Nerdiness Episode IX

So I found that I literally have no life when I do it right. All weekend all I did was work on leveling in the new expansion of World of Warcraft, Mists of Pandaria. I already have three characters at the new level cap, 90. Also I did some work on Guild Wars 2 and got a Thief to 15 already. First off in WoW, I got the expansion and immediately started leveling, I was at it for about 13 hours the first day, and then nearly all of the second day. It helped that I had the new heirlooms, thank you extra 14% experience, and help by a few of my friends who had already hit 90. I also re-discovered my talents as both a healer and a Dps. I am sad to announce that out of anyone on my realm, I have the second most 90's as of the 1st of October, and what's worse is I only had the expansion for 4 days unlike the other guy who has 4 capped toon(Characters). So not that you are wondering but my three current 90's are my Rogue, Paladin, and my Death Knight(Not as impressive since he started at 55 but still it counts).



Let me talk a little bit about Guild Wars 2 here, I got it the same day as Mists, and got online and began leveling with Jacob, and we got to about 10 or so the first day, and the second we got to 15. Now I have a slight issue with the game, it feels very linear to actually get leveling done, the path to get to the maximum level the fastest seems to be straight foward, but I often find myself in spots where unless I have the patience to sit and wait for events or anything that gets quick easy experience, then I find myself HAVING to grind on monster kills, which give little to no experience, so it gets very boring and seems like it requires more work then it should just to get to a high enough level for the second zone, which worries me, because going foward, does this mean I have to have hours upon hours just to sit and grind enemies or wait for an event to occur? That doesn't seem quite right, and I know there ARE other zones but honestly walking across half the world to get two levels doesn't seem quite right. Now one other problem is I feel broke quite often, although it could be my low level, but I feel like most things just cost amounts that are unreasonable. All in all though, I enjoy the game when it runs together smoothly, and I recommend it strongly.
