I agree llama64 it does and it doesn't. It is great that you can log in and instant pug a 5 man, or a BG, or do very little searching for a raid if your gear is good enough. So you can play without a guild, but it is a lot more fun with friends than without, for sure.
IliketoPuck it will still be a grind fest, this is WOW. It will always be about gear, has been from day 1, nothing will change in that aspect.
I actually enjoy the leveling in WOW though, I hate gear treadmill though which is what makes me quit every time. I find that casual PvP in last seasons gear though you can still compete and have fun. This is what I plan to do in Cataclysm. There is no way you can play this game casually though and have the top gear, I have come to terms with that though and I am happy running sub par gear.
