Is it worth coming back after a year?

[Bodaway]

If you've managed to stay away for almost a year I wouldn't waste your money. I wish I could stop coming back but I always give it another month after a few months off and then get bored again and the cycle repeats.

Okay, this alone convinced me, one of my biggest complaints in wotlk and cata was the complete lack of gear progression, with HC-farms anyone could run the current version of raid without stepping into any raids before. If this gear progression is indeed true I'll buy the game first thing in the morning

I thought there was a constant gear progression until you hit the current-patch raiding in WotLK / Cataclysm? :M

Maybe it was just me but I thought the progression was stable. Still, have fun with your decision! I'd suggest warlock because of green fire.
