Wow's problems are not selling max level toons....it has way to many issues for that to even be considered as a problem.

And maybe the gaming community is part of the problem. I mean everyone wants the game to be a certain way and when its not they complain. I honestly think game devs should just make a game they want and would enjoy playing instead of catering to everyone's whims

I'm reasonably sure the vast majority of very very casual players are NOT gaining an average of more than one level every 5 minutes of total playtime throughout the 1-55 leveling arc.

Just that you mentioned that leveling a char to 60 was something you seemed to have to earn pretty much explains the reason you made this thread, your sense of resentment is beyond unjustified.

BW:A wants this option available for players, and after reading some of your posts, I can't help but wonder whether you want to remove all options for every single player, just because you can't stand that not every feels compelled to walk up a steep gradient naked, dragging a boulder chained to their neck, in the blazing sun.

I don't know if you're trolling or not, but what gives you the divine right to obliterate other people's innocent fun?

I think we all know the answer to that...

Quite right, even with 12x XP it took quite a few hours for my characters to reach 55, even with skipped cutscenes.

And, as for grouping up, no-one should group up until they're confident they can do their best to carry the group if necessary; beyond that, it's nobody's business what a player does outside of a group.

I totally didn't pay attention to my typing. It's more like 6 - 8 hours with cutscenes to level per character with the XP boost.

I definitely agree with the grouping bit though - the pleasures of an MMO is that we can be ourselves and play how we like when we are playing on our own. My rules of etiquette for grouping are completely different from my rules when playing solo. I do my best to push myself to the limit when soloing. I do things as much as I can to challenge myself. When in a group, though, I prefer communication and not taking risks. I do what I can to heal the group (I always group as a healer), make sure everyone survives and communicate with everyone. It's like a complete 180 from my solo play style, yet I seem to do plenty okay in a group. Least to say, people need to worry less about how people solo and just worry about their current team as a whole and as a single unit.

Precisely, I don't care what people do when they solo; honestly, why do people have a problem with this?

However, people need to be accountable to the group and be prepared to pull their weight when in a group; so if they want to group up, they need to prepare themselves for that so that the waking nightmare that defines grouping up (at least for me, 99.99% of the time) becomes gradually diminished. Right now, the I experience only the odd defeat solo, but there have been quite a higher frequency of them in groups I've been with, and I KNOW how to play my characters.

It's funny because now after the kotfe videos have released, everyones comments are like, "these level 60's that are playing suck!" , "they don't even know how to play the game", "i hope they don't party with me", "end game is gonna be horrible with them".

It takes 4 hours to get from 0 - 55 with the boost and another couple hours to go ahead and get to 60. For me I paced myself at pone character per day and have 16 characters to 60, and I am a VERY VERY casual player. I know of many hardcore players who have 22+ characters on multiple servers all to 60 due to the boost.

If anyone has any need for a new 60 with this option, it's strictly for role-play purposes to play a race/class combination they hadn't thought about creating before the expansion.
4 hours? Right.... And I'm the Pope and cleared ToS HM in 30 seconds

Plus again not all of us like sitting around leveling as game time
And BW agrees with this sentinent so get used to it.

You haven't done that yet? Step up your game Ferk! I did it in 29.5 seconds, holding a baby, saving another from a burning building, all while eating pizza. You can't possibly let me show you up! Get to it good sir!
