Video games are built to be... played, not to be skipped almost entirely. Oh I know it might be shocking to some, but oh well...
If someone doesnt enjoy gearing up to be capable of raiding the highest tier, but enjoys riding, is it ok to just add an option to acquire the best gear without actually farming it? Same situation as yours.
Tell me so that we can see if you are egoistic, dumb, or if you'll actually give a smart answer.
I'll give you some real world examples. Remember the end of MoP when the stat squish happened? That had the unintended consequence of making low levels much more difficult. Mobs took way longer to kill. The backlash from this was MASSIVE. The forums were in constant uproar until they fixed it
That's what leads me to believe there's a ton of people not yet aware of these changes who wouldn't be too happy about them.

Let's not, lol. There's more to an MMORPG than the leveling. I wouldn't be playing this game if there wasn't.
Pretty much why I'm delaying my leveling. While I don't agree with a forced change to make it take longer, it's not like that's all there is. The zone freedom alone makes it more worth it.
So how long does 1-60 take now?
The difference is unintentional vs very much intended. No matter what thread or site I visit and are discussing this topic the majority of posters are all for it.
Pressing a button or two all the way to max level is not fun, ESPECIALLY for new players which I can attest to, as my gf started playing a while back because she saw me at max and thought it was fun, but her entire experience was walk up to mob, press 1 and sometimes 2, dead. I convinced her not to use heirlooms too. Needless to say she isn't having the best time levelling because how tedious and brain dead levelling has become and the game penalises you for wanting to finish a zone which she also likes to do.
You don't learn your class like you used to until you are 110 and then it's a completely new experience and that is just bad design. I have to literally slog out 109 levels as a 2 button class to be able to play something I really want, and this is addressing that. You will now have rotations on mobs, especially dungeons when quite a few classes can solo them right now.
I still think levelling will be quite fast and I think a lot of people complaining haven't even tested it on PTR. Have you yet or are you complaining about something you haven't even tried yet?

no, tha'ts completely different to levelling levelling is supposed to be done quickly, last i checked wow was about the end game not about 1-X i've always hatied levelling toons i hate it every xpac and every time someone asks me to level for them, ive leveled 8 times the toons i didn't want when i moved i deleted them as i didn't want to see them again, i was planning on levelling a dk just for something to do in game but no with these changes.
levelling never had a sense of satisfaction even when u dinged 60 now it didn't and it dosen't need to have it also shouldn't take more than a day or 2 but i guess that's something we will never agree on
Meh I will put off leveling them until after the patch goes live as I am very much in favor of the change.
If i could like comments, i'd like yours.
Hell took me so long to level my first toon from 1 to 70. Sure they might increase the time but, still, i enjoy leveling to an extent, Once you get to max level, it becomes the same shit on every character. While i level i can choose a few different places to grind out my quests, follow the storylines and actually have fun. So, i don't mind that it'll be a bit harder. It still won't be as hard as it used to be.
also, *GASP* Blizz wants to make money? I had no idea!!
Getting to 60 was very much an achievement, it was a slog with a ton of grinding and hitting 60 was so so sweet.
And your whole metric of "it shouldn't take more than a day or 2? Where are you getting this? I mean if it's meant to be that short why not 12 hours or just get rid of it?
YOU don't like it. MOST others do. Sorry bud.
