More Horizontal Progression please

So much of WoW is like an abandoned ghost town, it doesn't make sense to follow in its footsteps.

Because leveling via dungeons is faster than overland questing.

New Draenor is empty as well, mostly because the game has you sequestered into your garrison for most of it. The game drastically turned into a facebook game and it's ridiculous.

And I don't know about you, but in a game where leveling alts is possible, after about the 20th I don't want to do it anymore. I've purchased a grand total of 1 level 90. EQ2 even did it first, and they're cheaper! A LOT cheaper. But everyone blames WoW for starting it.-_-

I didn't know that this was something to brag about, or even something that doesn't get you ridiculed when you admit it.

It isn't. People act like it's the end of the world however.

When I got it, it became my 7th level 100. This is after 11 level 90 characters before. New server, new faction, needed for raiding. My options were: drop 60 bucks on it, or be hassled for two days to actually bothering to level a character of a class I already have. In fact, I actually debated on just transferring my existing druid, but to do that would have cost almost nearly as much($55 USD, 25 for transfer, 30 for faction change, no bundle discounts). Ultimately, it's my money, and I can do it if I want to.

That said, EQ2's are something like 30 or 35, they come with a boatload of AA points, and you get to actually play the character before you put money down for it... a try before you buy feature.

Edit: one of the "selling points" they used for Warlords of Draenor, btw, was the level 90 character boost they added. So everyone that bought that expansion got a "free" 90.

Microtransactions have become a common, though despised, thing these days. Had this been a decade ago, you would certainly be tarred and feathered for it. To me, I place these things in the same category as those who complain about something they have full control over not continuing payment for. You do with your money what you want. I'm old enough to know that with how entertainment works these days, there will practically always be something out there for me to throw my money at, and if any given source chooses to go with something I enjoy, my money goes to them for as long as I enjoy it.
