Did someone use the word “skill”?

Leveling a Wow toon to 80 in 30 hours straight: put that on your CV folks!

I would like to mock this guy for playing 30 hours straight, really i would. But I remember back in college when I was playing everquest, I blew off my way-too-cute-for-me girlfriend to camp the “Ancient Cyclops” for two days straight with the help of a friend. You pretty much can’t get any nerdier than that!
Although the quests are very much wow style (kill x of x) they seem pretty easy so far. In just a couple hours of play I was over half way through 70 and im full resto shaman.

I’d Imagine that this is no different then going on a binger for a day or two during the great college years, except, you’re playing WoW and drinking Rockstar or your favorite energy drink…maybe even Dew..

Bah Warlocks! and double bah Alliance!

Wooopie he did it with starting epic gear. I want to see him do it in 24hrs in all greens/blues like 95% of the population of WOW is on then see how long it takes :p

When I read this one of the reasons I quit the game came back vividly. And I smiled.

It’s a good game, though. Just not for me anymore.

Blizzard just needs to have a service where you pay $50 to start a level 80 character. With all of the bonuses you get to leveling (300% XP boost if you group with a referred character, etc.) this will probably become a reality in the near future.

I don’t think that it is disturbing that the best, professional (as in, paid money) players can finish the entry level raids quickly.

Especially since the first raid is actually a reboot of a vanilla wow raid which they all knew very well and they had plenty of time in beta to test and thoroughly plan each instance.

Previously Blizzard has been know to make inital raids really hard, including all sorts of bugs and gear checks to slow progression until they are ready with their next patch and their next lot of content. After the pro raiders beat the buggy hard content they would reduce the difficulty so everyone else can beat it too. This time they seem to have put it in at the correct (entry level) difficulty first time, hence the pro guilds shooting through it so fast.

You will hear the pro guilds talk about the original 25 man BC raids and how they contained the hardest encounters they had ever faced in their original conception. While the pro raiders might have loved those inital challenges, the rest of the world certainly did not.

As a bit of an update, my brother told me that Nihilium and SK Gaming – the TBC-world leaders of content – have apparently cleared ALL PvE content already. Disturbing? Yes – but disturbing to who? Dedicated, hardcore players spending too much time and energy in a game, or disturbing that Blizzard developed content so easily destroyed?

And now the raid content has been conquered by a guild, seemingly. Interesting reactions coming out of that one.
