During my long-time investment in World of Warcraft I have noticed one thing: More women care about how their characters look than men do. This holds true with my wife and I, or it did until recently. All of my characters are high-level so they don't have much to do besides make money for me. I've found that I've been increasingly disgusted with their outfits. My mage's robe was hideous, my warlock's tunic was the same, my hunter's weapons looked silly.

So what happens when your high-level characters have all reached the point where you don't have much left to do? Well apparently you start nit-picking everything. I happen to have purchased an epic flying mount for my mage just recently. The outcome? All of my characters are going to require an epic flying mount simply for east-of-use. More than anything else.

I've also started doing my daily quests on all three of my 70's. That has increased my gold income exponentially. So has anyone else ran into these issues? Am I getting to the end of life for WoW or do I just need another alt?

Speaking of flying mounts, the buzz is that we won't be able to use them in Northrend until a certain point. I have an idea for blizzard: Make it unlockable just like the Sunwell. That way you won't be able to fly around in a zone until you've worked to destroy the flights of gargoyles that patrol the skies or quell the raging storm high in the sky. That way it feels like an achievement, everyone wins, and blizzard gets their content explored the way they want it to be explored. Until then, ground our flying mounts and at least let us ride them on the ground.
