Anything you did previous to that expansion is irrelevant and your gear is worse than dropped greens. If I had given you a fresh 85 with MoP and a bag of green gear, you would have likely been more ready for the expansion than under "normal" circumstances. <br /><br />This is just a logical step for Blizzard. One I think speaks volumes about the dev team and their ability to build large scale, integrated worlds.

The free level 90 character can be used to buy multiple accounts, but the cost is huge, $90-$120 for on level 90. <br /><br />It therefore makes sense to have a shortcut that costs $15-$50, and Blizzard will create far more demand for the process. <br /><br />I have 11 max level characters at present and I have no complaints about people short circuiting the process. I enjoyed the levelling and I have more time than money to spend $50 on a few pixels.<br /><br />One alternative to the "Go directly 90" would be to pay for additional 10 levels. Do you really want to the Outlands again, here is $10 to avoid the content or $10 for 5 Levels of Cataclysm or MoP.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475673092257340904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-87546352195467453722013-11-15T03:34:10.178-08:002013-11-15T03:34:10.178-08:00I think there's a fourth hand: Blizzard wants...I think there's a fourth hand: Blizzard wants to play Oz, as in "don't pay attention to that expac over there".<br /><br />If you don't level, you don't realize how messed up the storyline is in the leveling experience.<br />Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-869422952163710712013-11-15T03:20:23.643-08:002013-11-15T03:20:23.643-08:00If they provide a shortcut than they have no excus...If they provide a shortcut than they have no excuse to have people outlevel the zones: make the leveling based on the questline advancement and not the "XP" (this could be hidden in dynamical XP adjustment for the quests). This makes everyone happy, you get to level doing full zones and I get to raid without bothering with killing 10 rats one million times.Helistarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435861741164342377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-49203314187567398872013-11-14T23:26:51.849-08:002013-11-14T23:26:51.849-08:00I think they already said that it will be a charac...I think they already said that it will be a character service (since on the other hand there was the "shortcut" of buying a new wow account and merge the character to your 1st account, that was the excuse they(GC) gave anyway).<br />Either way i do miss the old levelling experience so much that i now can only find it on private servers etc. They have a tremendous opportunity now to give some of it back to us alt junkies :)jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18324395149598352179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-18700387502788864592013-11-14T23:04:45.378-08:002013-11-14T23:04:45.378-08:00The way I see it they should just make both sides ...The way I see it they should just make both sides happy. Let people who want to level do so without massive artificial acceleration, but give people who don't a means to level up alts faster. My preferred idea is a Valor Point item that grands a level on use up to 90 or something. Or they could sell it as a service, but I'd much prefer to be rewarded for playing :\Clockworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565064315360664711noreply@blogger.com
