WoW’s First 70

Category: Asides, WoW

French WoW 70Not okay. Not even a little bit okay. A French guild basically power-leveled a mage to 70 just so they could. Sick, sick, sick.

In an interview with World of Raids.com, Gullerbone, who reached level 70 with a mage class character called Gawell, told how he had help from 40 in-game friends working with him around the clock. He said: “Cau (the 1st European lvl 60) and I planned the exp(erience) route step by step, trying everything to make sure it was the most appropriate, the groups organization with the guild Millenium and their members. Each member rotated using a definite order to help me to grind on mobs, mostly with AE, surrounded with several guildmate healers, tanks, pullers etc…”

    What’s not okay about it? The game set up a challenge, they took up the challenge, planned it out, worked as a group, and achieved it. I get the sense they were having fun doing it. Sounds like a win all around.

    That’s not … gaming, though. :)

    That’s obsession, coupled with delusions of grandeur. “I made it to 70 first!” Whoopty-freaking do! Now you have a character overpowered from everyone else in the game for the next month or so while everyone else catches up.

    I know ’somebody had to do it’, but crap like that makes me question the inherent healthiness of these games.

    The most ironic thing is that I don’t even think my realm has been up for 28 hours consistently since the launch..

    That’s cool! What’s not to love about trying to hit lvl 70 first with some planned out playing and the help of friends and guildies?
