I got to level 28 and thought fuck this. It is a disgustingly bad game for repetitive grinds; you complete one area, move ahead, do the same quests, just reworked into killing a higher number of higher level creatures, maybe looting some new gear and carrying on. And its worse, especially when clans won't accept you or people won't group. Maybe i just had a bad experience i guess.
Carbonite + Friends + Music = What Grind?
what grind?
i just get immersed with the lore and enjoy it
only "grind" feeling you get is 10-20 in the barrens when you have no mount and have to walk 20 miles just to get anywhere
I'm level 31 with 2 days played (horrible), and I haven't felt any grind yet.
[QUOTE=ketchup;15573189]Quests are quicker than instances unless you have a group to do them over and over.[/QUOTE]
Yeah... I noticed questing is faster.
The friends that out leveled me did instances with me maybe about 2-3 times a day. It was fun.
[QUOTE=ketchup;15527362]This is how bad players play.
Stop thinking about it, throw on some music, and quest your heart out for a few hours a day. You will hit 80 in a week and a half.[/QUOTE]
Cool! Hit 80... Do some piss easy raids... Do horrible arena/bg... then... oh wait, nothing left.
I found Outlands most annoying, well Zangarmarsh. Northrend though, 68-80 was piss easy. 2 or 3 Levels a day completed every region in a snap.

[QUOTE=huntskikbut;15524964]For those of you at 80; how did you manage to grind through 80 levels of the same quests, creatures, etc?
To me it gets very repetitive, but the dungeons / raids were sometimes fun. I got to 70 then gave up cause 70-80 was way slower than 60-70 ( yes, I did 60-70 during BC times, not WOTLC ) .
How did you guys cope?[/QUOTE]
Well, some people find endless questing fun. I know I did.
What I did was usually get 6 bars, then go outside or play something else. In the following hour, I had the urge to quest again after it got boring.
That's basically how I rolled through 71-80 without much of a thought really.
61-70 takes a week, flat. All you do is go HP, Terrokar, then go to Nagrand.

I fucking hate that, I'm in the Barrens now on a 19 warrior and it sucks major dick walking all over. Especially when you have to go to Stonetalon Mountains, at least the first time so you can get the flight path.
Levelling is either one of those things were you love it or you hate it, I really arent fond of it and if you do happen to get bored of your character just give it a break for a week or so and come back to it, it may be slow but you will eventually hit 80.

Don't do Stonetalon. Do 20-25 Hillsbrand and 25-30+ Thousand Needles, and from there on STV.
That might look boring, as those areas have a lot of grind quests. But actually it's a breeze if you're rested, since you'll gain almost 400xp per mob ( at least I am getting that at level 26 with my Hunter alt in Thousand Needles ). That only totals to about 60+ mob kills for a level, but that's without rewarded quest XP. So you can do a level with just a couple of quests really. Stv will be a breeze for my hunter.
[QUOTE=christarpx3;15525003]the only agonizing grind that I actually NOTICED in the game was from level 51 to level 58, from there it was smooth sailing and I thought it was a lot of fun[/QUOTE]
Oh god the memories D-:
[QUOTE=stealth_camo;15525678]51-58 is fucking awful.[/QUOTE]
Oh god don't remind me! I can't remember how it was on my hunter, but on my pala it was horrible, and now i am lvling a rogue (48 atm) so... I just gotta try to cope with it :saddowns:
I thought 51-58 was fun.
I think you guys are just babies.
I just hit 40.
I can honestly say, so far, grind has not been a problem.
I'm 67 and the grind is creeping in again, thankfully I get to go to northrend in one more level.
Yes there is grind, but 90% of people just shut the fuck up and powered through it. The other 10%, well, we see here exactly what happens.
I use zygor guides, one of the best guides out there, maybe even [b]the[/b] best! When grinding with this on, it feels so easy, 3-4 hours of grinding feels like 1 hour, and it is simply amazing, I am currently 68, but could have been higher if I haven't used time on making a 39 twink.
Worst grind in BC were 51 - 62...you were underpowered, undergeared, and always seemed to be doing quests two levels too hard.
Now, however, its hard to get the motivation to level alts...I mean, it's 80 levels.

wtf
ass
I cope nowadays with a healthy dose of Heirloom overkill coupled with some in-game levelling guide mods. Wonderful.
When I was into WoW, I didn't notice the grind at all for a while, the overall population of the game kept me into it (having come from 5 years of SWG and walking through endless ghost towns) cause I wasn't used to so many people.
I did feel the grind after 25 (having gotten 4 characters to 30-40 before I decided on my main) or so, but I just used my normal grinding method, in which I grab as many quests as I can that are within the nearby area, and then grind my way to each quest. With a set goal it wasn't so much the feeling of grinding toward the quests but rather everything i killed was in my way. Combine that with music + Vent (or any other voice chat) it goes by pretty smooth.
It worked quite well for me since i killed everything along the way, usually got at least a level after I turned in the quests (in what I refer to as a "run")
Actually thinking of going back to it after my year+ leave. WoW was too basic for my tastes, but I miss games with population. And I dislike EVE.
On my level 63 rogue, I do one level a day then log. I can do the one level pretty fast and think of it as a chore of some sort. I forget its actually a game until I'm 80.
I got to 60 via powerleveling, heirlooms, pots and not creaming over new blues every 2 levels.
