WoW's Timeless Isle had a lot of faults, but even then it had solid rewards for the grind. Must have been like, 20-30+ minions from various sources, at least 3 mounts, about 20-30+ toys and fun items, a 300% exp potion, decent catch-up gear, an optional free-for-all PvP mechanic and 5 world bosses that dropped raid gear and 2 piece tier. The reputation grind could be done in less than a week in a group. And timeless Isle wasn't great.

This is Timeless Isle stripped of most rewards and the grind multiplied times 10.
