I've been playing World of Warcraft for a little more than a year, and surprisingly I don't have a level 60 yet...or 70 soon. I've spent a lot of time PvPing, ranking up in the PvP system, and creating a lot more alts. Currently I have 2 mains (characters that I play the majority of the time), a level 51 Tauren Shaman (actually I don't know if I should consider her my main anymore, my mage alt, uh, became my main) and a level 59 Undead Mage. I should've leveled my mage to 60 before the expansion just for the sake of being at the max level, but I've decided to leave him in the 50s bracket for a bit longer to rack up more honor points.

Instead, I've been leveling my rogue. I got him to level 53 by grinding in Felwood and it hasn't been that bad. Usually I quest with all my characters, but in the 50's I've been just purely grinding in Felwood and Winterspring. Grinding in WoW doesn't feel as bad as it does in other MMOs to me. Repeatedly grinding in the same areas have led me to quit other MMOs because I get bored so fast and get sick of the leveling areas fast. Also, I don't like the thought of me being in that same place for another number of levels.

In WoW, I at least have to the choice to go to various areas to level up. I'm not limited to one sole area and at least on my realm, these areas aren't too crowded. Having other players steal your monsters isn't too big of an issue either.

I'm hoping that I can level on my next session. My goal is to at least reach the late 50s on this character, so he can be more useful in battlegrounds. Right now all I do in Alterac Valley is stun someone, and run back to my team. Its kind of fun, but I want to do more. 8D

Bah. I don't really pay attention to levels too much anymore haha. If you don't enjoy the other things in the game then I think one gets burned out too quick. Unless however you have personal goals/reasons for wanting to get high level fast XD.

Either way I understand how you could feel. It took me 2 and a half years to finally get 75WHM in FFXI after changing and considering different jobs, many of times. In PSU, I am trying to just enjoy the company of others and all the new planets and areas available for you to venture in. It's funny how in that game everyone is so dead set on doing this Raffon Forest run + Dragon to quickly grind to level 60 fast. So your 60 and what now? That's how I think I would feel. The game is so new and yet you rushed through it so quick that you forgot to enjoy it. So yea im in no rush. I am helping friends with unlocking their advance classes and what not while managaging a shop, and saving up for the best armor and weapons at my level so ill be at my best with whoever im with. But enough about me and my new addiction XD.

I hope you continue to enjoy the experiences you have had up to this point in WoW. Meeting crazy new people is always fun even if some on the internet are annoying and crude. In the end, cherish the good and strive for your goals till the end like real life.
