I thought you guys might like to see some of the Burning Crusade loot that I have been able to pick up and or catch a glimpse of in my forays thus far...
Quote:"After running Ramparts, I turned in a quest back at the Alliance town, Honor Hold, and the blue boots (20 agility, 28 stamina, 38 attack power) I got from that quest were better than my Bloodfang Boots. Let me break down my reaction to that:
* 0.0sec - 3.0sec: "Oh sweet, a new pair of boots!"
* 3.0sec - present: "Why did I spend six months of my life running Blackwing Lair every week to get these Bloodfang Boots if they're going to be replaced by the very first instance quest in BC?"
So that brings me to the part about the Burning Crusade that I kind of love but mostly hate -- everyone is back to square one. Doesn't matter if you're in a cutting-edge Naxx guild; all your gear's getting replaced sooner rather than later. The only difference between you and a freshly-minted 60 in greens and blues is that you'll get to 70 a few hours quicker.

I like the idea that smaller guilds and alliances can get the very best stuff now, too, instead of always playing second fiddle to those able to form 40-man raids, just because they can't get the numbers. That never sat well with me.
