The leveling and quests in the World of Warcraft

I like leveling (5 90's and an assortment of 87's) and I like quests which could some WOW gold. however, I also understand some players hate for leveling and questing. It tends to get a bit repetitive. All in all I guess it boils down to what you find most enjoying - a leveling player finds less enjoyment in end game than the road towards it. An end game player or raider probably sees the leveling stuff as a hindrance (especially if there's a raid spot waiting for X class).
 
The introduction of heirlooms and other ways of faster leveling accommodated end game participation (since the brunt of development goes into new raids etc). Blizzards - like all companies - focus on end game as a big selling point. As I understand it this focus is sort of psychological: With That Raid every player have a goal to work on, especially in a world where there's no clearly defined end of the journey which you could very well reach 90 just by exploring, staying alive and pick flowers ... although it would take some time.  
 
I don't get too upset when the Know Nothings of leveling comes screaming about "leveling is boring!". they don't have the same motivation as I do. They don't care (rarely) about stories or immersion, mostly they care about BiS numbers and other boring things - which is to say, they're boring to me. Not to them. I respect their choices although I feel a bit sad; just imagine how much stuff you miss ... I've leveled 1-90 in 4 days on a character; fully loomed, mostly through DF. It was very effective but, well, once I was done (my only aim was to find out how fast I could level, I didn't have a raid slot waiting or anything) I returned to "old content".
 

I personally enjoyed it more to reach 90 through questing only (I was really fed up with dungeons at the time and since I leveled a mage it was quite the challenge). The good thing about WoW is ofc - there's dozens of ways to play the game and get the WOW gold. No way to play it is "Right". It's very laid back in that way; you can blast levels and start raiding in less than a week - or you can savour the stories, the lore, the world ... or pick flowers. Or kill stuff in BGs. Or something. One of my guildies are totally devoted to Pet Battles and feels absolutely comfortable with her level 85. Others chased server first titles like maniacs.
