Just wanna throw in my 2 cents. Excellent post. But the one thing above all else that make me weep with joy after playing WoW ... Travel Powers. I don't care which. After WALKING down the Barrens for the 20th time, I would have killed to get sprint, much less super speed. The design decision to allow players to fly anywhere and to be able to get from point A to point B quickly may seem simple, but is so rare in other MMOs. Getting a horse after 40 levels of game play in WoW seems like a sick joke compare to SuperJump at lvl 14.
