Archeology is way to monotonous

[catwheasle]

I loved Archi up until the repetative farming of the same items all the time. Nothing worse than running up and down the continents chasing the same items after the ninth+ time. I wish that if you have already found something then you can go and find the next, not the same time consuming and very very boring thing over and over and over.

[Ossian]

I agree, i've given up on it.

[Roreas]

I tell myself I'm going to level my Archelogy, and within minutes I already want to stop and do something else. It needs something to spice it up. Not better rewards, but... an added mechanic. It's awfully boring in its current form.

Archaeology is nothing more than a vanity profession, now. The BoA gear at 85 is already outdated, and there's really nothing else to make it a true profession.

When this expansion was released I scrambled to Archaeology in hopes of getting a Vial of the Sands recipe. After 3 months of spending hours a day grinding, I said "screw it" and never looked back. The mounts are probably the best part of the whole thing, if you have the patience for it. Aside from that, it's more tedious than fishing and less rewarding for the monotony of it all.

But then you have to get the mats! At least with fishing you hav a chance to get a turtle mount with no assembly required!!!

ive leveled my Archaeology to 525 on 1 of my 85s and i doubt i will do it again on any other, was so boring

i got excited for Archaeology before cataclysm came out, had thoughts of digsites like you see in movies etc but its just plain boring they should just remove it

[Alorn]

Monotonous as opposed to every other profession in the game? I don't get your point...

[Zoma]

About once a month, I do Arch for an hour or two on Kalimdor, hoping for a good Tol'vir rare.

[Rahynn]

I would have preferred to see Path of the Titans implemented instead of Archaeology. Or at least combine them together somehow

honestly i have no idea what path of the titans is i just read archaeology and images from movies like jurassic park and the mummy flood in

[Ghul]

archaeology is really very boring. i havent even maxed it before i dropped the profession.
maybe it would be a little better if they changed the whole "place a device and wait for the cd" to some kind of compass that lures you to the right position without having to waste time on planting those stupid devices(thats the most boring part imo).

the timesink is way too obvious on this one.

i have loved Archy, until 2 weeks ago when i totally got fed up with it by solving my 200+++++ NE item and still not having the epic trinket and after grinding for vial of the sands and the crawling hand pet for at least 3 months now. It is a secondary prof and should be boring, but archy has come to a point where it is useless. They need to fix it somehow that it at least gives a slight increase in chance that you get something new/usefull.

[TheFran]

It is boring as hell, it is a pain to level (changing the level up on dig cap from 100 to 50 was a dick move), it does not give any good gear, and for a lore profession it gives basically no lore whatsoever.

[Kolo]

I got all the achieves and then quit just like every other secondary profession.

[Heltoray]

What you seem to forget is that they just tried to squeeze something in without any effort and actual development. That's what we get nowadays- the worst profession in video game history, which actually fit pretty nice into the whole picture.

[Deleted]

I put a full 4 weeks into that trying to get the sword, and do you think I got it? Nope, but d/w I got every single pet and mount you can get from arch... useless.

[Ohforfsake]

Get drunk, problem solved.

[-Zait-]

I invested ALOT of time in Archeology, mind melting, horrible, archeology...never got that AQ mount -.-

[Wysmark]

Compared to fishing its the bomb... With fishing you have to watch the lure and be rdy to click. At least with archeo you can watch a movie meanwhile

[BelziBhaal]

Arch is such shit. They should make it that as soon as you get all the rares from a certain race, those nodes no longer spawn. That would help out a fair bit.

[Stormcall]

Yeah, it sucks. I leveled arch to max on my lock hoping for the pets and mounts. I got all pets but the Hand, and all mounts but the bug, plus the NE trinket, but then I just couldn't take it anymore.
