The XP you have to gain to level is pretty steep to make it from 70 to 80.<br /><br />Perception is everything, I suppose, because people sure seem to think that LFD leveling is the way to go.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-67041317257678436132010-07-19T12:35:51.530-04:002010-07-19T12:35:51.530-04:00I have definitely noticed a drop in the desire to ...I have definitely noticed a drop in the desire to quest while leveling... but moreso in my chats with guildies as opposed to noticing it in-game.<br /><br />With the quicker leveling, people do not need to experience as many zones as they once did. You can often blow from 1-60 visiting much fewer zones than in previous years (heirloom gear might play a part as well as experience increaes). I do see some people out and about in higher level zones, but not many.<br /><br />What I really notice is that many of my guildies ask if people want to group to dungeon level. They tend to prefer this, and are under the impression that it is faster. My husband is in this group of people. I am not. I like quest grinding most of the time, and use dungeons to break up the monotony. One day, my husband and I sat side by side on our 78 druids. I quested like a mad woman and occasionally queued for dungeons. He queued non-stop and hung out in Dalaran while he was waiting. Let's just say I beat him by an entire level.<br /><br />I do also know a number of people that are itching to play a certain class, but are saving it for their Goblin. I personally decided to just wait and see what happens as far as character slots. I do what is fun now, and come Cata if I need to delete a toon to reroll it Goblin, so be it.<br /><br /><br />Sorry for the long comment! And good luck on finishing up Loremaster :)SayvilleLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926052899037298274noreply@blogger.com
