Level 70 to 80 takes forever.

[meheez]

forever when questing maybe, dungeons can bring lvl 80 in 1-2 days for sure

[garicasha]

Coren's Lucky Coin is the real MVP of dungeon grinding.

[Linkedblade]

Cataclysm and MoP only have 5 levels.
WotLK has 10 levels and each level takes forever.

The leveling experience takes roughly the same amount of time.

[ReVnX]

After does NOT have 10.
Cataclysm and MoP only have 5 levels.

In fact after MoP, it is even faster.
It only takes 20 hours to reach max level.

20 hours? Leveling in a new expansion takes roughly 8-12 hours without powerleveling

[Gimlix]

Welcome to WotLK! What was your point again?

How is this not welcome to WoW? DF is also 60-70
This guy is clearly trolling cause only 2 expansions had 5 levels as standard.

[KOUNTERPARTS]

If you think 70 to 80 takes forever, boy, you’d never believe how long 1 to 80 takes!

[Lochton]

Cataclysm and MoP only have 5 levels.
WotLK has 10 levels and each level takes forever.

Takes the time it takes, still easier than the original.

Cataclysm and MoP only have 5 levels.
WotLK has 10 levels and each level takes forever.

And Wrath has more content to play with for those 10 levels. Remember that this was back in the golden period of WoW...the game wasn't *solely* about end game back then. Enjoy the leveling, the story, the content, the activities, etc.

If you have been conditioned to only think end-game matters, best that you stick with retail WoW.

That's a bit hypocritical, whatever you think of wotlk classic or retail, it's a fact that there is much more content outside of the endgame in retail than in wotlk classic (and more content inside the endgame as well)

Thanks for telling us, because how else would we know?

I remember people hitting 80 by the time I got to Dragonblight less than 10 hours after original launch and I hit 80 within 2 days.

Dude this is just bullshit, the original banned world first was 13 hours to 79 and the unbanned took vastly longer.

[SinR]

Dude did it in 9 hours.

[Donald Hellscream]

Well if you know where the old grinding spot from original wotlk is, and you have friends to help you, you can do it in way less than half a day.

[ryanmahaffe]

Bro people here love pretending that it's fun to go through incredibly repetitive quests that give next to 0 xp for the "journey" so you arent going to find much support here.

[Khaza-R]

I am pretty sure 80-85 required just as much raw XP (if not more) than 70-80 did. Just because they arbitrarily changed the number of levels does not mean it was faster.

[crusadernero]

Cataclysm and MoP only have 5 levels.

I mean.. We are barely 24 hours into the xpac. Its going to be around for 2 years. Its ok.

My shammy is lvl 44 and 50% xp buff is gone, sucks donkeykong ass. But, it is what it is. Keep on grindin.

[Biggles Worth]

Yaaaawwwwwwwwwnnnn.

[facefist]

I remember people hitting 80 by the time I got to Dragonblight less than 10 hours after original launch and I hit 80 within 2 days.

I actually did it in less than 9 hours.

[Lathspell]

Apparently it takes about 9 hours. https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/news/w...classic-329056

I.... fail to see a problem with this.

Leveling has been made a horrible later on. Railroaded and way to fast.
The start of an expansion where everyone i leveling their chars is the best part of the expansion imho.
World is full of people. It is the only time wow actually feels like an MMO still. And TBC and WOTLK have been amazing at it.
People actually do stuff instead of just fly from point a to b to finsih a WQ as fast as possible.
Everyone will be sitting in the main city later on and seeing ohter players is rather... rare.
