Re: new gaming systems/world's, have you seen Blue Rose by @GreenRoninPub? We're going to do that with the kids once we're done with this D&D module we're doing as their intro to table top RPGs. https://greenroninstore.com/collections/blue-rose … (the dead-tree version is on sale, too!)

Re: leveling -- it's odd that doing all 4 zones didn't take you to 110. At the start of Legion about 3.25 zones took me to 110, with no dungeons... Also I agree that the AP scaling is insane, but I suspect it's a holdover from the start of the expac. The system hasn't aged well.

Also re: mobile veggie vending truck: in the US we have many urban poor who cannot get fresh food very often because they can't afford to get to grocery stores on a regular basis. If this was cheap enough and/or took benefits cards, it would be a huge health boost

Time Walking has generally only been for dungeons. I think Ulduar is the second raid that they have released that implements Time Walking, following on from Black Temple

Also, Molten Core is a raid, so, in theory, would not be affected by personal loot being introduced for all dungeons. Farming raids for transmog should not have changed, apart from Ulduar, of course
