I'm kinda in the same boat (hence the question). I'm still interested in the story (the set up fir the expac looks promising to me) and more fractals/strikes are always a welcome addition. But because I've played for so long already, I have a lot in account value - and it's hard to get excited.

Have no answer on you question about how many shared slots are enough, but mine are filled with:
- Mystic Salvage Kit
- Copper-Fed Salvage-o-Matic
- Runecrafter's Salvage-o-Matic
- Mistlock Sanctuary Passkey
- Blue, Green, Yellow unid gear (I always keep of each in there, so all unids from all characters would go in one place)
- Season 3, 4 and Icebrood portal tomes
- Feast of Delectable Birthday Cake
- Prototype Position Rewinder
- Infinite Mist Omnipotion
I probably would like to add a waystation and at least one of the candy gobblers in there. Maybe fractal encryption keys, TP to friend and some enhancement, too.
I understand what you mean, I have the same feeling - everything is a but less vivid now.
I am no expert, but my guess that is happening because you have much more experience with the world now. As we age, the number of things that will be completely new to us becomes smaller and smaller. We just have more experience, and even if we haven't seen/felt/heard something particular, chances are, that your brain still won't be completely surprised - it will be able to find some experiences that you have which are close to that new thing.
But when you are a kid - there is a whole world of things you didn't experience at all or didn't experience enough to understand fully. That's why everything was so vivid - there was a lot of "truly" new experiences.
Same. Outfits are pretty boring (not visually - some of them are really good-looking), I actually enjoy customizing the looks of my characters.
I do wear outfits sometimes, mostly when I'm not done with gearing the character, it's low level or I need to unlock some skins first to complete the look. Otherwise, I just wear my custom mix of skins.
Nothing. I just do not want to and don't see any positives in me switching.
Good call! I still can't believe they seemingly "forgot" that leg runes existed. Two of my friends actually just finished their leg runes a month before expac announcement. They are very bitter right now (and rightfully so).
