I’ll put my notebook next to my pc keyboard. Start a ‘friends’ account and put my toon on follow. have them follow my main as i run and re run instance after instance.

i’ll pick up a few ppl from trade chat paying for runs then away i go. I wonder how long it would be before my level 70 couldn’t carry the toon through instances in a follow configuration.

Could a level 70 resto heal 3 active players and one leach through ramparts?

free xp and the toon never has to do a thing other than loot.

To be honest i have neither the time nor the inclination

I think this is a symptom of wow running expansion packs to keep existing subscribers. I suspect the work they are doing to keep us is making it less attractive for new players (people without a level 70 mate)

Notice how they have already tweaked questing rewards in 2.4, mounts at 30. To help the new people but to keep us happy Darknights are leveled up through the grind.

It must be a difficult balancing act. How do you let casual players feel that level 100 is achievable and still add new content for the bread and butter of their client base (level 100 is coming might be 2010 but its coming ).

I would hate to level from 1-70 without having an alt to feed me money and run me through instances

I think this is the early signs that they are beginning to turn new clients away. It would interesting to know the drop out rate compared to the early days.

Look how many guilds now offering high level assistance to level you up.

How long before your new account comes with a level 60, 2 level 50s and 3 40s with mounts?

they need to keep the regulars hooked as well as drag in new punters. Interesting times ahead IMHO
