Started WoW Again

Well, on tuesday I was lvl 41. I played a few evenings, and last night I dinged 52. Not bad really... all I was doing was following QuestHelper and making a few creative decisions...
 
Can I ask why it is that everyone seems to be stuck in a, what I presume to be, WoW mindset that you must first level until you're capped before you can begin to experience an MMORPG properly? I remember people whining a few weeks after LOTRO's launch that they were level 50 and now there wasn't anything to do; again with AoC "I'm level 80 and bored, what a naff game...". Whatever happened to just working your way through at a steady pace and exploring everything as you go? Is endgame raiding/pvp all that an MMORPG is expected to provide?

WoW actually opens up a lot more at Level 70, unlike AoC which lacks end-game content.

im afraid there are too many that your description covers. i too like exploring, but i do enjoy the end game stuff ie getting the best gear because its cool.

Arena\Raiding\Heroics.

Not available til your max level. (Well, I guess you could raid MC etc at 60 but it'd be kind of weird)
 
I am doing nothing BUT questing... and it is efficient questing! Fun questing! None of this "wander around for hours trying to find a mob that is slightly differently named than the one you have killed 1800 times".

I used to have to use thottbot to try and find where the hell half of this stuff is, but now questhelper actually puts markers on the map, I can simply ride up and do the quests, everything isn't a nightmare of obscure descriptions and hidden items.

Before TBC, items on the ground that needed to be picked up didn't "glow". Quest givers didn't have ! markers on the map. etc etc. It was so easy just to miss a quest giver because the roof of a building was curved and you couldn't see the !, wasting countless hours and "follow up quests" that could have been done. Also, they remove the need for 25% of outdoor quests to be group based, because of elites - but no-one was ever around when you were ready to actually do the quest.

Quests still scale up in parties, but you group up because you *want* to group up, collecting stuff still requires more because of the extra need per person...

And I actually get to see the storylines faster too...
 
well i started playing again after 6 weeks, went cold turkey, i was a full on raider tho but now im just playing a bit during the day. i do mostly pvp, is it me or are decent druid healers invinsible, too imba.

its not patches im trying to get its the whole game incl TBC, then patches, ive moved house and cant find my discs. but have the books with codes.
 
ive just reinstalled wow. after installing tbc, i had a 1.1gb download on the blizzard downloader. When i went to bed last night around 12, it was running at 70 kb/s. For some reason when i got up in the night it wasnt running, but when i turned pc on this morning. Started it up and is running at 300 - 400 kb/s which isnt too bad really.
 
I would love to start playing this game again this summer as i've got a long time before university starts, but having played twice before, some things kind of put me off.

Firstly, playing on your own is awful, its just boring and depressing so I log off quite quickly.

Secondly, how hard it is to find a group for something at low level, no one plays low level characters anymore. So unless a new server comes up and quite a few people I know joined, then I won't start playing again, for now. :(
