I can second that. Its a looooong grind. I have done it with my druid team. Currently lvl. 55, and I must say it takes a long time. Again its my first team so I have spend a long time configuring macros etc. but I have truly enjoyed it. But its also because im a late starter at wow, and alot of instances etc. is unknown to me. So im always excited when entering a new instance :0)

But I must admit some of the kill this, collect that quests is getting a bit booring now... and I still got a LONG way to go.

I'm also spending time on my crafting skills along the way. Dropped mining though, its really a boring skill to lvl.
