Among the general public people were ‘iify’ enough about TBC giving only 10 new levels to a player while at the same time costing 3 times as much as the vanilla WoW cost, at leas that’s what it was over here in Irlandais.

Looks to me like the 10 levels in WOTLK is a lot to do with justifying the cost. by that time if a new player wanted to buy WoW and level to the end, it would cost the price of 3 games, depending on the seller etc.

Anyway, A solution to the old content getting a kick in the teeth is easily found. eg the 5man instances, when a 5man party enters one of those old level 60 instances the server looks at their levels, sees that they are over level 60, and then just loads a harder version of the instance, even just adding 10 to the mobs levels would be plenty to keep it challenging.

Of course there is one more thing I would consider here, in old wow, back before i didn’t know it existed,there were plenty of max levels running around doing max level things like chilling in org or chastising some noob who just asked some outrageously stupid question, looks to me that the higher end population nowadays is a smaller percentage than what it used to be, and given the amount of new instances and things to spend your life raising, earning, finding or selling they don’t think that the now level 70′s, should be bothered with the level 60 content.

Blizzard is never going to pay much attention to old content when they release something new, They are moving on and expect all the players to follow suit.
