I'm a fairly new player. Played awhile ago and left due to the ARR grind, it was simply too much for me with the free time I had. Ihave come back as my fiancee plays as does her mother, so I'm the designated tank. I'm at lvl 45 Paladn currently and by lord, ARR iss til a struggle.
The pacing seems very laboured. It seems to follow a pattern of build up to something big and then last minute swerve into a side tangent of fetch/run backwards and forwards quests for next 3hours before you can carry on type of affair.
I've never both loved and loathed a game so much in my life!
I started again on twintania when I came back thinking that the x2 xp would solve the issue, not really when the penny drops I was about 3 weeks of mso behind my paladin main I gave up and carried on with my paladin. Some of you may like the glacial pace of the game in the early stage, I keep being told HW onwards is great but it's getting there...

This does need looking at, the supposed disjointed pace between ARR and the rest needs resolving. How many people have quit before hitting HW I wonder?
