Am I right?

Yeah it is super sped up to 60 to get you into DF very very fast. This is probably the fastest it’s ever been to the point of what’s the point of the expansions.

From level 10 to 60 is really fast, 60 to 70 is slightly slower paced.

I like the pace of leveling at the moment, I do enjoy going back, seeing old zones, that sense of progression the new talent trees have, but I don’t really want it slowed down, I think its in a nice spot right now.

Tell me about it. I was leveling a couple alts, one in TBC and one in WotLK, out of nostalgia. I was barely out of the second zones of each expansion before I was in my late 50s.
I really wanted to quest in Dragonblight (Wrath), Shadowmoon Valley and Nagrand (TBC) but had to stop questing in those other zones and just fly directly to the zones I wanted to quest in just to experience some of the nostalgia I was looking for.
Hit 60 after like a handful of quests on both alts. 
It just reminds me, yet again, that this game’s focus is raiding, and to get people to raid as fast as possible. Story, immersion, etc. is an afterthought, if it’s even thought of at all.

I disagree. I absolutely hate DF zones. I’m usually an altaholic, but I just can’t bring myself to level through them over and over again. I’m pretty sure you can still turn xp off if you are so inclined.

Pretty weak zones…I do agree
No, it’s fine. If anything it ought to be faster; I have 34 max level characters and I’m so bored of leveling that the only way I’ll level more is if they make it faster.

I have a hunter that’s at 66 and she’s been in Bastion since launch.

Leveling in general is far too fast for anyone that appreciates the stories and wants to experience them at-level.
Would prefer a way to scale back down at any level, IMO.

I think it’s just fine. I don’t want to spend more than two long sessions getting to max. I’m down for it to be faster.
That’s what classic is for.

Toggle off xp until you are done with it. If the story is your main goal, nothing is stopping you, even after you outlevel the area. The solutions are there.

It’s out of the way and I’d rather not. My ideal solution would just be to let me “party sync” scale myself down to the content post Chromie Time, or to remove the cap on Chromie Time in general.
Parking a leveling process without completion doesn’t feel as good to me. Right now I just settle for what it is.

I agree. I wish they would commit timewalking in a one-tamriel type huge overhaul where the past ?? However many expansions dont become irrelevant at endgame.
Id love to be able to farm full defias and upgrade it to epic & end game ilvl and have some updated set bonus from the gear i prefer. For example.
They toyed with the idea using relic of the past and crafting. Just fully commit. And overhaul the entire games loot table.
I know its a huge ask but thats what expansions are for.
I think after DF they will allow for Chromie Time up until 70. The thing is, those are the only solutions available, and I don’t see that changing.
Id gladly trade 10-60 being a little slower for 60-70 being a lot faster. (Once you have a max already - or maybe even an additional boost if you’re leveling the same class 60-70)
It’s a real shame. I’d play so much more if I could experience older stories or go through quest completion without having to either do it god-mode or roll a new character and freeze its progress at some wonky level like 59, knowing I have so many more fun talents waiting for me.
Seeing that I’m not max level and not able to progress toward it feels bothersome enough to eventually cave and stop the old content train, but not being able to experience it at-level is also not fun for me. Me issue? Maybe, but it also feels like a game design issue.
One they could easily fix because the tech is already there with party-sync and Chromie time. I don’t know why they won’t let me go back and scale down to content.

10-60 still feels somewhat slow and wished 60-70 was a little bit faster.
I used to feel the way you do, so I can understand where you are coming from. Blizzard has decided that end game is what matters and that’s where people want to get to asap. I don’t see their philosophy changing. I’ve been enjoying SoD Classic as a change of pace.

Story and immersion =/= leveling issue though
