I've tried to follow jame's at wow-pro.com, but its so janky compared to Joana's.

If you don't want to dick around with anything and you just want to get your character to level 70, Joana's guide will get you there. If you wanna do low lvl instances, quest randomly, explore then have fun, but there is no way I'm gonna play another character up to 70 w/out using a guide.

Plus, I've wasted more money playing poker, mtg, movies, shitty dates, etc to justify $30 to get my char to max level sooner than later. Just buy bud light instead of guiness for a month 8P

Joana's guide also tells you what zone to visit and when. Quest helper isn't gonna tell you to run to Stonetalon and do the first couple quests at lvl 15 because you have to get those quests for the addon to help you...
