WowInsider reports that Wrath of the Lich King will let you play fetch with your pets.  Sure, WoW’s non-combat activities are fairly paltry.  On the other hand, Blizzard just keeps adding little bits here and there.  Furthermore, even WoW’s combat activities retain little to no similarity to the leveling game.

What’s the purpose of 80 levels of grinding in order to get more pets to play fetch with?  What’s the rationale behind a level 58 requirement to watch an in-game stand-up routine?  If they implement player housing, will there be a PvP rating requirement on some of the flashier couches?  A 100+ hour barrier to playing with your friends has always seemed steep, but at some point the barriers of a conventional MMO just start to seem unfathomably bizarre.
