A question to those in the alpha or beta, how much walking do you do? I can imagine some degree of boredom if I get a quest from an npc, walk three minutes, kill 10 mobs, then walk three minutes back to the npc. Any opinion on this?
If you actually get bored within three minutes of walking in WoW, I'd be pretty shocked. For starters three minutes isn't a very long time. The travel time is not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. For places further away (going from one major place to another) you will need to atleast travel once to get 'flagged' at the Gryphon Master. After that, you will be able to fly if you have the cash. Still, the run isn't bad.

If you are unable to follow a path with signs that point you to where you need to go, you have issues. I do get lost a bit but normally from wandering off the path to find herbs, then getting chased by whatever mob and finding myself in the middle of nowhere. Even then, the run still isn't bad. I'd said before, I compare the worst run to going from Nexus to Ssra - except the world is actually nice to look at, so are the mobs. Not to mention once you get to point b it isn't a huge piece of shit.

I don't see why people want to play such a huge game if they want to skip most of its content. As I've said before, PoK spoiled people, Teleports spoiled people, and people are lazy.
