Current mood:

meh

sucks :(

so yesterday was my first run through deadmines, and thanks to 2 high lvs in the group, this is how me and a buddy spent most of it. not my idea of fun when i play a warrior...

what sucks even more, is that thanks to their high lv, i got more experience out of completing the quest, than i actually did running through the dungeon. isn't that amazingly sad?

Yes, and no... It is kinda sad, but trust me, after a while when you get to higher lvl stuff and you just can't find groups (or you've done it before and find you HATE fill-in-the-blank dungeon) you will be like thank goodness! when a lvl 50+ person runs you through it. I know on a few I was very happy, thinking to myself, "now I can get those darn quests outta my log and never set foot in that aweful place again."

Tho, with the Deadmines tho, it is a bit sad because I DO like that one and it isn't very hard for a normal lvled group to do, and is pretty fun. Look on the bright side, now that you've done the quests, you can run it for fun... and profit!

That's a main reason I didn't want to be power leveled when I started the game. I had friends who were willing to run me though instances and I did so for my first instance (Rage Fire Chasem) but after just standing there I was not one for staying to the side. I wanted part of the action too. Now unless I want to be run though for an item or just to kill time for fun I try not to go into instance with guys who can take care of the job without me.

I also got sick of "Just stay stelthed in the corner till I say come out"

	yeah RFC was the only place I've gotten run through by a high level too, just because I couldn't ever find a damn group for it and wanted to get those quests gone. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Frankly, I don't think they are doing you any favors. I'm assuming this if your first character to run an instance, and if so they are depriving you of valuable gaming experience by taking any challenge out of the dungeon for you. Go back with a like-level group. You'll have much more fun, and learn a lot more too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	100% agree with this. Second time, twink all you want. But first time through, play it... play it slow... read the quests... group with people who are one or two levels around you.... take your friggin' TIME... because you'll only get THIS game once.... You can get another race to 60, but you can never, ever, EVER get this first time through experience again. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Agree tenfold. The lower level dungeons are where you get the feel of your class, what you and a group are capable of dealing with, and how to react when something goes wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yes. You very much need to learn how to play your character in a group. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	On the other hand, it took me three tries to get all the way through the Deadmines. It's nice to have the quests done. Now that you do have them done, you can get a group together and be picky about who you let in! (Reply to this)

	I hate escorting lowbies.. and when I'm on a lowbie character.. i hate being escorted what's the fun in no challenge? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I agree. I prefer doing instances with people of the same level. I tanked uldaman with my level 45 warrior and had a BLAST because the group was 44-48, no higher. And we did well. I have been rushed through instances before, but I do always try to find a group around my level so i can elarn my class. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I absolutely hate that. people are constantly asking me to run them through or ask if i want to be run through. NO i want to play the game. its boring to be level 60, but it is fun to get there....ugh (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_cloud_9 2006-09-19 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	people tell me the game actually starts when you hit 60. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	About the experience bit: Its sad, but without it WoW would be another Diablo II.. with high levels rushing people through everything (they do now but not quite to the extent that it happened in D2) (Reply to this)

	evilfoo 2006-09-19 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	In a way, you "cheated" the system by having someone do the work for you. If you go through a level appropriate dungeon, grouped with fellow adventurers of an appropriate level, you'll get the full experience, pun intended. Unless your post was a clever trap to see how people would reply. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I really, really wanted to do Deadmines with a group, but no one wanted to actually go through the effort with me. I finally gave up and had guildies run me through, because I got really frustrated with the LFG process. (Reply to this)

	Your emotions are the reason why I don't run lower level MAINS through things. It totally spoils the game for them, in most cases. However, by the time you are leveling your gazillionth character, the story and your feelings about it changes. So I do run alts through instances, and also ask for that favor while leveling my alts.

	The first few times, I went with a group. Now? I just have a 60 friend run me through. I get all the loot, I get the quests don't quickly, I usually get almost a level out of it in XP, and I don't have to go back. VC is kind of a formatily on the way to getting to more interesting questing places now...but that's just me. I like being run through VC by s 60. :) (Reply to this)
