Blizzard announced that the new leveling experience is faster and the numbers they used is 60% faster leveling speed.
Yes this is actually true in a way.
I am very slow leveler. I distract myself deciding to start skill up my fishing and other professions and I fly back and forth to cities to learn new recipes etc so leveling from level 1 to 120 in BFA with the Winds of Wisdom buff I spent a bit over 2 days (48 hours).
On the PTR I spent around 24 hours to level 50 in only classic zones.
So its its around half. However, 50 is the old cap. And if you add the 12-15 hours (I have been told this is the casual time on SL Beta) on top of those 24. You get into the 35 to 40 hours range from 1 to 60.
So, I guess you can make the case that the new levelspeed is as fast as announced really? Thought its a bit faster. I do see that.
What you think? You think it should be even faster? Like all expansions should be at WoD spead which is around 12 hours casual leveling time according to numbers I have seen on Wowhead.
