Im already seeing lvl 85s and its only been a day? Im not bashing the expansion, I think it has alot of nice new qualities but when people can exp from 80-85 in a 24 hour period seems like this expansion was more fluff and hype.


The good stuff for me is the new reciepes sll seem to have very good stats.

All of us are on equal ground again as far as armor.

Were all noobs again for at least a couple days. ( Peerinto the waters of Farseeing-- its a gold bowl looking thing on a pedistal not that blue portal swirly thing)GAH!

I can lock myself in the basement again and ignore my wife LOL

It's not too easy for normal people who play a few hours here and there, try out the new races, and don't scurry along to the latest "max level" as though Blizzard is going hail them conquering heroes on the level of Genghis Khan because of their exploits.

As some of my friends and I were plinking along with level 5 goblins yesterday we saw a number of, "XYZ has just received the achievement of realms first level 85 Paladin" - or however the words go.

"Wonder what they are going to do now?" I asked.

"Moan and complain about nothing to do," said one.

No matter what blizzard does, people are going to go crazy and find a way to be the first in anything and everything. For some people, that is why they play the game. For other, we enjoy exporing and experiencing the new content as a slower pace. Others like to get to 85 as fast as thier play time allows so they can experience end game content.


For the people who want be the first, well congrats to them. Enjoy your fame for the 10 seconds the achievement lasts in my chat window.

Only ways to deal with this would be to implement a daily exp cap (which would make lots of people very upset) or just make the leveling time ridiculously high (which would make lots of people very upset).

The current situation is the best (only makes a few people upset).

I think its still fairly hard. mobs do hit for quite a bit more and have a lot of health. Playing to 82 so far, I am amazed how people zoomed so fast to 85. I think a lot of people already had their road map for leveling planned out

What does people leveling to 85 quickly have to do with how good an expansion is?


Cata is not to easy. Spelling is to easy.

yeah even if they made it significantly harder to get 85, people would still be doing it within a couple days. there is a line where they have to draw in order to not alienate their biggest market - casuals.


i am happy with the pace since even though i am definitely not casual, i take my time and level slowly while doing crafting, pvp, etc. in between. not to mention all the new 1-60 content.

It's funny all we heard about before the release was how the game was harder and it would scare away casual players, now we're seeing posts about how easy it is.

You can never please everyone.

i never heard that? i thought the idea was that it was too short even during beta

Well leveling was never hard IMO. However I've ran the first two new dungeons. I wouldn't call them easy.
