Anyone done 1-60 non-raf recently?

1-80 (dinged yesterday) without raf

5 shaman group levelled with questing and no collection quests, until northrend.

The major problem I ran into 1-60 was running out of non-collection quests (resorted to grinding which really sucks with the group xp penalty) and also having to do 2 quests per zone across 4 or 5 zones at times (travel time was ridiculous).

If I do it again
- accept all collection quests, switch to group loot and only do the ones that give either 100% drop rates or one drop for all. Abandon any other collection quests as a waste of time.
- stay in each area (classic, tbc) until ALL possible non-collection quests have been done so you don't run out of quests and have to grind
- do not go to northrend until at least lvl70 (preferably higher) so, if possible, you can avoid some of the collection quest chains in borean tundra/howling fjord/dragonblight
- have a trinity/tank+dps group so instance runs are an option

It's definitely do-able but without either a tank or booster for instance runs it can seem never ending.

I have lvl ~64 team which i have mostly boosted through instances. Just checked /played on my hunter and it's 3 days, 9 hours, from which at least 1/4 is idle time.

I can easily spend an hour browsing web and clearing AFK from my toons every now and then...
