if farming is boring ... dont you want something fun..?

@ heha : Farming is boring, no doubt about that but what can make it less boring could be the end result gleaned from all that farming. (PVP events with non vip gear as stated above). Unless you can farm for upgrades to your vip gear i dont see how farming can be of interest to donors. Im suggesting something different from farming to do in icecold wow that would be much more fun. @Space: I know that this isnt ewow. Just giving an example of what made ewow so fun and active. We do not need BGs or arenas up immediately. GMs can actually host non vip gear pvp events anywhere. Just need a stated venue with enough space. We can start off small by giving out simple stuff like vote items and progressively (hopefully) get to bigger, more enticing rewards. Maybe not purchase items, but maybe stuff like currency which could be exchanged for non vip gear (rings, trinks , weps) could be implemented. Thats the main problem i guess, once you reach the milestone of being fully-geared the game is essentially over. Im trying to provide a suggestion to create progression for players who are fully geared non vip wise. I honestly feel that people gear up for the sole purpose of non vip gear PVPing. That is the end goal in icecold wow. Why else would you spend so much time and effort to farm for gear? In ewow i was gearing up my toons just to take part in these events to earn currency( for vote items, gear). I dont see the point of continually adding new dungeons for people to farm if there is no benefit gained from all that farming, some non vip people might be put off by the increasing difficulty of future dungeons which could only be completed with donor help. There is a huge difference between normal pvping in the arena as compared to pvping in an event whereby everyone is just watching you and your opponent duke it out to win some reward. As least it felt that way for me.

my god do you guys like to farm forever??? jesus...

This is purely my personal opinion, any form of criticism is welcomed, except for loboz. Loboz is cancer. I dont know if its just me but ewow has gotten really boring once u are over the intial excitement of farming for new gear. Ive noticed many people with VII sets just sitting around in arena doing nothing much. Maybe just pvp a few non vip-people with similar gear or get owned really hard by donors in the arena. That pretty much sums up the current lifestyle for people who are fully or nearly fully geared. For me as a donor, all i do is just kill CP, maybe run a few non vips when i feel like it or just pvp other high donors to annoy the crap out of them. That pretty much sums up what i do in ewow. I dont have any motivation to gear up an alt. Currently for me, i feel that farming for non vip gear in icecold WOW is really pointless. I feel that once u are fully geared, your avenues of fun in ewow are greatly diminished. Ewow feels stagnant. I think that the devs ought to reward players who actually put that much effort into farming and actually provide an avenue for them to have fun with all their farmed gear. One way could be the introduction of arenas or bgs whereby rewards can be earned for actually being victorious or earning high ratings. One reason why i found the now defunct ewow so much more fun and cohesive was that the GMs frequently hosted such events. BGs or PVP events whereby the rewards were actually worth participating for (e.g currency III for OP-ed gear). There was also a strict restriction that only non vip gear was allowed and there was a HP cap. These events often had a relatively high participation rate and provided a refreshing experience from just simply sitting in the arena doing nothing much. I have many fond memories of the adrenaline rush of topping kills in a BG or winning a pvp event against nightgoblinn or identify. There was a real, intense rush to gear up via first kills DAILY and i could sense that it was much more competitive in ewow. Everyone was competing fiercely to achieve as much first kills as possible. Everyone was voting daily. Everyone wanted to max out their non vip gear to pvp to earn worthwhile rewards. Log in an hour after first kills started and i can assure you there would be no bosses left untouched. If non donors feel that there was an avenue for fun and progression after all that farming, it would certainly make ewow much more sustainable and less dull. People actually do want to farm for a reason, ie take part in events to earn WORTHWHILE rewards (examples could be maybe transmog tokens, gift certificates for their donor toons, visual effects,custom titles, gear reskins, custom bags). Let me know what you guys think, any feedback or criticism is welcomed.
