faction specific. Three invasions in Orgrimmar in a row, Alliance players would bitch.
And you can't invade all neutral zones because they're pretty scripted and had effort put into it. For example, in Tanaris, a Bronze Dragonflight dragon comes and time freezes them for a while. That's some neat and immersive scripting right there - doing that for all zones would be annoying.
Seriously, they have already put a very impressive amount of effort into an event that only lasts less than a month.
I'll pass on the capital city invasions, previous worl events that took place in them were nothing but a pain. Capital cities are first and foremost a safe refuge for players.
This event is fun. Sure maybe it's getting bit repetetive now but still it's fun. And week later we got new quest chain with Dalaran. I guess we will get one more quest chain or something new next week.
Have you ever had a tank pull one of the invasion bosses inside:
- Any building in Tarren Mill?
- Any building in Sentinent Hill?
- Any building in Kharanos?
It looks preety ridiculous.
Do you imagine how that would be with the multitude of buildings/obstacles in those zones?
Invasions are pure crap, as they virtually shut down the area for more than an hour, and players there cannot kill mobs and do quests.
As you said yourself, other people will complain. Even now, with the "other" event that could happen in the main city, people still complain about it. I think Blizzard decided to just move it out of the main city. It also makes it easier for the other factions to assist since they are stressing on co-operations.
I am sure if they allowed other factions in, some will use the opportunity to gank the NPCs.
Invasions are the most fun Ive had in wow in over two years. Ive gotten all my characters to 700+ and the pvp is pretty good at times.
They already do that in the zones that they do happen in. People come in flagged looking for easy kills and the flight masters are almost always dead at the end of it which makes moving to be next one hard on lowbie toons. No thanks to the auctioneers being dead all the time if they happened in the cities. Heck the dread lords alone make the major cities org and sw tough enough
What is underwhelming is the gear offering. With most even semi competent players well over 720 by now the items dropped in the invasions are underwhelming at best. I lean more towards insulting. Add to that a starter quest with a really neat set of gloves that will do extra damage to demons. Oh wait they are 685 and I would need to give up my heroic or better tier in order to use them. Soooo are invasions simply for noobs?
There is no Bad RNG just Bad LTP
Welcome to WorldofCasualCraft... where invasions of demonic forces are cool, so long as they aren't intrusive ^_^

And with the ridiculous XP slash and burn, the majoirty of sub 100's have realized its a waste of time
it makes sense when warcraft has headed the direction for years, what with preferring conformity over advancing social experiences.
