Cataclysm = 1 week max level?..

SO here's my thing thats actually dampering my want to come back to WoW when Cataclysm hits ... with each new expansion for the game, the leveling seemed to be easier and the quests seemed to give a lot more experience for such little amounts of work; So does that mean that now they are redoing the whole beginning of the game, that getting from 1-60 is going to be lolololololfast ? ..
Just curious; I like some sort of challenge, but when i can go from 60-80 in 5 days? .. that's a little bit ridiculous.

Get over it already.

A week maybe less for some, but i'd say around a month for almost everyone else (80's). After that it's gonna be what ? 2-3 years of grinding the same 5 dungeons ad-nauseum ? No thanks. I'm done playing WOW personally.
Yes 1 week to max level..and next expansion people will be able to get insta lvl 85 with all mounts instant also ofc, and insta full sets of epics...oh sorry this is already possible with the epics since BC...
80 to 85 can be done in 14-20 hours and has been done on beta.
aren't they revamping the entire game? seems like that is a lot of content on its own.
If all your looking for is an endless leveling treadmill, you can always look eastward for games.
Why would someone want to do that when he can get the same thing from blizz.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
All depends how many hours you play each day.
To me blizzard wants ppl faster to experiance endgame.
And honeslty if you dont do lfg instance and focus on quest only 1-60 and so on will take a somewhat long time.but still fast comparade to maybe other games.
Right now doing lfg you dont need to do quest at all at least 15 to 50 after that the exp curve lvls out a bit at least in lfg.
And to be totally honest the mmorg that doesnt make you grind in endgame for whatever purpose doesnt exist.
And if it does its probably a sim game of some sort.

1-60 is a brand new experience. 1-85 will take a decent amount of time if youre re-rolling. 80-85 will without a doubt be short, but if you have an 80, then you'll want to get to the endgame as soon as possible anyway to grab the latest gear. because WoW has nothing resembling dynamic/interesting quests, all the replayability centers around PVP and gear acquisition. the game was designed for you to grind your life away at endgame.
if there's one thing that i hate about WoW, it's the carrot chasing at endgame.
What is rewarding about the arbitrary "challenge" of somethign taking a long time?
The leveling is just a small part of what makes this game fun. I happen to really enjoy it, but I am content to relegate that to a passtime suited for alts.
I want my toon max level asap. It's just how I like it.
Once at max level, branching out horizontally and going back to missed things is fine too. May as well. But the arbitrary constraint of my characters level is something I would rather do without to be honest.
Someone please make a good MMO.
^lol
the only fun part of WoW is the actual leveling. only thing remaining at endgame is the grindfest so you can stay competitive. with cata however, there will be some decent pvp options available.
not if you are a healer. You can get back to back groups non stop. In fact, more times than not, I have had the same group simply queue up as a group right after the last boss just so there is no wait. My druid can get a level in about an hour of back to back scarlet monastery speed runs.
All die, so die well.
This is nothing new. Same conditions applied to BC and Wrath.
If you are focused solely on leveling, then you can absolutely get there in a few heavy days of playing. There are probably already a few guides out there to show you how to do it in the shortest amount of time.
If this is your sole focus of an MMO, I would strongly recommend that you give up the entire genre. Cata is about revamping the 1-60 experience, and adding some extra to the end (80-85). If you aren't interested in that, go to your local GameStop and pick up a bunch of games in the $9.99 bin. Every MMO that I've played is short on content when max level is your primary goal.
Ok at least i know why i never played wow now
Will it take 30 days played (or at least 20) to get to level 80 for someone like me? I don't rush to the endgame, I'm planning to turn quest helper thing off, and just exploring just like I originally did with my first 80. If it is too fast I'll officially quit the game, leveling is one of my favorite parts.

how fast you level is relative to how much you play and your playstyle. I can be on a toon for a few hours in a game and never ever level that night. In my last game i played was AOC, there were players it took 9 months to reach max level in my guild. So i guess if you sit at the computer all day and try to level then you reach it fast.
Why does it bother you how fast other people are able to level up? Does it cheapen your "achievement?"
Has nothing to do with caring how fast people level, well in a way yeah it does, its just the fact of, i remember back in the day where you were proud of your levels, and you werent switching gear every 5 minutes because you dinged 30 times in one day;
Maybe i just long for a game with some actual leveling and not just a RUSH RUSH RUSH to max level; ...
Oh how i miss you EQ; ... lol

After 2 months the majority will be bored and looking for the next best thing except for those who play less than 20 hours a week. They will extend their time a bit longer before they start looking else where too.
I don't really see a reason to be 'proud' of levels no matter how long they take. It's just a number. One should be pround of what one really accomplished during these levels and how fun it was. It does not seem like much of an accomplishment to grind the same mobs for months just so your character can gain a level.
Myself, after a long medical hiatus from WoW.. am going to start 2 new race characters. Enjoy the view of what the shattering did to my old Azeroth.. take my time & see where it gets me.
Personally, I think it will be fun again for me!

op!you want challenge?ok try to defeat the elemental invasion in city happenning right now?in a lot of server its not done !why ?
oh it would probably have needed incentive like honor point to hop in.oh it give armor 251 but good luck getting those ,if no player are interested in it .or if blizzard had said ok for each time you clear this event we raise your honor cap you can bank by 3 % to cap of say 8000 honor!then i bet those would be done each time but just for the 251 stuff people can already farm better and make some gold doing it!so the challenge isnt the issue the issue is how to reward player so they come participate to dam event or watchemacallit!
WoW has some of the better quests I've seen in MMO's. Please enlighten us as to the super awesome MMO with the stellar quests that are done better then WoW. And please be sure it's a game that isn't horrible.
Thanks.
"Levels" is very much the old way of looking at MMO's. These days it has been bypassed by gear and since 2 years even gear has become the means to the real end goals of ANY on line game:
The achievements and the linked bragging titles and elite mounts/pets that go with it. Even in non MMO's.
Those achievements can be a goal at any level and obtained by hundreds of playing styles.
If you still talk pure levels as an accomplishment you are a. a noob or b. have been away in a closet for the last 5 years.
i think Cataclysm will be the last expansion of WoW, probably Deathwing will be so strong that even if the whole (1-85) Alliance and Horde help each other, they wont last long enough to take more than 2% of His total health... then Deathwing will come and go, ravaging the lands until its all lava and water and characters die because there is no safe place to stand and there wont be spirit healers so the game will end

i really hope this happens, because WoW is so old.. just like CS 1.6, it has to die, people should at least be playing Source
^^
Problem: Wow is the most succesful video game in $ ever.
Wow is just as old as its latest expansion. This applies certainly to Cataclysm with its Azeroth 2 version, complete redone classes and rated Battlegrounds.
So on Dec 8th Cata is exaclty one day old. You'll see it as best selling MMORPG ever on those charts.
Happy birthday btw. Wow is now in its first year of primary school. Not that it matters much for a non living monster: you'll see "Warcraft" lore games until the day ... you die m8.
You'll have to learn to live with that.
