    You're literally being rewarded a Legendary cloak. The BiS for the remainder of the expansion.

    I know Legion made Legendaries feel less Legendary, but may I remind you of the last time Wrathion gave us a legendary cloak, and the questline ('s length) involved for THAT one? Or WoD's rings? Shadowmourne and Val'anyr?

    And remember how only one of those upgraded weekly by finishing the raid, that one being the ring?

    The legendary tag means nothing in this case. You get it in its weakest form and it's not anything special until you upgrade it by putting in effort.

    "I would prefer a quest that is not only extremely time gated in that it takes at least a month and a half to complete, but also requires me to do obsolete raids. This is much more fun than a two-hour quest chain."

    Hmmm.

    It was still better than this spunk that resulted from co-masturbation season of these "writers".

    Also, you were working on it for the entire expansion with intermediary rewards, it was not an asspull to promote their new bullshit rng mechanic.

    You can be in a group for ALL of the scenarios.

    If you stagger your entries (wait a few seconds between) you will end up with your own magni each rather then 1.

    We had 2 Magni and they pretty much just did everything for us

    Oh shit, when I first read this thread and people said it was long, I was like "nice, didn't know they still had long cool quest chains". But.... 2 hours? That's nothing. Like dude, really nothing. That's short.

    The first time the quest doesnt feel that long, because you are engaged in it, and its not a really bad quest. Every further time, its just a long as chore. Because you dont even do much on the Quests, you can count the mobs/encounters in the Scenarios on one hand, and you are basically just walking a thousand miles.

    I´m fine with having to do a short intro quest to unlock stuff like Mechagon/Nazjatar.
    But having to spend around 3 Hours to unlock the mandatory content, feels like punishment for enjoying to play two or more characters.

    I've gotten the cloak on 4 characters so far, really doesn't feel bad at all.

    You're gonna do the assaults on your alts anyway, so doing them for the quest is fine, you can skip the two pointless scenario things, so all that you really have to do is fly around and talk to people. Then of course the BWD scenario, but considering that literally gives you the cloak that was never going to be skippable anyway.

    Welcome to WoW's playerbase where 2 hours is the end of the world for them. Alts can even skip the longest parts of it but I guess it ain't enough and everything needs to be given for no effort

    You'd already have completed the questline if you didn't waste time here making pointless QQ threads about the most insignificant things.

    I dunno why people are turning up their noses at free gear.
    The assaults take 15 mins tops if you do puzzles.

    Having 10 alts is a choice you make though, it's not a requirement or a right to have every character up to scratch with little to no effort.

    I'm only doing "assaults and other activities" on 2 characters, at least right now, the rest are mostly for bonus gold/mount attempts, and since mounts (at least right now, on EU) require only Uldum, doing the entire thing in parts, only unlocking Uldum for now, works quite well Not just time-wise, but also sanity-wise,
    If the future is female...get ready for apocalypse.

    Cho - "Go fly to the other side of the vale to get the plans"
    *fly to other side of vale and back*
    Cho - "Oh, okay, go back to the other side of the vale, the mogu were there"
    *flies back to the Mogu*
    Mogu - "Hey can do you some stuff for us...on the other side of the vale"

    Granted, that's only one isolated situation but it's still so much back and forth between places that it's terrible overall. I never want to see Halls of Origination again, alas, I have at least 3 more toons to do it on.
    Definitely, I didn't even mention how disjointed it was once you reached a zone. I don't usually peddle in the "conspiracy side", but it's possible this was done purposely to extend the time it takes to complete the 8.3 intro.
