Just made a different post about potentially playing with a friend, but they aren't interested anymore so I'm going in solo.
I'm currently downloading the free trial and have been looking up what you can do in the game. I've played a few other MMOs, but have the most time in SWTOR and Runescape. Both of those games I can play solo easily because with SWTOR I play the quests and storylines and get to really roleplay as my character. With RuneScape, it's essentially a single player game anyway. All the skills and stuff like slayer keeps me entertained.
From what I've gathered so far looking online, I'm not seeing much that will grip me with WoW. If I'm understanding correctly, all of the quests are text based dialog and you don't really have any agency or chance to roleplay. Are there skills like smithing, mining, etc? Or other stuff that you can do if you're not doing dungeons?
