Its EASY.
Not easy. First you have to find a friend that is actually NOT playing the game yet, then talk them into playing for 60 days.
If you do it yourself, that's a whole other account to pay for, and a whole other CD key to buy, assuming you just keep it classic and don't install any expansions.

Q u o t e:
Very easy. But there are some runs pre 30 that are just way too time consuming.
I have a human pally raf'd with a nelf druid. Did the quests on the human side and decided in the 20s to go to Wetlands. SW tram to IF, IF to Loch Modan, Loch Modan to Wetlands and of course, the FP has to be on the furthest coast. What a time consuming run.
For new characters, they can atleast give all the 1-20 zone FP to them.
If you choose to switch to a zone that isn't along the ideal 'progression' route, then you should expect a longer run than normal. The prescribed projection for the Human zones is to go from Elwynn, to Westfall, to Redridge and Duskwood. Switching over to Wetlands should take more effort since Wetlands is part of the Dun Morogh, to Loch Modan, to Wetlands progression.
One thing about traveling from zone to zone especially at the lower levels is that Blizz put quests along the path to help the newbie along and point him in the right direction. The quest from Razor Hill sends the newbie to the edge of the Barrens and there they get a quest sending them to Crossroads. If the newbie just flies from Org to Crossroads he will have to back track to turn in the zone edge quest and get the one that sends him to Crossroads. Almost every 1-10 to 10-20 zone path has a few quests along the path that the newbie is expected to take.
Sure, running to a new zone and picking up a flight path is kind of boring but to me it always felt like a mini-achievement to graduate to a new zone and establish my claim (picking up the fp) to it. It's a one-time run and usually worth it when you consider the quests you pick up (or drop off) along the way that you would have had to back-track to get if you had instant flight paths.
If Blizz makes leveling much faster, they'd probably be better off just selling pre-made level cap characters and make some money off of it and put the people who sell characters on eBay out of business. I prefer spending some time and effort to level and learn how to play my character and enjoy the tons of content rather than have yet another 80 to grind out dailies with. I don't play alts for the purpose of having more 80s. I play alts because I enjoy learning new classes and doing something different than just raid and farm gold and mats. I enjoy the fun of getting them upgrades and getting some of the more difficult quest chains done. I enjoy the journey through the levels rather than focus entirely on what I'm going to do with the character when (or if) it hits 80.

Q u o t e:
That'd be pretty handy, I like it. They could also just nerf the payoff for those quests for all characters created with the all flight paths option.
I like this idea. Have you posted it to Suggestions?
Nah I haven't, I don't expect blizzard to do anything really. I think the common blizzard poster probably has 2 characters, maybe 3 (that they might not have even had to actually level).. so I don't expect them to feel for anybody who's been through the original 2 azeroth continents 10+ times. It's all just a thought.
Maybe a boa map that as long as your alt has it they get the flight paths, so it can be sent to other alts.

Q u o t e:
So not reading this
So stay close minded and ignorant ya' silly Redneck! I read it and I'd say for me, I have to agree with it. Not all of us level alts simply to have another level 80 character, some of us enjoy the leveling process.
What this country needs is more free speech worth listening to.

This, 1-60 in 1 day played or less. Or just get quest helper (or any other quest assist program) and not suck. Only do quests that are close to each other, don't run half way accross the map for 1 quest etc, it's not that hard. I'm averaging 1 hour to 1.5 hours so far on the 60-70 grind, it's simple.

Bornakk are you referring to the mount changes that already occured, or are there going to be any new changes? I think something should be done about alts, i have 3 alts im taking through northrend and i really dont want to farm up 15k for epic flyers
Edit for idea
How about a mount that is obtainable through badges/stonekeeper shards that flys at 280% regardless of of riding skill (bind on account)
