compared to the 20x we use to get on ragnaros 7x is indeed low.

you realize that x1 was made so bliz can MAKE MORE MONEY with the game x1 is the normal way for companies to make profit
as this server and all other private servers have proven. you do not need to level so excruciatingly slow to enjoy the game.
and for people that like to go slow, I have already pointed out several ways they can enjoy the game their way, without forcing everyone to go at their slow pace

I agree that 1x was set so blizz makes more profit, but it has been set so players really learn the class,
I lvled my shaman from 1 to 90 in 10hrs playtime, had 5 heirlooms + 10% guild perk = 60% xp more, I dont think it would hurt anyone if the rates were 1x.
So what can I learn in 10 hrs playing a shaman..., nothing really, I just spamed flame shock+lavaburst and mobs were droping down all the way.
I would really like lower rates, if not 1x at least 3x.

Expecting to learn a class by leveling it is pretty inefficient. 10 minutes of guides are more helpful than 10 hours of leveling. Besides, nothing is still stopping you from taking the extra time to think what else can your character do. If you want to do something, you just got to do it, instead of waiting for someone to force it on you (i.e. exploring all the zones because you want to, instead of being forced to go through all of them because of the low xp rate).

Stop it with this misconception of "low rates = skill", retail has 1x rates, but still you manage to get your char to level cap in the same time you do here on Warmane (back to WOTLK times, It took me no more than 4-5 days of played to reach lvl 80, with a total of no more than 15 hours played, meaning like 4 hours per day). Also, it's not like lvl 90 Shaman gameplay is much more than flame shock + lavaburst spam, so you actually managed to "gain" a skillfloor, where you actually know you char's spell, what do they do, how to combo them, procs, buffs and stuff.
Old days of 1 month just to reach lvl 60 are gone (**** u vanilla, worst **** ever made), trust me, you don't want to spend 1 month of your life just to reach level cap and still keeping on doing the same thing (flame shock, lava). Stop with it, Warmane isn't populated and fixxed enough to sustain a x1 FOR EVERY REALM experience, because in a 1x realm PEOPLE MUST ****ING JOIN low level RDF (thus meaning that low level dungeons/raid are released, wich isn't the case for MoP and Cata xpacs), also the "newer" zones (cata zones for cata servers and mop zones for mop ones) are broken, you cannot force players to play in such a broken state, just give them more xperience so they can reach level cap (where the game actually ****ing starts, remember we're playing a Blizzard game, level cap = actual game experience).
Sorry for my saltyness, this just freaks me out. Sorry for bad english.

Phew, I remember when i was leveling in ragnaros years ago. 1-2 to 3 probably. i was able to 1-80 in 8hours. even lower sometimes. now i dont even level anymore, there aint nothing fun in the leveling. at least if there was crossrealm people wound do dungeons to get xp faster, and some items. but Soon*

Blizzard realized too importance of faster lvling. If you have played MOP on retail u would know that on beginning of every single RDF there is NPC with the quests for that dungeon so u can easily gain more XP, bonus to that when they introduce WOD RDF changed again now u didnt even have to take those quest since every single RDF was giving a lot of XP... There are ppl here that just want to relax enjoy their game without being force to do lvling all the time since they either did it or just dont have time to do it all over again and they want to play end game content. Also they are preparing Lorderon x1 server without any perks u will still get what u want and if that server is over populated in comparison to Ragnaros and Dethwing then we can talk about making all servers x1.

If they make x1 without donations, perks and other ****s it will be populated, meaning no gold for coins and no ****ed up economy. If legendary items can be obtained ingame only then I can only congratulate them for making awesome server.

20x is just too much really. I remember back when ragnaros was first released pre-wipe it only took me 7 hours to be the first 80 rogue. That is without power leveling, just using ****ty greens going through quests.
If you are really having trouble leveling I know if a super leveling method that allowed me to get to 80 in 4 hours in a 10x server. You need a level 80 on a separate account though.

