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.

no

People wont know how the !%#* to play their class. Leveling is all part of the journey

and 1-55 teaches you everything...

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.

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

friend recruit 19hr lvl 60s? kthanxbye

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.
