Whoa there sailor lmao.
Did you just confuse a retail lv 45 (old lv 110) with classic? HAHA. Holy crap my man.

Which part? lol. You can go from 60-70 in 35-40 hours /played.

You’re quoting a pretty aggressive speed. You’re average player with 2-4 hours per night of play isn’t going to make it to 70 in 2 weeks.
Ain’t happenin’.
Ok i’ll admit, for the average casual this may not be achievable. You can maximize your time by using add-ons such as guidelime. But maybe not as quick has full time players. But to say that 98% of the game is the leveling experience is still pretty exaggerated.

Fun is subjective, some people like leveling with dungeons and some leveling through questing. some like to speed run to burn themselves out as fast as they can, rushing to get to 70 to do heroics for the badge gear and before you know it they’re raid logging because they now have nothing to do. Or they’re doing it all over again on another character.
Now I did this to an extent on this character, hit 70 on the second day, spammed dungeons with 4 other guildies to level and AoE’d every dungeon for rep and exp, by the end of it we were revered with most of the factions that have heroics. While it isn’t 1-1 it was monotanus in how we achieved level 70. Pull mobs, AoE, pull mobs, AoE I will say though double Mage Lock is an insane combo for power leveling.
I pretty much have nothing to do atm outside of raiding so all I do now is fish, herb, do AH stuff, dailies and dungeon when a guildie asks me to, usually a heroic. Outside of that i don’t really play the game which is fine, it’s perfectly normal to play more than one game at a time.
I don’t like leveling, but even then I’m not going to ask some Mage to do the process for me. It took untill the last 2 months of classic to get my Druid to level 60 and until then only my Mage was max level. In TBC i only leveled my Druid to 70 when my GM said that it’s going to be raiding (which i agreed to). I’m lazy but not that lazy.
There’s also a gold incentive to not quest, now I can’t confirm the validity of these words but I’ve heard that if you do all quests at 70 you can make 5k gold because the gold reward is increased once you’re level 70 that pays for learning epic flying which i can see being a massive reason as to not level through quests, if you can be bothered to quest at 70 that is.
I can’t wait for a day of content where i can get Swift Flight Form for my Druid then do SSC and TK, it’s going to be so much fun.

the majority of time is at the level you are forced to stop leveling at

Razor sharp observational skills on this one.
A fine observation.
Leveling.
VS
Everything you do at Max.
Which is more content? Which is more relevant?
I have a mage in my guild who leveled himself solo in pens.
That’s your meaningful content? Leveling?
The game starts at 70, for the majority of people who actually keep the game alive.
Facts.

Quests are still there at 70 and even better since you can complete most of them solo, can have a flying mount and make loads of gold.
Quest levelers make me laugh when they talk about “experiencing” the game. As if dying to some quest mobs and running back and forth with exp loss due to TBC having some of the worst logistics for quests is some accomplishment.

Exactly, it’s still there, do it at max.

They are the same people that was doing /spit into the lvl 58 boost. The “”"“pro”"" “”“wow classic players”" the same who keep saying “Go BaCk tO rEtAiL”. Let them pay in peace they still suck in dungeons and raid metters
This is true, and I am currently doing this on my second character that is a prot warrior.
I level my main through quests, but I level a warrior alt entirely by tanking dungeons with rested XP in both classic vanilla and TBC.
I have almost all the rep I need from the dungeon runs, and I have a lot of turn-in items (armaments,marks,etc.) to finish them off to revered.
I earned enough gold for slow flying because instant tank group let me constantly be in a dungeon looting junk to vendor and BOE items to AH.
Right now, I am running through the 70 dungeons and almost done getting pre-raid BiS stuff.
After that, I plan on running through all of the quest zones to reach exalted and get gold for epic flying. 
This alt has done nothing but make bank and get levels, and he’s about to rack in mad dough blowing through quests.
My played time at 70 on my main is almost the same as my total time played on the alt.
Met a ton of other players on the way up, and had lots of fun doing this.
Yes well, there’s also the morally correct issue which is the funneling of USD out of the hands of American citizens and into economies who either refuse or are otherwise disallowed from putting it back into our economy.
For every time you spend 20 gold, you are literally impoverishing someone in the United States.
when youve done the same quests dozens and dozens of times over the past 15 years, its alot less fun and interesting.

I feel you there. I always whine and moan about mages doing that. But those are going to be there no matter the way its leveled. You’d never know any of my toons were boosted or not. But that’s because I took the time to learn them whether they were leveled or not and I prefer to play at a better level than most. But boosted or not isn’t the problem. Tbh i’d pay whatever blizz wanted if I didn’t have to level anymore. For me its my least favorite part of this game.
I actually agree with this. I am all for boosts to level 58 from the cash shop. I dont reallt care how other ppl play the game.
But yeah, its pretty lazy to be boosting past the current content. I dont know though, i guess maybe for ppl that already did a level 70 and are just rerolling to fill a guild need are not interested in the small grind again. Who am i to care.
shut up let people play the way they want to play

Of course you can’t recreate it exactly. Blizz said they were going to do #somechanges. Okay, well those changes weren’t very good, and stopping high levels from boosting would have kept the open world more alive which is a better facsimile of original WoW than what we got.
Its misleading to just say “people are different now” and not look at the system they’re put in. That system is absolutely designed to encourage extra profit for the game companies. Make not mistake about that, even the little details are considered.

Imagine thinking everyone has the same outlook on “fun” as you do. Stay sub-level 70 forever, nerd.

Cheaters are going to cheat & exploiters are going to exploit. It’s what our culture/society has normalized for at least the last 41 years & made the de-facto standard for getting ahead in business & politics. Enjoy.
Leave it to some dork who needs to compare Slave Pens boosts to politics to label utilizing game mechanics as cheating.
