I remember a topic concerning this, and I read it but I was leveling my first toon (more appropriately my first toon to 80), and felt although it could be quicker and the instances more populated, it was however appropriate.

Now I want to roll an alt, but I lose all motivation after half a level. I think about all the zones I'm going to have to go through, Wetlands, Duskwood, Tanaris, Thousand Needles, Hillsbrad. Killing beetles, alone. Not to demean your effort Blizz, but haven't I suffered enough 1-60? An alt can't do battle grounds, can't raid, can't fly, can't ride, I don't even have half the abilities because you balanced the game around being 80.

I know the core argument is that --- "everyone would have one of every character!!" This is why there's so many DK re-rolls, because people want an Alt and soon as they log in to as Level 1 they log back out and decide that their old character isn't that bad.

At the very least, starting alts at 55 would allow you to get a better feel for each class . Am I supposed to level each class to 80 to decide if I like it? If that's the case, allow test characters who are locked at 55.

Is 2 days /played really that much for you? That is what it takes for me if I am fooling around to get to 55.

I think leveling your first class to 55 gives you a pretty solid grasp on the basics of auto-attack and running on adds.

55-80 is plenty of time to learn "what does this button do"

No life oh ok.

Your thread is more intriguing than the number of licks it takes to reach the center of a lollipop.

Stop trolling the forums and maybe you'd have a new toon at 55 by now.

I agree somewhat. However, I don't think you should be allowed to create more than one of these a month.

I have an idea: Why not allow all players to do this, but if you do, your character permanently gets 10% reduced total stats (so even buffed it will be reduced, AFTER buffs), and can't benefit from BoA items.

At least it's a suggestion, as opposed to the mindless dismissals so easy offered up.

This idea would allow toying around with a class, which is a big part of making a new character. And for the person saying "2 days /played", screenshot? On this toon, I took a screenshot at 55 and it was 5 days played....5 days = 192 hours, at 8 HOURS A DAY that's almost a full month of playing.

What you really mean is Blizzard should let you start Paladins at 55.

1-55 only teaches you the basics about the game. Once you've played one class to 55, the rest are nearly the same. 56-80 is plenty of time to learn the individual characteristics of talents and class abilities. Anyone who thinks it takes 80 levels to learn how to play a character is just a downright sped.

Well, yes, that was the alt I wanted to roll. By the time I get to 80 they won't be faceroll platedps anymore.

What's the point in starting a level 1 Paladin over a DK. Yeah their buffs stack, but really. Am I going to subject myself to that.

No. Leveling is as much apart of the game as anything else.

Patch day reminds me of when I was a teen and my mother ran a daycare. I look around and all I see are whiny babies.

We've seen requests to add a /level or similar feature before. I can tell you, this is not something we have plans to implement currently, or in the near future. We believe that there is still value and entertainment to be had in the various Terrestrial Azerothian zones.
