Vanilla WoW took me 288 hours to get to lv 60. Lets not forget when WoW came out there was an xp death penalty most dont remember.
It also took another 100-300 hours to get the basic raid gear.

Im not defending the changes made outside of me preferring a quicker levelling process having done it 4+ times now. What I’m trying to argue is that blizzard makes changes to the game based on their engagement metrics and what will get them the most players, and most money in return.
They aren’t stupidly making decisions for the sake of it just to make people on the forums angry about it. They are doing it with data and info none of us can see and going based off of it.
I would 100% be all for a much harder and longer levelling path if I didn’t have to do it every 12 weeks for a new season. But the game is not difficult what so ever levelling to 100 which makes it get stale and boring extremely quickly especially when doing it multiple times. The way the game currently is, I am all for them speeding up levelling, if the game were different I would feel differently about it
I did enjoy levelling at launch, but it was also the first time we were all levelling and playing through the campaign. It was fresh and new, and it was at least a bit more challenging than what we have now.
It’s always easy to have nostalgia making you feel certain ways about things, but if we were still sitting here having to do 100 hour levelling grinds every 12 weeks, we wouldn’t have much of a player base
