So Tigole, aka Jeff Kaplan, confirmed on the official Blizzard forums that leveling from 60-70 is going to be faster once WotLK hits, similar to the way that 20-60 is now faster than it used to be. This is a great example of how Blizzard is really listening to its community. The acceleration from 20-60 came long after BC was released, but it was embraced by most of the community.Blizzard improved the questing process by leaps and bounds in the Burning Crusade, but players still had to get through the long grind to 58 to see most of the new content. This time, Blizzard is allowing players to have an easier time through older content to get to the shiny new stuff. I can't wait to see what kind of new quests they're going to have in Wrath of the Lich King, and this is just one more improvement to help keep my attention. This may also make more people consider rolling Death Knights right away. Genius!

Sweet!
awesome, now leveling will be even easier
sounds great :D
Sweet, this will mean that lvling alts will be super easy with the 30 mount and this :D
Yeah its cool, but this means 70-80 Will be like 60-70 in BC
They upped the experience gained from level 20-60 but they made one big mistake: they did not increase the money gained. This means you'll get to 60 fast, you're in Outland... on your slowpoke mount. For new players getting enough gold for an epic mount is already a daunting grind, but now that you level even faster and get less money (less quests to do and less mobs to kill, basically) this grind is even bigger.
(Addition: I mean of course in the burning crusade era, since before that the mounts costed even more and I'm sure it was an even bigger grind back then).
This will help soooo much. I'd hate to grind my DK at the epic slow pace of BC. Will actually make me want to grind him through outland just to reach northrend. GJ you guys on finding useful news like this, makes this site even more coolerer!!
with the increase of xp..getting to level 70 will be better in order to qual and get daily money ...I am certain that also...with the rep increase also going to what tabard you are wearing as well...that was also one of the new things with WoTLK....
