what quests do you ignore in elwynn, westfall and duskwood?
and in stv? do you do tanaris? where do you quest for low 40s to 50?
lol I don’t have a problem at all. You don’t even know me irl. Just because I have more time to play does not mean I have a problem.
Plus he had a ton of people helping him.
I barely paid attention to Jokerd I just saw when he hit 60. However, I still don’t think it will take that long if you are dedicated enough to get there which is what they clearly want but they want all of us to do it on their pace. I get real tired of the people who don’t have nearly as much time to play on these forums acting like its some big crime that the game isnt tailored around them.
People who play non stop don’t understand what a normal schedule is.
The thing is I don’t play non stop. I only play a lot during major content releases. I have a job and a life like everyone else. However, I made decisions in life that allowed me to have a pretty amazing job and also allowed me to be able to game as much as I want at the same time. I probably play far more than you or Graendoll most of the time. That doesn’t mean I don’t know what a regular schedule is.

I am practicing for a Draenei right now. In Elwynn I figured out what quests weren’t required to move out of northshire abbey. Those kobold quests weren’t. I as able to skip those while everyone else was fighting for tags. I try and do as many quests as possible but the big key is staying ahead of everyone else. If you fight for tags for a quest you don’t even need to progress you’re sticking yourself in with the pack for no reason. Sure you might be a tad under-leveled moving into Elwynn proper but you’re ahead of everyone else AND you don’t have to fight for tags. At that point its about trying to get as many quests for a given area at once and doing them all at once. I also timed myself to see how fast I could get through certain areas in the most efficient way possible. Its all about being efficient. That stupid badge quest near eastvale logging camp I might have skipped cuz murlocs lol. The biggest thing isn’t about skipping quests. Its about getting out early. After you get out ahead of everyone fighting for tags in the starting zone then you have to play long enough for people to start to go to bed. You want to get a solid lead on them so when you get back on the next day you are so far ahead the majority won’t catch you. Of course some other players will and will pass you. I was a rogue so I wasn’t beating skilled feral druids and hunters. I kept up with them till STV though. I played for 2 days straight on Classic Launch. I was among the first alliance in STV on my server which wasn’t Bloodsail on launch. If you can find a class that compliments you that helps too. I had a priest friend following me everywhere. We planned before launch to group quest. Death runs take time. Time you don’t have if you don’t want to fight for mobs.
Its kinda like distance running. The guys at the front aren’t usually running very fast… they just got out in front early and set their pace. If you were able to stick with them at the start you will be fine. If you got stuck in the pack they will leave you behind and you have to work extra hard to catch up to the front. Everyone always thinks they run super fast and sometimes they do… but a lot of the time they slow down eventually and get in their pace for the rest of the run. They just worked hard early so they could slow down later.
The thing is Blizzard ALWAYS says it like that. You think they mean several weeks to a month or even longer than that. A decent amount of time. But by not giving a hard and fast time they can do what they want. It doesn’t matter how we as a community feel about it. It’s everyones own faults for thinking they meant a longer amount of time. Blizzard never said it. Unless blizzard specifically says something then its pointless to speculate. We aren’t twisting blizzards words you are. You implied they meant longer when they never said that. Never ever imply what you think blizzard means. You only set yourself up for disappointment.
30% xp nerf is in and mounts at 30 instead of 40. Just as it was in 2.4.3.

8.5 hours give or take is fine for a decent chunk of people though, (but I do wish it was 3 weeks long). and you know you don’t have to be 60 exactly on launch, one or two days or even more delayed will be fine, especially since a lot of people are in your shoes. The content won’t go anywhere and if you’re on a populated server Hellfire, etc wont be dead for a long time. Even on smaller servers.
Just maximize your time as much as you can. Skip professions, Look at a leveling guide, if you have any gold buy a couple of boosts. It should be fine.
lol that’s some twisted mentality. “It’s our fault that we were deliberately misled by a company using intentionally ambiguous language.”
No, it’s the company that was using deceptive marketing. Blizzard isn’t good, you don’t need to make excuses for their behavior.

You weren’t deliberately misled. You made it up in your mind what blizzard meant. People do it every time and you’re no different.

Clearly he doesn’t have a life outside of WoW so of course he thinks it’s reasonable. Normal people will hit 70 when they hit 70.
Hahaha, the delusions of these people who play constantly is mind blowing.

I’m in a guild with most of the HWLs on my realm, who even now some of which carried Rank 10 or 11 ‘casually’ who clear Naxx in under 2 hours, and raid everything else as GDKP on multiple characters, on multiple realms…
What some people think is casual isn’t even a blip noticeable to these guys. They live and breathe the game.
8 hours a day of short term grind? Light work.
Does that mean High Warlord? It sounds like a horde thing and since I play alliance it makes sense thats what it means. Just asking for clarification.

Some of us play 48 hours straight on a launch day.

Yes, High Warlord. On my realm that meant 16-18 hour days, 6 days a week to maintain the 900+K caps.

8.5 Hours a day to level is fine for most people? I don’t agree with that not from a I’m an old man perspective (I still play 4+ hours some days when I can and Im not old LOL) but 8.5 hours a day for just under a month to level (not even prep just level) for TBC is not enough time for most players who don’t have mages and are returning or starting fresh.
I want to play TBC for a long while as it was my favorite xpac but I want the most out of the game and I want a large player base which we all know will die out as the content is like 14 years old already.
I as well as many other youtubers/streamers/friends I talked to all though the June 1st release was fake as that seemed way too soon. I wanted to go in with 2 characters at the start (without boosting) and I don’t think Im going to waste the huge time investment leveling a 2nd character now as thats a huge time sink.
I honestly think if Blizz just put all the info in one concise post releasing this date, patch this date, honor from Classic BGs will be converted to honor points or you need to refarm all the honor for the soon to be useless purple gear, how exactly the servers will work and present all pvp/pve plans people wouldnt rage as much.
I know you can find datamined stuff on that but who knew that was accurate and honestly Blizz for weeks just put up “NEW” above the classic tab and said its launching 2021 which is pretty much their “Soon TM” they always go and give 0 info when apparently they had it for a long time since it really is launching the 1st…
Oh, guess you fail at math. The XP nerf starts at level 20, and it’s 20% per level. Ultimately, you end up saving about 6-10 hours tops. It will still easily take you 5+ days played time without using some kind of boosting method for paladins or shamans. Most adults don’t have that kind of free time in a two week period.
They’ll have plenty of time. TBC is not gonna last 2 weeks 
“NOOO I NEED TO BE LEVEL 60 BEFORE TBC LAUNCHES OR I’LL NEVER ENJOY THE GAME!!”
what is wrong with you people
You are correct, but look at classic and Retail right now. Everything is a speed run and if you aren’t running as fast as everyone else, you miss out on a lot of content because groups will slow down once the majority who “ran” are already attuned and ready to raid.
I loved the attunments but back in 2006, nothing was a death race as MMOs the way I remember them were considered “unbeatable” to a lot of people. Now its just I killed X raid tear, got gear by following BIS websites and dont need some of the purples that even drop then do that a couple more weeks/month before raid logging and eventually quitting/unsubbing until the next raid teir whcih will most likely be rushed again.
Gamer mentality mixed with poor game design from blizz on this relaunch of an epic expansion.
Theres more than just 20% they lowered hte xp from 20-60 AND increased the xp you get from quests. Not only that people can get to 60 without doing quests. People have done it in a day already with boosts.
Why did Blizzard release new races during the pre-patch this time around?
To give people the opportunity which we didn’t have in the original release.
To reroll and enter the portal with your guild.
I rerolled back then, and was way way behind.
