Pandaria makes me want to cry
I've lost hope in Blizzard.
Ah grow up. The Pandaren have been a part of WoW lore for some time, and personally I don't find humanoid panda-creatures as ridiculous as humanoid goats with tentacles from outer space.
And the Pokemon system is just a fun thing to do with otherwise useless pets. As I've been playing WoW, I've been thinking "this needs more minigames."
When I played Runescape, one of the best things about that game was the amount of minigames. There must have been at least 30 different ones! I've not really come across anything similar in World of Warcraft so far, except for maybe dungeons and repeatable seasonal events.
At least the pet update will add two new "minigames:" hunting and catching the pets, and battling them against someone else.
