Quote:You can't call them leveling blocks when the real problem is just lack of quests. You might as well be blaming SM for having problems leveling 30-40. It wasn't soloable and took gathering four other people of certain role-fillers to succeed. The fact of the matter is that there was a serious quest shortage in the old world. Blizzard took elite content and made it normal to cheese some "new" solo content. Myself and a friend are leveling new characters and would love to efficiently play together but with everything being nonelite now, it simply is a waste of time to group and do quests.
Any dearth of old world quests was completely solved (and then some) by the increase in quest experience gained.
I only hit about half the zones while going 1-60 recently, and didn't even do much instancing for experience at all.
In fact, I even skipped any quests that looked like too much running around, because leveling is so fast and easy now that you can just do the quick-hit quests in each zone you go to and you still end up skipping a lot of zones.
Converting the elites to non-elites was just overkill.
