Back in my day…
June 25th, 2008As most WoW players probably already know, the next patch will be lowering the level at which you can buy mounts from 40 to 30, as well as reducing the cost to 35 gold. This is just the most recent in a long string of changes meant to help players level faster, in anticipation of the ten additional levels they’ll be adding with the next expansion pack.
Many of us that have been playing for more than a year (and therefore feel like we can call ourselves “old timers”) meet these changes with mixed feelings. Sure, they help us level our low level alts faster, but there is a narrow range between “too hard to be fun” and “too easy to be fun.” Easy mode is not always a good thing.
That, and the new players might not appreciate their mounts, epics, and more if they don’t have to work as hard to get them.
If i didn’t feel old before, I sure do, now.
