man, I feel your pain. WoW leveling stopped being fun a couple of weeks ago and now it's more of a chore. Yes, it's just a game, but it does stink that you have to go through this boring crap to get to the parts you enjoy (getting gear that matter at lvl 80, arena, heroics, etc). Luckly I'm now 79 with my three druids and should hit 80 on tomorrow.

I don't know what advice to give other than make sure you have some big plans for 80. I really don't see how anyone can level a team to 80 only to start out again, but if that's what floats their boat then cool.
