Got my DK to 85 and quit.



Heh, I got my Priest to 85 and quit. I picked the WRONG class to start the expac off with, for sure.



You did better than me, got my priest to 82 and unsubbed.



My main from WOTLK was a priest...

I got 83 and promptly quit, due to the healer changes.

I never even tried healing, lol...started questing as shadow and disgust settled in.

I don't think starting with the water zone helped either tbh.

I got my Hunter, Paladin, Druid and DK to 85 then quit. I then came back for Firelands, brought all 4 through the intro quest and started the dailies on my Hunter.

After getting 150 after 150, only to open more dailies and not really getting much, I bagged it. What a f*cking waste. Unsubbed...

WotLK was so much better than this, I actually enjoyed the Argent Tournament stuff. Pfft.

It's just as well as I got into the SWTOR beta, so I'm busy with that.

Another "one toon to 85 and out" here. Rather go to the dentist.

I want to make sure I am reading this right, take the Rogue 29.56% for example, does that mean that 70.44 percent of the level 80 Rogue population in Wrath never bothered to progress to 85?

If this is true those stats are abysmal and should be a slap in the face for Blizzard, I would think heads should be rolling over it.

Yes, you are reading it right.

There is certainly an epic amount of fail in Cata but this isn't the way to measure it. At the end of LK, I had 6 80's. I leveled one to 85 and then took a break. I recently came back and leveled a second. That still leaves 4 sitting at lvl 80 that contribute to the numbers above. I would imagine this same trend occurs in the life of each expac at varying rates. There are so many other easy targets of Cata fail that this does nothing to support.

I think these numbers show a few things about Cataclysm

1. Cataclysm has much less replay value than WotLK. Once you've leveled a toon from 80-85 once you've pretty much seen it all, regardless of faction.

2. Cataclysm is much less alt friendly than WotLK once you reach endgame. Pretty much everything at endgame is a chore and trying to do it on more than one character is nuts. Cat's endgame is just too damn time consuming.

3. Characters are so incredibly homogeneous that there's no reason to roll alts. Why go to all the effort of leveling another character if they're basically the same as the ones you already have?

Well they did add a lot of new low level content, so I imagine a lot of altoholics are rerolling, not leveling to 85.
