Finally 60, Blizzard, why?

… That was not fun to rush this quickly because of the small prepatch time window.

Ah, well. Server first 60 BElf priest.

42 hour a week job - and I can play at work.

So, Blizzard? Now that I’ve done this, I want to say: What were you thinking? This is waaaaay too short of a prepatch. I felt rushed every last bit of time. People with kids are royally in trouble.

Update: For those who can’t common sense:
My argument is they said they’d give people PLENTY of time to level. I had to no-life for 8 days with a job where I can play at work.

Other people aren’t going to have this luxury, period. For most people, this is not PLENTY of time. This is, “Pay us $40.00.”

For those of you who STILL don’t get this - here’s the math from a later post:

Exactly. I got there in 5 days and 2 hours of play-time, that’s why I took the screen shot.

In 8 days - 192 hours of things being active (excluding long maintenance). I spent 122 of those hours playing. We should, more accurately, assume 7 days, because 3 AM prepatch.

Which is - 168 hours of time of patch being out. 122 of those hours playing.

You’d have to spend 72% of your time playing to have done this stupidity by the time today.

If you double this - high ball. 122 hours, assumed. You have to spend 36% of EVERY SINGLE DAY to play this. Which means more than 8 hours a day (more) if you want to make it to the tabard and level 60 before prepatch. This is, literally: “Give us $40.00.”

Further Edit:

This is not the result of boosting (paying for runs). I ran only two dungeons - SFK and BFD for the robe and wand. All the rest of it was questing. This is, typically, how a new player will level and the time it would take them to do so. My times are related to such and as a priest.

Grats!

It was an interesting length for the pre-patch, make sure you get your tabard of the protector!

Put it in OP for you. I had it there originally, but removed it and censored private channel names and people’s names.

Got it at 58.

They were thinking that it was nice to give us time to level our alts at all. Which it was, given that the original TBC prepatch certainly didn’t allow for it.

The forum only updates your level if you select a different character, then change back. But then you lose all your post count history.

“What were blizzrd thinking”

That people had common sense and self control. The fact you’re sitting here, telling blizzard it’s THEIR issue you have a 42 hour a week job or kids as if they are supposed to work around that. Incredible.

OP is mad that blizzard didn’t take into account every single human beings real lives when they announced prepatch. Why they should? Literally no idea.

I don’t have kids. The time taken is ridiculous. I even have a job where I can play at work. People who can’t do this are not gonna make it.

So it’s Blizzard’s fault you felt the need to rush to 60?

If you want the tabard and to be prepared to catch up to your friends moving from Classic? Yes.

I disagree, it is not like you can no longer continue to level your bloodelf after launch. I mean in original TBC everyone had to wait till launch to level a BElf. So they enter a week or two later, they will probably have a better experience as the flood of players will have separated out and zones will be less overpopulated
