Then again, there is another possibility. They might just bring back quest requirements for advancing your rank for secondaries sometime between now and Wrath’s launch. That might make it more of a real competition. I doubt it, though, and even if they did that, it would still be mostly arbitrary.

Anyway, as for the east coast advantage comment, didn’t they offer an electronic purchase option for BC? As in, you buy the game electronically beforehand, and your account gets access to it the second the xpac goes live?

I’m not sure the server first titles for leveling will make the live game: They seem too arbitrary or open to exploitation.
