I'm just not mustering up the motivation to run the same few dungeons over and over in normal mode, just so I can run them over and over in heroic mode to get a sub par set of gear.


I think the thrill is gone.

Fun is in the learning and the attempted mastery.

It's actually even a little worse than that. Because JP items currently match the heroic tier (as opposed to being spent on higher tiers as we progress) and because there is no out expenditure for the points (think gems, or honor, or rep), you bloat on JP and gear quickly, making already tedious heroic runs even less appealing.

But that will change as the patches progress, in theory.

Hell, last night I took my 80 priest herbing in Vash, did some ramparts runs with my 62 pally healer, and healed heroic HoO with my shammy. By far, the least fun was had on my shammy, which saddened me a little bit.

I almost wonder if part of the problem is that Bliz did too good a job of providing players with stuff do all the way up to the end of WotLK (relatively speaking).

People came in to Cataclysm having been playing a lot the previous 6 months (instead of coming off a 1-6 month break or something), and so now burnout is setting in rather quickly.
