I’m taking my time leveling my priest if I was going at the momentum I had been I would have already been at level 80 but I’m in no rush.

I didn’t start using Questhelper until I was well in my 40’s with my first toon and now I cannot imagine not using it. It’s my personal GPS in WOW.

I’m glad to learn I’m not the only slow leveler around!

Games are meant to be enjoyed, and if one spends all their time in that mad dash to get to 80 without, say, stopping to smell the goldclover, once one gets to 80 what is there? So yay on slow leveling

/embrace

I’m right there with you Pike. I’ve always been a slow leveler but I’ve seen more of the zones because of all my running around.

Blizzard has really outdone themselves this time and since I’ve dinged 71 I’ve found it so hard to leave Howling Fjord (I’m so into the wintery Braveheart feel of the place) so that’s my excuse and that’s what I’m sticky to =)

P.S I didn’t even know there was a Karazhan key quest line LOL!

I have my NE boomkin to lvl 72 (hopefully 73 tonight), my tauren druid is almost 71, & havent even started my other 70s yet. I am leveling painfully slow right now, but the thing is, I am enjoying the game. While my guildies are racing each other to 80 & talking about heroics & raids already, I am sight-seeing, leveling my proffs, & yes, reading all the quest text. I may even take a break to play my lvl 40 hunter some more

The point of the game should be to play your style & have fun, not rush thru everything so fast that you can’t remember the journey.

[...] you’re wondering, no, I don’t recommend playing the game like this (it’s fine to be a slow leveler), and even Matt admits that you’ll miss out on pretty much everything pre-80, including all [...]

yeah im lvl 73 with my druid, and instead of feeling slow i actually feel sometimes im going TO fast. With only 7 more lvls till the gear grind comes
(not a bad thing) i somethimes just mull over the fact that once i get him to 80 thats going to be it for quite some time. If i directly parallel to BC it seemed to me i only got in a few zones before i was 70 and now i have all these low lvl quest in places i havent been, sure i want to go there…but the only factor would be to see some lava land or nether land (which i did end up doing some things later on)

Simply put i plan on doing every quest i can find, explore every nook and cranny i can and be complacent and lazy as i was lvling to 60 (anyone else try and “swim around the world” just to see if it could be done..i mean cmon ppl SWIMMING lmao i loved those times)

then when ive had my fun and games ill go and have more fun and games trying to get three (purple as possible) outfits for my DPS cat, Tank and healer
(guess technically to a casual like me healing gear could be balance or “caster” gear as well)

2 thumbs up BTW i think what you do with your time is 100% more interesting then a specific class (such as a lock) being healed by a person not in his party tagging mobs and getting “MAD EXP” (yawn..oo such an accomplishment) lol <- look happy stuff so that comment didnt look mean or bitter

It’s nice to know I’m not the only slow leveller around.

I really don’t have much problem being slower than almost everyone else, but sometimes other people make jokes at my levelling speed or want me to rush so I can catch up to where they are which can end up leaving me feeling frustrated. Luckily though my closest friends are used to my pace and accept that it’s just how I play.
