Boiling down The Burning Crusade
The top 15 things you need to know about WoW's hot new expansion
6. Aggro control isn't just for raids anymore. Starting with the first instance in Hellfire Peninsula, bad aggro control means a wipe-tastic time for you and your soon-to-be-ex friends.
7. If you are new to a zone and have less then 18 quests there, you've missed a quest giver or two.
8. There's a quest to kill every type of monster. If you are killing things and not getting quest dings...go get the quest.
9. Drop rates still suck. Badges, tokens, beads, body parts: all the old favorites are alive and well - and yes, apparently only 20% of the wolf population has ears. Don't question it.
10. Faction reputation matters a lot. And Blizzard didn't make it any easier to get. Save the reputation turn-ins until killing mobs and finishing quests stop giving reputation.
