The funny part is most people flake while leveling, and the game doesn't really begin until 60.
Leveling is very tedious and repetitive, but the horrible grind to 60 is what makes hitting it so awesome.
If you want easy and quick paced, buy WoW:MoP, you can go level 1-90 in 5 days I heard.
Yup. When I first picked up WoW way back when, Steve and Pyro told me the same thing: "game begins at level 80" (max level then). I was like "WTF is that supposed to mean? I'll have hit max level. I can't get any higher." --....oh but yes you can, thru sexy sexy gears and fun raids. You can't do any of that until you're max level.
Things to do at max level:
BGs -- there's not many more thing that are more satisfying than the feels you get from destroying another human being's character and imagining that they're crying after you've killed them 6+ times in a row
Raids -- while long and may be a bit tedious at times, but once you get that sexy piece of gear, you can't help but get all giddy. yes, I said "giddy" -- get over it, fags.
