Hi Folks,

First - thanks to all of you - great site & community. Been lurking for 2 months now... But tonight I got frustrated enough that I need a little perspective... Anyone else having problems granting RAF levels to their Veteran toons? I just got my 3rd team of boxers to level 60 tonight - woohoo! This was my first set of shammies - and I see now why all the shammie love is shared on the forums... Anyway - I had 2 level 40 toons ready to get boosted to 60 in 5 mins ;) and for both of them - I was only able to grant 9 levels - at 49 the "grant a level" option greyed out!!! Talk about frustrating! Opened a ticket - but no patience (and no sleep) - will qq with blizz tomorrow - but wanted to check here to see if anyone else has seen this issue? I am a little frustrated here ;0 Was boosting a Mage (finally a portal toon!) and a Rogue (finally open my own Lockboxes) and was really looking forward to pimping them out at 60+...

Some background - I have already "grant a level" boosted another toon a month ago from 37 or so to 60 - WOOHOOO - what a rush. So I know how it works... I did not do any grants on these new shammies - was waiting for 60 to do it all at once...

Thanks for any comments & keep up the great site & content.

PS A little more background:

Main server is Azjol-Nerub. Had 4 70's leveled up one-at-a-time on two separate accounts (never ever struck me to run both at once - except for AH action on the side) and was really bored with the 5th at lvl 66 when I saw a pack of locks stroll by one of my lowbie alts in the Barrrens one day.... And marvelled that they were blowing the crap out of everything in sight... Searched a bit & googled & ran into this site - and read about this new RAF thing... Next day I had 4 accounts, a copy of Keyclone & wrote my first ever macro. Tried 4 SPriests first (my main main is SPriest - really like them) and they really sucked - couldn't even clean trash in RFC at lvl 16. So I rolled 4 hunters & watched V's video on hunters pounding down VC - and long story short - I have 4x Ally hunters parked at 60 and 4x Horde hunters parked at 60 right now. Haven't been out to the isle doing dailies in 8 weeks - woohoo! (But my gold pile is shrinking - cost money to level toons RAF fast...) (also - I can't wait for 4x rhinos in Ramps & beyond - woohoo) Leveling all my solo toons I really didn't do many instances - PUGs were usually a mess. So I was really thrilled that the hunters cleared out everything and my first set (Ally) did almost nothing but instances from 23 to 56. After two months of pushing these teams through - not sure I quite remember how to play solo... WIth old alts & new teams - I have 18 toons at 60+ and would like to get 19/20 done soon too! Can't decide if this is enough for now and I should switch to getting ready for WotLK - or if these last 30 days of RAF are too good to pass up. Hmmm maybe a set of mages? or locks? or druids? or can I get spriests to work finally??? Guess that's why boxing is so much fun - lotso options ;) Cheers, Sing...

Sounds odd to me. I haven't used my bonus levels yet to grant anything to my main account's alts, but from the FAQ below it sounds like it's not working as it should.

I'm hoping this gets fixed as well.

Before RAF I had 5 accounts. To boost some toons, I closed two accounts and transferred some the toons off those accounts to my other 3 accounts. Afterwards I leveled 2 groups of 4 to 60 and will have a third group to 60 tomorrow (assuming maintenance doesn't kill my server moreso than it already has been -- Stormrage). I haven't granted a single level yet meaning I would theortically have 174 levels to grant (6 x 29) but that's assuming they get the problem fixed.

If they don't fix the problem, I'm not sure what I'll do but that was a good bit of time and money invested with the explicit intent of being able to grant a couple toons to 60.

Thanks for the links & advice here folks. Failed on the "search for an answer before venting".

Yuck - only 9 levels since patch day last week - about right - but way behind normal schedule. Too much time with Macros & Bindings & Action Bars & dreaded AddOn updates....

Anyone have a good method or system for dealing with Patch issues for a MBer?

Oh and time spent farming Herbs to power level Inscriptions ;) And taming new koolio hunter pets... On the whole, this new patch is great - IF they can fix the lag & other issues.

Crossing fingers for the fix...

Cheers,
