If you feel that way,
why did you start an alt
? Going from what you write, it sounds like you're going to hate leveling it, and hate getting gear and rep for it once you hit 80, so why bother?
You got a point here, I agree. I too ask myself "why?". Well, because I wanted to go back to the old world and try the Druid class, that always amazed me for many reasons. I sadly really do not enjoy leveling as I imagined, I mean it's really worst than any prevision. I'll wait for chest +10% XP (new Heirloom from patch 3.2) as well as Travel Form at level 16 and so on. Today I tried to complete 2-3 collecting quests (kill xx mobs until you get yy eyeballs) and moving around without mount makes me cry like a baby.
I guess the key factor here is... fun. If I roll an alt just to force myself there's no way I'll ever feel that fun. I constantly feel like I betrayed my main and I'll live with a choppy mirror image of him :). I still have to finish Nax and start Ulduar (if I'll ever be able to PUG it, as I do not join guilds)... Plus I've read 3.2 will add more news for high-level toons (Tournament).
The point of wow really is to
enjoy playing it
, not to get all this gear and accomplishments. The gear makes the game fun, but since
the game is open ended you can do whatever
. So enjoy leveling that alt and if you want to gear him up later do so, and if not then don't sweat it and enjoy the gear on your main.
Once again, that's true. And this is why I still prefer going around the old world on my main for
achievements
(exploring, fishing, cooking, collecting recipes, reading books, completing instances, ...). I have more fun watching that banner when I fish my 5000th fish more than actually leveling a new toon. Maybe I'm just totally gone (mentally at least...).
We'll see with 3.2. So far... I thank you for the great advices (that will be safely taken into account should I try again on my Drood 15).

Another thing to do, is to embrace a new role. As thus, break it down into at least 4 roles: Melee DPS, Ranged DPS, Tank, and
Healer
. Take on a role you have not been playing. Yeah, you will have to learn the ins and outs, but it will be rewarding in the long run.
I admit it: Tree of Life along with Flight Form are 2 things I love of the druid class. I've always been a hunter so the idea of healing in hard situations ... scares me. But I agree, that could be a nice way to experiment the class once I ding 80. Of course if I'll be able to level until 80 I guess I'll do it just in cat form.
