I kind of gave up on WoW for a while (again), mostly because of a combination of boredom and work. I think the legendary cloak thing just irritated me because of the poor design: the only real way to get past around rank six it to go with a group, but the only people who want a rank six cloak person are those who are around the same level. Many weeks into an expansion, that's effectively nobody (I keep trying in LFG) and so I just gave up.
I restarted my efforts around eight or nine days ago after deciding to finally get enough gear, essences, azerite traits, corruption etc. to be able to consistently do mythic plus dungeons. I don't have the uninterrupted time to raid right now but M+ is doable, and the whole game feels so much more fun when you have good gear.
Anyway, I paid gold for two M15 runs and two 5-mask runs to get quickly back up to speed and my cloak is at rank 10 now and I've mostly figured out all the essences and things that I need to be semi-competent. My gear went from about 440 to 456 in a week (without any raiding) and I'll try to get a normal or heroic run in next week to round things out.
I've picked up a lot of random achievements - for example, I did three mythic island expeditions (extremely easy now) plus a variety of mythic dungeons (some of which I'd yet to complete in heroic). The 5-mask runs of both Orgrimmar and Stormwind both led to an absolute ton of achievements too.
Lots of small housecleaning tasks as well, like finally emptying out my bags and bank and auctioning as much stuff as I could. I've probably make 300,000g this week from junk in my bank - the new auction house is SO much better than the old one in terms of being able to list things easily and quickly. I remember literal hours spent in TSM daily cancelling and relisting stuff.
Anyway, when I get my next chest on Tuesday, I'll take stock and see how far I've come, and whether or not I'm able to do M+ at a decent level or not.
