World of Warcraft Leveling Changes

There's a thread on the official WoW forums that talks about the upcoming changes to leveling in World of Warcraft. Here are the relevent quotes from Drysc:

"The leveling curve and quest experience decrease/increase (respectively) will not be in the 2.2 patch, which is technically the next patch. If you're asking will it be in the patch after that, we haven't announced exactly when the feature will be included just yet."

"The increase stops at 60 for both reduction in XP required for each level, and quest XP increases, so if your alt is 60 then you should just level them now. "

"I don't believe a percentage increase has been stated. Reputation has not been reduced relative to level difference since (I think) patch 2.0, and that applies to all reputation gains anywhere, not just starting areas. I don't think hunter pets will be an issue either."

"There's no change to loot or quest rewards. I know some classes have higher training costs than others at some level gains, and if it looks like it's an issue we can make adjustments to those prices."

This is great news as far as I'm concerned. I consider myself to be a casual player so with these changes I'll be able to accomplish more in less time, which is fantastic.

Even with the upcoming faster leveling, I still think the Ultimate World of Warcraft guide is a good deal. There may be less EXP required per level, but the guide still helps me maximize my experience gain. With its 1-70 leveling guides for Horde and Alliance and the gold making guide, this is the best WoW guide I've found. Plus it is always being updated, so it will never be out of date and has a money back guarantee. When you factor all that in, it is easily the best deal you'll find for World of Warcraft.
