The Not so Fast Grind

My main is big bad Grim. Yet he’s still not level 80 yet! I really thought that come the expansion me and Kiri would sit down and hammer our way directly to 80, not bothering to smell the roses.

We often spoke how we came late to the BC party.  Running dungeons almost a year after they launched, missing out on all the shiny new stuff, when it was well, shiny and new :P

But we haven’t taken that path at all. Infact we have taken an almost casual pace to levelling.  At the same time we have also been playing alts, who range from levels 50-70 (so much for having enough of old content hehe).   What has caused us to act like this? You know I think it might have something to do with….

After the break!

Our age?

We are hardly ‘kids’ any more so maybe we want to get the best ‘bang for buck’ experience out of Wrath. There’s no point rushing to max level missing out all the content is there?  Now I know you can always come back and go over the content you have missed.  Its not the same for me at all though.  There is no sense of achievement walking up to grey/green conned mobs and ganking them into the abyss, its hardly a challenge.

Not wanting to Burnout?

Playing the same class none stop doing the same things can get old fairly fast.  This is of course the main cause of people taking breaks from WoW and stopping playing all together.  Myself I have a 62 Warlock, 70 Paladin and 78 Warrior.  So there are all three ‘classic’ play styles right there for me to play with.  90% of my play time is taken up with Kirioth at my side on which ever toon he wants to play.  We have no issues at all about logging onto our lower level alts for a few hours.  It just depends on what we feel like doing at the time, after all we need to have fun playing WoW so that’s what we aim for at all times!

I can’t really think of anything else that’s stopped us from just becoming hell-bent on xp and storming our way to 80.

So yeah we are stopping to smell the roses, are you?
