Since Chris threw down the gauntlet, I had to play some WoW tonight (second time in the last few days), but I am nowhere near closing in on 70th level. I guess I am just not good at leveling, grinding, power gaming, or whatever you want to call it. I have a nice little quest in front of my right now where I am taking on some L38-40 bad guys; each are good for around 500XP per kill (thanks to rest state experience catch-up). I took out about 10 of these guys before calling it a night, which puts me just under half-way to L38. I figure I could grind here 2-3 more times this week for about 30 minutes, and maybe, just maybe, I can level.
When I first started playing, Chris said get to L60. Now it is get to L70. I am just not so sure I have it in me, which makes me a WoW flunky or something. I still have not been on a raid or played though an instance, so maybe I just more cut out to be a console gamer. That reminds me; I still need to open Elder Scrolls.
This game is a time sink. Takes forever to get to 70 and then you get the “fun” rep grind. Once you’re done with that, then it’s raiding and leveling that new character. There’s a reason why I only play two games at the moment :-). WoW isn’t for the time challenged or those with multiple games they want to play.
Funny you say that – WoW is not for the time challenged. Inspired by you (I guess) I spent some time with the game last night. This morning I spent about 25 minutes playing before work; good for about 4K experience. At lunch today I spent about 20 minutes; good for another 4K. So now I am about 30K short of L38. Doubt I can do that tonight, but I am sort of determined to get there now. Then I will probably not play for another week or two.
