I found that Warrior was easy and fun to level (I was a Tank)ciortas1 said:
Shaman (Elemental, Restoration and Enhancement) was either boring or annoying to level Ele = Lightning Bolt spam until level 75 when it becomes Lava Burst instakills solo or Lava Burst + Lightning Bolt spam, Enhancement was a pain to get weapons for in Azeroth and Restoration was just too easy (My first time playing a healer class was on my friends Resto shaman in a Raid... who was filling in just because there was no-one else. I got best heals according to someone and was wearing Greens and Blues vs everyone elses Purples)
Lock made me rage at my stupid Voidwalker.
Hunter I swapped between being really bored (Beast Master) or being rediculously powerful (Survival)
Frost Mages are good for beginners (If you look up how to spec) it can be Frostbolt spam or Blizzard spam to get easy exp.
Been a fan of Blizzard since Blackthorne and the Lost Vikings. I got World of Warcraft when the Burning Crusade came out. I got two characters to level 70 in about 6-8 months time. I decided that it was taking up to much of my time and money (mostly the latter). Yes I did have 'friends' on there so one could argue that I was addicted to an extent. But I wasn't a dungeon sorta person... just liked the PVE grind, and once I got up higher I just got bored with all the extra rules, details, statistics. It was more fun when it was simpler. Just you and a friend skinning in a forest or finishing off some low level quests.
Best advice would to be to never start. Right now I'm your smoking daddy who warns you against starting such a thing.
It's a fun game but it'd be best if you either didn't play or found some way to not sink your life into it.

Oh gods can people just stop being so melodramatic about WoW? By the Nine it's just a game, it's as addictive as you make it.
First tip:
Really, it's been mentioned before but I can't stress it enough: Read the Fucking Manual!!! It contains a bucketload of information making your time in WoW a lot less frustrating and a lot more enjoyable.
Anyway, WoW is very easy to get into. With every class you slowly gain abilities letting you learn each class as you play with it, thus I can't really say there's a definite beginner's class or something. You can pick pretty much any class you like.
Oh and do take your time while leveling, don't rush it, it makes the game very dull very quickly. I explained why below.
And last but not least; you're not forced to grind, if you don't like it you can avoid it easily. I do so all the time.
Rushing through all of it is a pure waste of massive amounts of good content, this especially counts for the Wrath of the Lich King content (68-80) as it's definitely the most brilliant leveling content Blizzard has made so far.
Hopefully that also means that they're going to shift focus on something more fun, like cool and innovate boss encounters or something, instead of just removing what we have and not giving us something else in return.
Then I went Prot for the TBC content and continued 'roflpwning', even 3-man group q's were easy to solo. Sometimes even 5-man quests.
In my early 70's I got dual-spec and got Fury with Titan's Grip, and by the gods is that hot. I still switch to Prot for group quests though.
And of course, with the Random Dungeon Finder it's very easy to find groups as a Prot warrior making leveling even more easy than it already was.

I disagree. While the 1-60 content isn't super-duper, I'd still recommend taking your sweet-ass time to level your first character. Explore the world, soak up the (absolutely brilliant) atmosphere of the various areas and dungeons, learn about storylines, take your time and enjoy, the endgame content won't run away (for now).Eukaryote said:

Then you're going to like Cataclysm, it's going to simplify the over-complicated stat system and all that.Jewrean said:

I don't know when you leveled your warr, but the last 2-3 months I've been leveling my first warrior and it's a breeze. Arms for a while, pounded my way through anything WoW threw at me.ciortas1 said:

A friend brought the WoW Master Guide into school, and I kept reading it over and over again for several weeks until I finally got home and could start a trial account. From there, I moved to 3 years of non-stop WoW gameage (at least in the school holidays).
Well I basically have quit now. But not by choice, I showed my mum the game. BIG mistake.
I got in because my friend played it and it was interesting. He got into it after he saw the south park episode. Yeah that one.

it was meant to show that i never wanted to get pulled in, but i am being pulled in anyway.Phoenixlight said:
amen to that. with my Ret Pally i can solo a quest 11 levels higher than me without healingVhite said:
Your best bet is to ingnore everything here except the bit with the runaway CapsLock. Experiment, have a laugh, make the Gnome Warrior and the Night Elf that uses Horde Gear, read the quest text, craft something pointless then give it to a lower level stranger, take your time. Warcraft is only a grind when level 80 is a goal that needs to be reached asap, not something that you'll probably hit someday.Eukaryote said:
EDIT - The random dungeon thing is great when you have the quests, but you miss so much if you keep using that and doing nothing else. Just a warning.
My advice is while questing read the quest text. Wiht the quest interface the way it is now you might get into the habbit of jsut accecpting the quest and heading off to the dot on your map, but if you take the time to read the quest text it helps you get more into the story and makes questing a little less grindy at times.
