I won't really go into what I did but rather the net results as I believe it highlights the major issue with wow currently. I heard of a way to bypass the largest time gate involved with preparing a new character for end game content. In effect it makes it so the only thing you need to concern yourself with is gearing up rather then wasting time with the games alternative power systems (barring shards of domination).
The result has been me finally having an alt I can enjoy playing and am rapidly progressing with in content I enjoy... It leads to me ask the question. If these grind systems get in the way of a players enjoyment why are they part of the game at all? I know what I did isn't intended and am sure it will be hotfixed soon so I have to consider doing it again as I want one more alt but it feels silly that I have to look for ways to break the game to get the experience I want.
