I find myself in an interesting kind of conundrum with Warlords of Draenor. For the first time in five expansions, I am going through the leveling process without any real goal in mind at the end of it all. Every other expansion to date has been a rush of leveling with my friends to get to max level to begin the dungeon and heroic dungeon grind and prepare to quickly start raiding as soon as possible. However, I stepped down from raiding full time at the end of Mists of Pandaria -- I kind of needed that time for other projects, and now that I have that time, I'd like to keep it open for future work.

That's all well and good, but ... I hit level 100 the other day on my rogue, and am suddenly confronted with the question of what to do now. Gearing up seems like a good idea, except I won't be doing any really hardcore raiding this time around. Missions and squirreling away materials for work orders and managing my buildings have all been keeping me entertained. But I'm still kind of at a loss as to whether I'm, for want of a better term, "doing it right." When you're raiding, there's a pretty set structure to what happens when you hit max level, and that structure no longer applies now -- it's gone.

While it might sound like a silly problem to have, I do like knowing what I'm doing, and I don't like the odd sensation of having little to no direction what so ever. So I'll ask you guys, because I'm sure we've got the entire gamut of players reading the site -- what are you guys doing at level 100? Are you focusing on gear? Is there a particular thing you're focusing on right out the gate, like collecting stuff, clearing dungeons, finishing off achievements, grinding reputations, or something else? Do you guys have any habits you've acquired over the years, when it comes to finally hitting max level?
