Yah, probably the most annoying thing you will ever have to do pre-Burning Crusade is walk around. It takes inane amount of time and it gets boring. Once you hit Burning Crusade level, you will wish the maps were larger because everything is so beautiful there.

I don't really care what my character looks like, so I don't really complain about it. But if you think about it, it is impossible to have a game with a wide variety of looks. There's always a set or armor that's really good that everyone will want and as such, they will look the same. Worse yet, there may only be one set of armor for a certain level character and that all of these characters are only a single gender, and the same looks because the developers were too lazy to get their artists to make more than one avatar.

I consider myself lucky because I spent a good 5 days playing the Auction House game to get myself the 5k G I needed to buy my epic flying mount. It took a good minute to find epics on the auction house and resell them for 500 G more than I paid. Also, because it's on the Auction House, I didn't need to spend a day sitting in front of it actively selling it. Instead, I could go do other things.

When I hit 70, all I had to do was get attuned for Karazhan and I was allowed to go with my guild because we had a grand total of three healers, a Paladin, Shaman, and me, a Priest. So when any healing gear dropped, it would go to one of us and we didn't have to fight over anything because the Paladin gets all the plate, Shaman gets all the mail/leather, and I get all the cloth. In three raids, I was nearly epic'd out. I'm glad I didn't decide to play a dps class who have to constantly fight over gear they want. My friend has been raiding for months but he's never gotten the item he's wanted because he's always had to fight with a hunter for it. But he isn't really mad that he can't get gear because he's enjoying the game.
