People already 74. Exploiting?

[elsegundo]

most death knights should be mid 60s and early 70s by now. no surprise.
and those who started at 70... they should be almost 80 by now. i expect a bunch to hit 80 and stand in Org/IF pseudo-afk for hours just to gloat come tonight or tomorrow morning.

Theres 2 Level 80s in Alliance Bonechewer at the moment.. Apparently theres a 1min slack for the 1st to level 80 achievement.. So 2 people got the achievement in bonechewer US

My DK just hit 70 today, and is already almost 72. If I were playing my original team, I'd be mid-upper 70s I'm sure. For me, it makes more sense to get max level quick, then smell the roses. There's more available to do at 80 than there is at 71 as an example. As was stated earlier, we each play the game differently. I've played the game "exploring" the content as I go along, and that's fine. It took me a lot longer to level, and I eventually ended up feeling left behind and that I was missing out on fun with my friends and guildmates, so in the end I started power levelling anyway just to catch up. I DID however take a little time (a few hours) to work on enchanting for my DK, mainly because I wanted to be able to DE all those drops and quest items. Right now, I'm levelling the DK alongside my Shamans. My mixed team just has absolutely no gear since they were RAFd up, and no epic mounts even. I can't be bothered to get them up to speed right now.

Just got this message on Eldre'Thalas:

[Brick] has earned the achievement [Realm First! Level 80 Rogue]!

Yeesh.

The new nihilum/sk guild have already cleared every piece of lvl 80 raid content so dont be suprised to see people hitting 80 now :P

]I saw a level 71 DK in my server earlier. he may be 72 by now.

That doesn't shock me any. The group I want to start WotLK with is almost ready for northrend, and I've seen PLENTY of DK's already past my level. That class starts with great gear right off the bat and has a pretty quick learning curve, IMO.
