People already 74. Exploiting?

[heyaz]

couple of 74s on my server by about noon today, not hard to believe - full tier 6, easy classes like hunters, played beta, have a guide. once they leveled out of the first zone it probably got faster, no competition for mobs

There was a post on the WoW forums about an EU guy hitting 80 in 13 hours. He had lots of helpers. He tagged the mobs, they killed them. He has print screens of the GM telling him it was okay, and then after he hit 80, they banned him and his team of carebears...

What I don't understand about the carebears is that if they were just killing what he had tagged, then they don't gain EXP, so how do they still help him at the higher levels???

There is much more to the story than just helpers getting him to level 80. That's fine to help other players level.

I'm going to assume he was lvling up using whatever method. Was wondering if it was legit so he tickted a GM to ask about it...which leads me to wonder how the hell he got a GM response in JUST 13 hours lol :evil:

If they are many enough, it wont matter if the mobs are 10 lvls higher

It's a game, seriously, don't think so hard on it.

I'm just curious that is all. I'm not getting worked up over it or anything. If these are legit methods then I enjoy hearing about them and what was done. I hit 71 with my pali and 3 shamans just a bit ago so i'm more than pleased with my progress. I'm leaving one of my shamans behind so that I can level with my fiance and quest together.

Remember its much quicker to level 1 character with probably the best damage gear in the game available than to level a 5 box team. You only have to look at the damage meter on that 80 warlock to know that. Some 5 box teams wouldnt pull 2kdps between them.

Theres a freaking 72 DK on my server irght now int he nexus.. WTF...

First, its a ton easier leveling one character than multiboxing. There are quite a few 76s on my server already.

There is a really simple trick, beyond stuff like having 0 downtime, instance grinding, specing for fast kills, etc. DONT LOOT. You waste a ton of time looting. However, I think this is just dumb. I'd rather have all the gold, profession mats, etc and take an extra few days than to hit 80 first and sit around bored.

One of my guildies is 74 and he is a ret pally, he says they never loot anything except bosses and he is running in a group that is just grinding instances 18 hours a day (they are sleeping for 5-6, lol). That seems incredibly boring and a horrible way to experience WOTLK personally, but to each his own.

Same here.

First I have to say that I really like this forum and besides a few of the ass hats most in here are realy cool and helpful but when stories like this or the Prepared story come out a lot of you say the same things that people say to us when they see us boxing. "The game is not hard" "You are not playing the game right" "You are not experiencing the game".

Let's use the same argument that many of us have macroed. Some play the game for different reasons.
