So this guy wants free lv 80s and free top-tier epics. Don't we all. Unfortunately for him, everybody else knows that having the gear doesn't mean shit if you don't know how to play the goddamn game.
Besides... deliberately slow pace? That's even funnier. Blizzard's been rushing people to the new levelcaps ever since TBC. If it takes you more than a month to level your character from 1 to 80, you're either doing it wrong or deliberately slowing yourself down for some reason.

Yes, vanilla was a slow grind. No, I didn't play it. I did, however, play in TBC before they cut the required exp to level. 1-44 in about two, two and a half months of casual play, deliberately slowing myself down by stopping at levels 29 and 39 to do battlegrounds in those brackets for a week or two.
Anyone who just wants to power through to high-level content can easily do it in 30 days now.

Totally. Hell, there are guides dedicated to leveling you in the fastest manners possible (though the few I've seen are often specific to a class or side).
The problem is, even if you CAN level that fast, most newbies likely SHOULDN'T, partly because they should get a better grasp of the game before getting the fancy-shmancy things and partly because they're more likely to miss out on what is fast becoming the foundation for any MMO: SOCIALIZING.
Seriously, the game is a thousand times more fun and interesting when you've got friends. Shit, the primary reason I quit the private server I'd played on before was because all of the friends I'd made left or had their schedules rearranged so I couldn't play with them. :blue:
In fact, the reason I'm playing NOW is because I was motivated to return by some friends who'd picked it up recently or quit and have returned. We're all in various stages of learning for the game, and it's a ton of fun.
Though, I'm not sure how serious I'm going to be about raids yet... Probably won't even consider those until I've got at least two alts to 80.

As for the king of morons suing Blizzard: BOO-FUCKING-HOO! EVERY RPG has had faster modes of transport that are unlocked during progression. The reason? To keep the stupid newbies from getting into areas that'll fucking murder them so fast, it would be equivalent to watching a youtube poop video about a guy getting hit in the balls set to various memes.

Suing Blizzard is the "in" thing to do now. It looks like the biggest and fattest kid on the block. What these idiots fail to realize is that Blizzard is the goddamn Kingpin of MMORPG games. What looks like fat is steel cord of rabid lawyer muscle that is sleeping and dreaming of assreaming somebody for the lulz. Eventually Blizzard and Activision will decide to make an example out of someone. I am greatly looking forward to reading about that one day.
P.S. I'm really hoping those someone will be those World.com tools. Go read up on it.

I levelled a pally to 60 in about a month of playing (played about 6-8 hours a day) back in vanilla WoW, when BWL was still the hardest raid in the game (I rejoiced when I hit 50, so I could holy-wrath AoE farm WPL). That 6-8 hours includes my raiding time, so, to be honest, levelling wasn't that hard. That guy's just a pansy who can't play.
And yes, it really was a paladin. You know, back when reckoning was fresh out of the one-shot world-bosses mode, and warriors had linked 30-minute cooldowns. I miss vanilla WoW. Sitting with my hunter and spamming aimed shot and serpent sting as the only spells and STILL topping the DPS charts was awesome.
Ah, the days when Rhok'delar was still epic. Before normalisation.

Ya know what I miss? Rolling ignites. That wonderful, glorious fire mage e-peen wankfest that turned fellow mages into bitter enemies and rivals.
With all the homogenization these days and downplay of any really unique abilities, all the competition revolves around the boring dps meter. Back in the old 40-mans though, watching every (usually 8) mage in the raid burn combustion to try and get that first crit and ignite tic...now that was fun.
Pfft, hunters could only top meters 'til their mana ran out. And yeah, Rhok and the stick were epic. Never got one myself, but I helped out on a few. Epic class quests like that were truly the stuff of awesome.

Assuming it didn't get resisted (still laugh my ass off remembering the sheer hatred hunters poured into vent when their feign failed), and that ya actually had time to feign and drink. It wasn't an issue with a tank n'spank like old-school Patchwerk, but say...C'thun or Thaddius? Not gonna happen with all the randomly targeted shit flying around or transitions.
