Just to follow-up on the question about the 80 to 85 leveling experience in the beta, we feel it's where it needs to be right now. We feel the current pacing is correct, based on what each zone supports via quests while allowing you to mix and match dungeon runs along the way. Keep in mind though that there are always those that are likely to power level their way to 85 fairly quickly.
Also keep in mind that the leveling experience now (1-60) will be changing. I guess we will see if the perception of whether it's too fast or not will change based on that. At the very least the flow of how you level should be improved.
Q u o t e:
It's when a CM writes something like this, that I die a little inside. Knowing that they don't "get it".
Oh, I get it. I was a part of that whole crazy 1-60 rush during the early days of WoW. I also know that I missed out on a lot of quest lines and experiences just getting there. But, it's a choice you make to power level or not. I personally prefer to mix up my activities. It's much more fun and in the end, I'll get to the same place everyone else gets to.
