Well ya you kinda "reset" when a new expansion comes out but I don't look at it like that. If I'm at level 75 when the new expansion goes to 80, I'm 75/80 of the way there, sure I didn't lose all the time spent getting to 75.
Is wow different?
Oh I kinda thought the site would go under if Xzin left lol, I guess thats obviously not the case.
If you really have enough money then you should stop doing anything you don't want to do. Just gettting more and more money for whatever reason is a waste of time if you don't enjoy what you are doing to get it.
I don't understand dont you have a TON more of things to do in WoW or is the game so short taht you do it all this fast ...
I've been on a personal break since a month ago, decided it was time to work on finding out what the heck makes my muscles randomly flare up in pain so bad I cannot even use a computer or do household chores, much less handle a job of any kind.
Real life > Games, always. No matter how fun or addictive a game is or how many people need you for a raid, your life goes first. When there's more life in your dirty dishes than in your weekend nights that's a good sign too. When you suddenly realize that you've done everything in WoW, you know every single step of it from start to finish and how to tackle any potential problem that arises - that's the signal that says you're probably not going to have much more to get from the game no matter how many boxes.
Which was my case. Raided on my hunter until March this year, reactivated in July and I never got my highly beloved priest duo past 42, they were stuck at that level for two weeks of playtime, bothering me like a boil on my ass.
Good luck with the businesses Xzin, I'm going to keep dreaming of opening my own studio some day :) hope to see you in whatever's next
If someone asks me about multiboxing heroes I'll say:
"Those 40+ SFF boxes with two monitors was a bot operation, this guy right here who tenboxed was the real deal"
Sam, I do what I love. Life is far, far too short to waste otherwise. One of the side effects of doing what I love is wealth creation. Well, maybe not for WoW :) but I do what makes me happy. Everybody has something that makes them get out of bed each day and I truly love the creative elements that go into creating companies or designing a top of the line 10 boxing rig. The sheer complexity of everything is so fascinating to me. I love finding all sorts of creative solutions to things and then making it happen. I encourage all people to follow their dreams in whatever they do, WoW or otherwise. Do what makes YOU happy.
So, Zin, is your stuff still set up enough to get a big guild screenie together before you disappear for a bit? :P
Yes it is still all setup. I designed it to be dual use. Heh. Not sure all are active though.

I seriously doubt that Blizzard will repeat that major of an item reset with the next expansion. The items you get now are for helping conquer the content of the future and/or help progress PvP.
But at the same time each stage of life also in many ways resets you to level 1. You start college, you no longer have the same complete network of people, you're a freshman not a senior, etc.
Or you start work out of school, you're starting over again ... very few people start out at the top. Some do, like you Xzin, and for a lot of people those at the top are what drives them forward.
I meant "level one" not level one. As a 60 at the start of BC you will replace EVERYTHING by 70. So all those PvP rewards, T3 loot - gone. Helpful at 60 but at 70? Worthless.
I get the reasoning behind it. But it just annoys me to do so much and have nothing or very little to show for it. If you enjoy the experience then fine I guess. I would rather spend my time right now on something fun and interesting that is not going to "soft reset" come the next expansion because for me, that's just not fun. Especially knowing they are increasing the leveling rates "soon".
There is more to it than just that but I thought my stance needed a bit more clarification.
So you are going to wait to finish levelling up Xzin when they speed up the 20-60 process?
Xzin is 60. If/when I comeback to WoW then yes, it will be nice.
All this said, I leveled from 1-60 in EQ (solo) and I gotta say, WoW is so much easier to level. There is no comparison. I have NO desire to level through that again for any game. Thats not even starting on AA points.
