A few things I’ve done are to go back to old areas and try to finish up quests that I never got around to doing before. Getting rep in areas that I need for enchanting and tailoring recipie/patterns. Helping friends level up their alts. Leveling my own alts.

I am looking forward to the next expansion. I’ll have to respec to Boomkin or Feral to level up to 80, cuz DPS sucks as Resto, but thats fine. I’ll have a whole new trade to learn since my main will drop tailoring and pick up Inscription.

End game really is a social game, while leveling is easy enough as a solo player. But to say that there is nothing to do when solo is just silly. Just need to make a list of things that you want to/need to get done.

1) Farm Zaxxis Raiders in Netherstorm for Consortium rep from badges and the occasional Etherium Prison Key

2) Farm Ogres in Nagrand for Mag’Har / Kurenai Rep *and* Consortium Rep

3) Kill Bog Lords in all shapes and sizes to get Sporregar rep. Tons of motes should you be an herbalist as well…

4) Get a rare non-combat pet! Farm fireflies or Azshara Dragonkin

5) See if you can solo an old-world instance like Scholomance for fun. Bonus points if you disenchant!

6) Max out your professions. farm accordingly to do so.

7) Get all the BoP patterns for your given profession. A good place that I found that shows you where is this guild site: http://www.exodus-stormscale.com/viewpage.php?page_id=2

8) Go back to Azeroth and blow out some quests from a starting area other than your own for faction rep and other-race mounts

9) Stealth through Regular Underbog for free Sanguine Hibiscus and sometimes even a free chest. Rinse and repeat.

10) Get your instance keys for Arcatraz and Shattered Halls

11) Re-Visit rep vendors and see what you can buy from them now since you last visited them about 3 levels back

12) Farm motes in annoyingly overpopulated areas

13) Farm Scryer/Aldor rep turnin items in somewhat less overpopulated but possibly as annoying areas

That’s about all I can think of for solo… but then, since I’m a Druid, I could solo most of those “group” quests anyways when I had them, as I’m sure you are aware.

WHAT I’D BE INCLINED TO DO:

PuG, PuG, and then PuG some more in Heroics and get those badges, because there’s some darn fine loot in those instances and from the badges as you’re well aware. Rogues are even surprisingly useful for once, since CC plays such a huge role, especially if she’s lolstep-specced. Easy run for her, distract – sap – assist target of tank, repeat step 3 until pull finished! :) If there is any doubt about this – how about some of those shiny Purples she could get in heroic Ramparts (Dagger, Belt [Druidish, but hey]); Slave Pens (Leggings); Underbog (Boots, Ring); Blood Furnace (Shoulders), etc. And that’s not even mentioning the Blues (Silent Strider Knee Boots? Lolstep just got a bit more lol!)

To me, it’s a choice between mind-crushing boredom in the World of Farmcraft, or skill and gear building Fun Runs! I choose the latter. :)

Moreover, it helps the entire game by preventing these scatter-specc’d idiots who ask “wut is aggro?” in the middle of your Scholo run (yes… it has happened).

“Hard Solos”

I like to try to one-man old dungeons. It definitely adds a new degree of difficulty and fun to them. It’s especially fun with the higher-level old world content. So far I’ve done Scholo (except for Jandice Barov due to the magic-immune mobs), Strat, and most of BRD on my lock. I’ve been meaning to do more but altitis caught up to me. I still need to do Dire Maul and LBRS. Not only are these a challenge, they’re also quite profitable, especially if you’re an enchanter.

You play for so long with basically one goal in mind, and then when you achieve it, you feel a little lost and don’t know what to do next. Especially if you have been solo’ing a lot of that levelling, playing when you want and how you want, you will need quite a bit of mental adjustment to get comfortable with the different time and social requirements of group play (finding a group, doing the quests/instance runs, finding another group member when one of the first ones have to go, suffering morons, chatting with new people, and so on).

It took me about 3 chars levelled to 70 to finally get that it can be fun playing without getting any xp, you just have to set new goals, like Ngita says. Gear up from professions or rep or raiding, level up profession skills, collecting things (recipes, mounts, pets, etc), try out a new talent build…

(On a side note, since it can be a pain sometimes to get a 5-man group going, I wish there were some 2-3 man dungeons for 70’s, smaller instances with 2-3 bosses but with real not-too-shabby loot tables, and maybe the end boss could drop a Heroic Badge, or a token part that you could collect to get some nice gear item, maybe need 3 of them for a full token or so. )

Anyways, follow the excellent advice of the people here, there should be plenty of soloable quests left to do, rep grinds for some sweet rewards that you really want, and an alt or two can’t be wrong.

If all else fails, take a little break from the game until you find it fun to play again :-)