Hey, there is nothing stopping you from doing all the quests if you want. 7x is too slow and a waste of time. Bottom line is, most new players to private servers will go places where there are 10x, 15x or 20x options. Thats the real bottom line. Lots of servers are dying right now and those veteran players are looking for a server that they can quickly get to where they were before so they can resume playing. Those players already know how to play wow, they already know how to play thier favorate classes, they already have done every quest 800 billion times, and most of them have come to the realization that they have already put in 2 million hours playing wow and are not willing to spend any more now than they have to. They just want to get to the fun end-game stuff. Even blizzard recognized this and the low level stuff is fast to level up.
Of the masses of Wow players looking for servers, how many do you think are fresh new players that have never played Wow before and really need to play from ground up and take the time? How about none. Young kids will choose a more modern game, everyone else has logged thousands of wow hours already.
To the people who want the server to be 1x, we will make an option for you to have all your chars wiped, and you can choose to do every quest again on your way back up to top level. Leave the rest of the players alone. Its not healthy for the server to have low rates, and its time you think of the future of the server and not your own selfish goals. Ok guys, the line starts here, sign up for wiping your characters, or shut your yap.

The rates are fine as they are.
The majority of the players I met (an observation, not a fact) in Ragnaros were complete noobs and didn't know much about the game or their characters. They'd levelled their characters so fast that none of their spells meant anything to them. This may be in the minority, but most newbies tend to pick the high rate realms due to laziness, and wanting to get to end game content which is fine, but there's so much more to the game that should be discovered. The 20x rates were too high, people could level their characters so quickly, and thus only giving attention to about 40% of the gameplay. People need to be forced to work harder, and explore more.
But I've played on both Ragnaros and Lordaeron. There's no denying the players on Lordaeron were generally more skilled. But, it's more to do with the gameplay. You're missing so much when you level so fast.Edited: June 5, 2015

You didnt read my post carefully.
I didnt ask for every servers to get a x1 xp rate (i honestly thought 'are they serious?!' where i read about it)
My first question was if it would be FEASIBLE to be able to personally set your own xp rate, to level up at the pace you see fit.
Wanna get to max lvl pronto? set it at x 20. Wanna take your time? x1. Balanced approach? x5. Everyone happy!
Second of all, you said you were new to private servers right? Well before Warmane there was Molten. And in Molten, there was actually a relatively populated x1 server. I read its now relegated to being a test server, and since its not advertised like the other servers, the population is very well likely to be abysmal. I also asked if it was possible to shut off xp gains in 3.3.5 and know where the alliance npc would be. But no one has replied to this so i guess there is no way :(.
Lastly, you really do genuinely seem to 'not get' why ppl ask for this. Hard to explain since its 100% subjective. But to me, there is just no satisfaction, no catharsis in exploring areas you greatly outlevel, no danger, no adventure, no point. Example: Yesterday i was questin around Theramore and came across an iron deposit. YUMMY. Thing is though, there was 3 spiders 2 lvl above me around. Had to think, how do i get to it? Opted to charge, fear em (good chance to resist), mine it and GTFO. It worked! I (my character) escaped mortal danger and got my sweet booty. Satisfaction, catharsis, serotonin.
If i got there with a lvl 58 (explore azeroth before goin in TBC) well... no need for iron since my engineering and mining would likely be at 300, no decision making since ill stomp them spiders, no risk, no danger, no fun, no victory, no profit, no point :(. There is a reason why blizz made the leveling faster and easier, but there is also a reason why they gave ppl the option to turn off xp gains in Cata.
These high xp rates, they remind me of new game plus in Chrono Trigger. They are GREAT when you want to see all the endings, all what the end game has to offer. But they generallly leave the whole grand adventure lacking as you one shot everything in your path (even bosses) and every goodies you find? obsolete just like all the gadgets im making with engineering. It cheapens everything.
That being said im also a fan of high xp rates. Would i level another dam rogue from 1 to 80 at x1 for the hundred time? No way!!! I would opt for friggin x20 xp if i could and get to end game asap. I would just like to have the option for slower leveling like we used to, cuz i surprised myself by wanting the leveling on my warrior to last (would have rerolled on Lordaeron if could). I dont want every server to have x1, and i get ppl wanting to get to end game asap (i like to have this option too), but i find myself wanting the grand adventure once again on this character. If i want to endgame, i have plenty of chars to choose from.Edited: June 6, 2015
