I made a shaman somewhere around Friday, he is now lvl 45. I was in my mid 20's after 6-8hrs /played, still doing Loch Modan quests, which had been grey for 5+ levels. Imagine if I had changed zones to keep my quests yellow/orange, I would be 60+ by now.


Ridiculous...


The topic has turned into discussion of people now, not the issue at hand.


Locked.

That is your opinion.

Your opinion is wrong.

That is all.

I agree it's fun and maybe too fast and it's gonna feel like you hit a brick wall when you make it to outlands and have to pick up poop again in Nagrand for the 10th time

I was also dreading doing the same quests AGAIN on my new frost mage. Then, I decided frost mages are generally pretty good in PvP, I wonder how fun he is? So I went into the WSG call to arms and won the first round I was in. As a reward, I got basically an entire level!! Screw questing, I will be doing BG's and DF until I get bored of them. I don't know what my rested XP was or even what the call to arms does to XP (I know it doubles honor), but the BG XP was sick if you win. I hate questing, so this is a very welcome surprise.

I disagree. To me, it is just right and I actually like the fact that there are 4 progression paths to get to level 40 and then 3 to 55 and a 2 to 60, making it so that I can play a few more characters to 60 and not get sick of repeate content.Â


Also keep in mind that for many of us raising alts, we just don't want long progression times.


In the past I did NOT do alts BECAUSE it was a long progression time.Â

Keep in mind that 60-70 had been reduced so it is much faster than original TBC content, and that 60-70 weighs differently than 1-60. The same is true for 70-80 content and 80-85 content.

Like I've stated many times, I think literally millions of players are going to end up very disappointed and park their new toons at 60 or 61 when they hit the same old outlands crap all over again.

Those looking forward to worgen will be the most bitter of all when they find out that the "worgen experience" ends at level 12, about a hour of play.


All this rehashing of the old zones was great at and all, but all the "new" 1 to 60 stuff is about a day or two worth of playing for millions of veteran players, then its back to the same.


A year from now, this xpac is going to be "reviewed" as a huge recycle job and not as much of an "expansion" as previous ones.

I think you're looking at it from a "task to be completed" perspective, I'm looking at it from an "enjoy the journey" perspective. I'm getting the feeling that there is no journey anymore in WoW, it's all about max level. Which completely defies the purpose of a role-playing game.

I shouldn't be more than halfway to level cap in 3 days of casual playing...
