Maybe not a game "killer." It is a game "cheapener" though. IIRC, we didn't have the eased levelling curve for 20-60 until TBC had been established for awhile.

I do think that the danger is that if the game gets "dumbed down" enough, long timers will get frustrated that these people with no play skill are where we are.

Original WoW is a pretty solid game if you actually take the time to play it through and not burn through it. There is a lot to do that is interesting from 1-58 in Azeroth, and 58-68 in Outlands, good story lines and so forth.

What Blizzard seems to be doing is turning what made it good into "hurry up and burn through it so we can get to Outland"

That is a mistake. For my first time playing, it was more fun going through the original content with a Draenei Shaman than it was doing Outland on my 60 Warrior. However WOLK doesn't have a new race. It doesn't have a new tradeskill you can only get from the expansion. It's all about 71-80.

Now *That* could be a game killer eventually if not corrected
