I don't see this a screwing over anyone. The game is aging and if they don't make changes like this to keep it accessible to potentially new customers then the atrophy of customers will increase, life isnt fair but you dont see me complaining that kids in Jr. High have cell phones when they didnt exist when I went. Makeing it quicker for people to get around as well as level through 4 year old content is in everyone's best interest. No established customer outside of just doing it because they can would want to slog through the old school grind to 60 when the running average was about 10 days played time before all the XP changes. Speed levelers could do it faster, but everyone I played with 10 days is about what it took. That's about how long it takes now to get to 80.

What they need to offer is flight point training for vanilla wow. A new DK magicaly gets every FP in the game, yet if you want to make a new Hunter or other class, you have to spend hours getting your flight points, Hell I dont even have like a 1/3 of them on my guys.

I would like to see a pair of new starting zones for each faction that is quest chained like the DK starting area, but this one is for all other classes so you can just start a new guy at 55 like the DK's and start retooling some of vanilla wow to the level 80 game. Why is it we can defeat old gods, Aspects, and Epic evil, but we cant take back Gnomeron from a bunch of Troggs?
