I'm looking at starting to play here and instant lvling an 80 char. My question is as the server has been opened years would it be an issue doing heroics etc to get gear and other raids so i am able to do ICC.
I don't want to spend the money on coins to get gear, i want to instant the char and gain the gear myself.
Nope! You should be able to grind it out without any issues. I've instant 80'd my characters many times simply because i'm lazy and haven''t had any issues.
Once you get your instant 80 just do some Northrend quests while naked to get some green gear, just enough to do some normal dungeons and then work up to heroics from there. I'm intent on never spending a dime here unless it's for a mount/tabard.
