Not watching the extended edition director’s cut, so you must be out of your mind.
Ive leveled so many toons it’s embarrassing, burst into tears when altoholic addon showed me my total slash played of all toons. I totally understand the people who dont want to do the entire leveling experience again and then again and then again.
Surely you understand where they are coming from.
I’m half way through
I will admit I am enjoying leveling on Skyfury. Adding the ‘JJ’ made it easier, but I started late and was only able to get to lvl 35 at the time.
Now I am lvl 48 and every zone I go into, I finish the area quests.
If Jj was still in place? Yes I would most likely be 60 by now. Am I more appropriative of the old zones? Actually I am, but unfortunately at this rate I will not be raiding with my guild when phase one hits.
And well, that makes me sad but I know I will one day.
And that is my none related two cents to this thread.
Lol you are a mage and you are complaining about leveling speeds?
This is called can of worms, you give players something, then take it away, and some miss out entirely.
Same with WG thing, part of players got full geared from exploit, those that missed out need to farm bgs for weeks.
Devs did mess up quite a bit here. Alchemy ruined, pvp exploited by part of playerbase, 50% xp removed for old content while people were still leveling. Not good player experience.

Then I guess you better get leveling.
Multiple accounts mean multiple 70 boosts purchased to avoid the 1 too 70 grind. Multiple accounts mean more subscriptions.
Money money money.
Except here’s the problem: Currently, the game is WoW: Wrath of the Lich King, right? If someone wants to play, they first have to level through about 40 hours before they get to play WotLK. Many people have probably already done this multiple times. Personally, I have done it 4 times. I have a 60, two 70s, and an 80. I don’t even want to do the 60-70 again, and only did my 3rd one because of the joyous buff.
Now imagine a new player who wants to play wrath because it’s arguably the most popular time in WoW’s history. If they want to play, they have to grind through two expansions that don’t matter to them and are largely irrelevant to them and the current game.
At the same time, though, I think it’s a bit of a catch 22 because it shouldn’t be so trivial that you blast through in a day like retail.
Lmao nobody got “full gear” from the wintergrasp exploit. At most they got one, maybe two extra pieces. 
Yeah, imagine having to put forth the time and effort to achieve anything.
I think this is the real problem here folks. OP has no idea what game he is playing on his computer.
In fairness, the fact that they removed boosting from the game is pretty lame. I started in wrath, and one of my most fun memories while leveling was getting run through SM and ramparts by my friends, I remember seeing my xp bar zoom up and just being like “o.o damn! This is hella fast!”
Thing is, even back then, people didn’t want to spend all this time solo leveling, they wanted to be with their friends and enjoy the content. At least back then, their high level friends could run them through content to speed that up, and get their friends to max level faster. Now, we can’t even do that, so the best we can do is just make another character and join them in leveling, but that doesn’t speed it up significantly, and is also a fairly significant investment for you to spend with just ONE friend. Either you’re spending all your time leveling with them, or you spend time to do stuff with other friends and you fall behind your friend and can’t spend time with them anymore.
Now, I’m not saying they should add boosting back in, because it was problematic in it’s own right, BUUUTTTT… well, if you take one thing away, maybe leave something in to compensate. Joyous journeys was fairly well recieved by a lot of people, and seemed to make questing a much smoother experience, since you had far less dead spots in your leveling journey. Seems like a good compromise in all honesty.
Honestly, this is just another example of blizzard making changes to the game without really thinking about the widerspread ramifications of said change. I do remember spending time boosting my guildies and friends to help them get to a higher level, and it felt good to be able to spend time doing content with them without having to roll a new character myself.
dear OP, i hope you can enjoy your life from 1to70 without seeing a single player cus of “locked servers” and without being able to encounter any enemy cus of “layers & 1sideded faction” and without entering any dungeons at all cus of “no RDF” so Good luck leveling in a dead cold empty world

That is what ppl had to do when wrath first came out.
RDf wasnt in game till ICC.
I mean, raiding is the journey, the gear is the destination
Right? I HATE leveling.
I agree that in the Wrath era JJ makes sense, even just 1-60 would be great. That said I did 1-70 on a Druid in four days a week ago, and it wasn’t any great accomplishment, so if you missed the boat that’s a little on you, as you had at least a month to do it. I resubbed two weeks ago and I almost missed it too, so I can relate.
For what it’s worth I played during the original launch of WOTLK and literally everyone was questing, and only doing dungeons to finish quest lines for rewards or because they were genuinely curious to see the dungeons. Surely it was different on the min-max “serious raider” servers, but everyone I knew slogged through 70-80 and dare I say we enjoyed it.
