Leveling 80-85 methods

[Shodokan]

Yeah... no I just did it, and it took >10 hours. That was Before cross realm zones, with zero ganking. The cata questing areas are warzones now, you can barely zone in or pick up a quest without being gibbed by multiple 90s. I know because I also participate in some of this ganking and no one can even so much as pick up a quest or fly out of the sanctuary in deepholm without exploding.

I know you always leveled faster, got higher rating, made more gold, got the power up and won the game... but not all of us can get those kind of scores, if you know what I mean. I'm talking real world, average questing, it's not 8 hours.

The deepholm area can be done in 6-8 hours pressing 2 buttons, so I think it's a viable way to level, if only for a few levels if questing is just not your thing or the ganking is too bad.

If I was just terribly slow at questing I offer this not as a faster way but a mindless button mash to 85 if you just don't want to quest every one of your alt teams to 85.

First off the personal jab was unwarranted.

I'm not trying to discount this as a means to leveling. It is a great means to do so ESPECIALLY with the 3x exp potion since its BOA (thats how i leveled my last group, this area). It is also the single best means to make gold while leveling your alts so in the future this is where i will be leveling anyway.

Ganking is rampant but its still not THAT bad. Personally the worst I've had it is about 30 mins wasted from being ganked, if i'm constantly getting ganked i just go do something else with my time and come back (this isn't leveling time). Deepholm is probably the worst place for ganking though from my experience.

I'm not putting myself on some pedestal by saying that normally it takes about 7ish hours to quest to 85 from 80, if you aren't ganked non stop then it should take about that long. A lot of people hate leveling (myself included) and this is a great means to do so... but you can get ganked here just as much like you said even if you fly in the air, or your main gets ganked.

Also you can block the IP to CRZ server and only interact with people on your server in those areas if your router allows that sort of thing (i don't do this personally but i know people who do when farming) if ganking is THAT bad for you from other servers.
