I like those ideas! I do enjoy archaeology, but it could have an awful
lot more added to it in my opinion. Wandering round the world digging
is kinda relaxing when I'm not doing much anyway, but it's a bit
repetitive too, more details to it would be great. Never really
understood why you couldn't turn drops in to archaeology trainers for
rewards or something, instead of treating them as vendor trash!

Well, a couple more things got added, couple of pets and a shield, but
thats about it. And I can't even get the nice BoA epics to drop; got
two of the rings (um, between Headless Horseman and Molten Front,
guess what I've got plenty of, at a higher ilvl...) and that's all.
Couple of alts could use the staffs or my paladin will lvl into the 2h
sword or shield but no luck. Could use some more stuff in 4.3, it's
been very quiet for a long time; I rather think the last additions
were in 4.1 rather than 4.2.

Can understand that - I do enjoy it but then it gives me an excuse to
fly around the world, look at areas I don't usually visit, pick a few
herbs or mine some ores, just beats standing in Org being bored for
me! I'd be very happy if they added more depth to it though, it's
always felt a bit half-finished.
