I like the change to focus effects. Isn't this a good time to consider making the mythical buff a little easier to obtain at least for alts?
The story lines of the epic quests are very good, but I think some of the faction building is a bit outdated. For example my new assassin needs Terrens Grast/Rillis/Reet faction, that is over 100 quests which are not at all relevant to a level 90 anymore.
