Only, nobody actually wants that anyway. Lol.
We don't know enough details about leveling in 2.0 to make that determination. All we know is that it will be quest driven and faster than what we have now -- a description that would fit any other game mentioned in this thread.

I do agree that no body wants a "World of Final Fantasycraft"; I've said as much in other threads. However, that doesn't mean Yoshi should forsake everything about WOW, it actually did plenty right and there is a lot he can take and apply here that will improve the experience for both hardcore and casual gamers.
