This is part of the reason i'm not super hyped about this expansion. i mean... they're pretty much saying the only point in playing this game is the end game.. we're not even gonna give you 10 levels to grind through first, just here it is. next expansion won't be any new levels just 15 new dungeons with better gear and them telling us how much we'll love it all.
they aren't providing quality content anymore.. i know thats hard for me to say since i don't have the expansion yet.. but when it comes down to it once you hit the max level it's grinding for gear. and the wotlk dungeons got old fast for me and i'm getting a feeling the new ones in cata won't be much different.
I'm hoping that the expansion will surprise me, but right now it's looking really bland and not sure how long it'll keep me playing.

I think the majority of this expansion was focused on the 1-60 experience. Great as it is, its still more or less the same stuff. Im not in the mood to hit 85 and raid again so soon

Lol they have nearly revamped all the content from 1 to 60 and may I say did an excellent job with it. From the looks at it, even though there are only 5 more levels, there is just as much end game content here if not more then Wrath put out.

Athene hit 85 World First, but he borderline exploited with mob tagging, as what usually happens in every expac's world-first cap. He didn't get the feat of strength though cause he server-transferred the character that hit 85 within 2 months.
There's another guy who's close to 85 legitimately, Smasher I think his name is. Rooting for him.

Honestly.... couldn't care less.
If they want to rush their way to 85, fine with them... they can be bored on top.
I like to enjoy the ride myself.

What I am more interested in is how long it takes for people to get to 85 through normal play. Server firsts are about as interesting as hotdog eating contests.

You can't please everyone. Plus I would have ask what is it you play for anyway? When wrath came out how much time was there between launch and ICC10/25 opening? Think abou thow long it will be before you see deathwing..and it's 2 years from the next expansion.

This is how every xpack is, it's a rush to max level then do the end game. What do you want them to do?

Here is my problem with this expansion....
It took two years to give us 5 levels and while there was lots of end game content that was accessible (5 man dungeon finder grind), now that isn't the case. If you want to get good gear you need to do 10-25 mans.
They seem to be focused on getting/maintaining new players than keeping the older ones. The proof is in the 1-60 game and revamping of stuff, making it simpler.
They did a great job with the old world and the quests, but the biggest issue is (and it's huge for me and everyone I know) is that nobody wants to deal with Outland and Northrend again. I wish I could fast forward from 60 to 78. The 1-60 quests take a page right out of the WotLK chapter of this game. The way they incorported cutscenes, mounts, NPC fighting partners, goofy rides to locations (Caravan in EPL) and phasing, it feels just like WotLK.
I know Outland and Northrend are quicker now, but still. I can't stomach doing 60-78 (80) again. Ever.
I also think it sets a new precedent of them doing only 5 levels going forward. Who knows, I may be wrong. Maybe the redoing of the old world took away from the 80+ game, but I believe the 5 level expansion is the way going forward. Even the PvP BG levels were adjusted by 5 level brackets.

That's what I'd be afraid of if the price and release schedule remain the same.
I think it took me just under two weeks to get to max level in LK and that seemed pretty quick considering that the leveling process is the most fun aspect of the game for me. I haven't played Cata yet, but it looks like it might be quicker and that is concerning.

Going to find out myself later today but there seems to be a lot of complaints that stuff is to powerful and players are getting crap kicked out of them by the wild life while questing in the new 81-85 areas so maybe leveling will not be that fast.

I've seen that as well. Normally something that might take 5% of my life is getting me down to around 50% or 60%. A bit harder but more of a challenge I guess. It's not like you are just blowing your way through mobs. They are pissed now and showing it, lol.

I've encountered a few challenging mobs early, but once I got quest gear on that changed dramatically. Though I did come across some level 83 mobs at level 80 that were ripping my pet apart, it ended up dying on the killing blow of the mob even with spamming mend pet as the ticks wore off. Could have just been the level gap at the time though.
One major 'challenging' part about the mobs is the insane respawn rate of them. Half the time you are standing in one spot killing a mob five times in a row because of it's instant pop, before you even have the chance of getting away.
