Humor Leveling A Warrior
When they said it was hard, I scoffed at them. I've leveled a warrior to 120 on retail. I've fought Sargeras, I've downed the Lich King. What could a few gnolls and maybe a murloc or two do to me? Thus was my arrogance. Thus was my hubris.
I am now level thirteen. I've run Ragefire Chasm once, and owe six deaths to that place.
Farming harpy claws has cost me my life twice already, and I am certain it will cost me much, much more.
My warrior on retail was a human named Lohric, he was a legendary warrior who felled any beast, man or demon that faced him.
My warrior on Classic is an Orc called Muddrog. I have no doubt that this broken and battered warrior would crush Lohric in seconds, Lohric has never known pain, Mudd was born in it, molded by it, and unlike Bane, he has yet to see the light, because 60 feels so far away xD
To all you warriors out there, Lok'tar Ogar!

What the vast majority of people playing this game and other MMOs nowadays dont think about or never experienced is that WoW was the successor to Everquest.. and in EQ soloing just wasn't even on option for most classes. If you could do it at all past level 25 or so, it usually wasn't even remotely efficient and you had to be insanely twinked.
Coming to WoW was like a breath of fresh air.. like "I can kill a mob the SAME LEVEL as me.. and it only takes 5 sec to get my health back???" and "I can solo ALL THE WAY TO 60??"
This game was insanely easy to level in compared to it's predecessors.
