Mike Schramm from WOW Insider asks for the Breakfast Topic: Is the game being dumbed-down?
Patch 2.3 brought many changes, like ‘glittering’ quest objects, exclamation points on your map, faster leveling, etc. In essence, Blizzard was telling us, “We want you to get to the higher-end content faster!” The next patch will bring us mounts at level 30, to make leveling even easier. That seems to be the trend lately, and I have to say I agree with it all the way. Read the rest of this entry »
If you haven’t already heard, there’s a new patch in the works. Among the changes, players will be able to obtain their mount at level 30, instead of level 40. I think overall, most players will welcome the changes. After all, with the faster leveling going on, it can only get faster with faster transportation to zip around the zones. For me personally, I’m not concerned about getting a refund on previously purchased mounts, nor do I feel like any previous hard work has been diminished. For me, I’m just excited at the prospect of getting my elephant a little sooner.
I previously talked about whether or not I wanted to semi-retire Kibibi, and focus on a new main. There’s been some talk in our guild about ‘dusting-off’ alts that have long since been abandoned, and really start to work on them again. (And, being the trend-setter that I am, it seems many guildies are ‘rezzing’ their long-forgotten characters.) Having done this recently myself, I have five easy tips for those thinking about doing the same. Read the rest of this entry »
Kibibi was my first Alliance character I made, and there was no doubt at that time I wanted a mage. Over time, although I wouldn’t say I have ‘mastered’ the class, I understood it quite well, and managed to hit my ‘big’ goal of reaching level 70. I’ve even managed to get her geared well enough for Kara, and I run it about twice a month with my guild. I still have tailoring to level, a myriad of quests to finish, as well as continuous rep to grind and better gear to obtain. I have a problem though, I’m not sure if I want to do that.

WoW Insider had asked how do you level? Do you rush through it, or take your time? Do you just blast through any quests that are available to you, or do you really pay attention to the story lines along the way? After Kibibi just recently hit 70, I can attest it took a very, very long time for her to reach 70. Not that I took the ’scenic route’ though. It took a long time because I got distracted with life and quite a few alts. Never the less, when I buckled-down and went to work, I churned through the quests as fast as possible. Would I have changed that though? Read the rest of this entry »
