Ennui

I think I'm entering the ennui phase of the game. I'll admit that the novelty factor of the game kept me interested, but as of now, I'm exploring the same locations as I've been in for a while (or, I'm starting to notice that many of the locations are one-trick-ponies and at a certain level they all look similar). I'm doing the same types of quests. The PH4T L00T isn't really keeping me interested--not that it was a source of questing for me anyway; I was always a quester of opportunity--and I'm just at the point where I'm grinding for the XP.

I refer to my earlier post about requiring an insider to level efficiently. Stumbling through this game (even though I know the mechanics) just because I don't know exactly which instances drop the good loot or the efficiency of a certain long questline is not any way to play WoW. It's frustrating, boring, and alienating.

I reiterate: I'm kind of bored. I'll get to 40 and work on my skinning skill, as that lets me visit areas I haven't seen in a while (starting areas, or areas heavily populated with skinnable mobs).
