It does make the game much more enjoyable haha.  Fast enough to keep you motivated to ding again soon while still moving you through the lore and some of the stories.  I think that the game played on “regular” speed the first time through was fine.  It might have drug on a little bit here and there but for the most part you had to finish every single aspect of each and every area to progress through the game.  After doing that a couple times, it really becomes an unappealing grind to level up again.  One that I’ve been loathe to do as atested to by my plethora of level 20 and 30 something toons.

Here’s my big suggestion for WoW.. There should be something in the regular game available to everyone to speed up the leveling process I believe.  Say something like.. after you hit the level cap on one character.. there’s double expo (and quest expo) for all other toons.  After your 2nd character hits level cap then you are awarded triple expo on your account.  That would match the Refer-a-Friend bonus and it makes a lot of sense to me.

I thought that the trolls were kinda undergeared hitting the outlands at 58.. their item level average would’ve been around 50..  but the average of all Treant’s gear’s item level is probably low 30′s hah.  Time to make a new set of macro’s and run him around with somebody.. maybe go Resto on Treant now and have Rossa and him duo all the non-70 dungeons to get Treant some gear.

Rossa would need some healing on the bosses in places like Ramparts/Blood Furnace and Slave Pens/Underbog.  Can solo all the trash easily enough.  The incoming heals though would be nice for mana regen and I might not have any downtime. All the triple expo stops at 60 anyway so that doesn’t matter anymore.
