Do you miss your first months in WoW?

Just before Cataclysm hit I recreated one of the first screenshots I ever took in WoW. Back when the world was unknown and fresh.


I took ages leveling and stopped regularly just to check out side quests that where below my level. Like The Mithril Order quests, so much mithril and thorium. I miss that time.


What really has changed for me with WoW I think is time. Back when I was leveling my first character I had no end goal or other reason to hurry up. I was, and still am, a non social player. I like doing as much as I can on my own. This helped to shield me from information about endgame content, and for that matter any information on what was around the corner. Everything was so new.


I think a lot of people that perhaps raid or pvp at max level, or even just players that have been playing for a long while, easily get very cynical and upset about either Blizzard or WoW itself. I have recently been feeling unhappy with the game, a lot because of what Cataclysm did to it but more on that in another post.


I belive that players really have to just stop and take a breath now and then. Perhaps start a non guild alt without heirlooms that one only levels through quests or whatever is prefered but always focusing on the moment instead of fighting to get to some end goal.


If people did that I would bet that the WoW community, being utterly childish and aweful atm, would be a nicer thing to partake in and be a part of.
