Breakfast Topic: Where My Altaholics At?
In these dark days before the dawn of patch 2.3, one must wonder; where are all the alts? Before the advent of speedier levelling, of an expanded Dustwallow Marsh, of improved dungeon loot and more experience for all; is anyone bravely soldiering on?
On the bright side, I genuinely feel that this experience will separate the true altaholics from the wannabes. If you simply cannot pry yourself away, even if you are passing your Dustwallow days as we speak, then you my friend, have a problem.
I once had a couple join my guild who claimed that they enjoyed levelling. They would level their characters to 60 or 70, maybe, and then drop them and begin again. Why? They felt Outland, and end-game, and anything other than levelling, was really fairly boring. Is anyone else out there actually regretting the upcoming hastened levelling experience?
For anyone levelling their first character, this situation must present quite the conundrum. To continue questing and grinding, or to hop on a plane to Fiji and return to rested XP and speedy goodness? Perhaps this is not impacting your life quite so dramatically; maybe, you will simply show your face at the dinner table once or twice in the upcoming weeks.
Let us know how living pre-patch 2.3 has been impacting your gameplay.
