"Putting out sort of an ad to ppl out there. Looking for like minded gamers out there to play wow together. I started wow 2 years ago, as a total noob. Along the way I met a nice raid leader who was nurturing enough to guide me learning the ropes of wow, thought at a very demanding pace. I was up for the challenge, and in fact, I was actually hooked to the game, so spending effort on it was not a problem. 2 years passed, I am still playing the game and enjoying it.

So in the coming few weeks before expansion hit, I am willing to contribute back to the wow community, I am willing to guide and assist new or returning players in wow, but of course you in return must show your effort as well. High commitment to the game is necessary, of course, passion towards the game will help. 2 years ago I leveled a rogue to 90, being new to game, wanted to try out playing with other ppl instead of just playing single player mode. I wanted to join raid, but nobody wanted my rogue. The raid leader I mentioned earlier came to me and told me he wanted a healer, a holy priest specifically. Wanted to belong to a group, I leveled a new priest from lvl 1-90 in 9 days. After that, I spent weeks learning how to use it, and over the course of 9 months, I was finally able to say I was a decent priest healer. During that 9 months I averaged bout 10-12 hours a day in wow (yes, I was just staying at home for 9 whole months). Of course I do not expect many out there to have the same level of dedication as me (thought I do know a few does). But effort is a must especially for newcomers.

Currently in transition stage, many things can be done much faster. You can level up a toon 1-60 with raf buff in 4 hours. So instead of taking 9 days, one could hit lvl 90 much faster now. Once you hit 90 with item level about 450, you can power grind the toon to get to ilvl 570 in maybe 120 hours game time. So if in hard core mode, average 18 hours of game time a day (done that before, in fact for a continuous 20 days stretch, food in front of computer, minimal toilet break and shower once every 2 days), that can be done in roughly a week, and you can join mythic soo the very next week. Since there's two more weeks, you can probably cut the game time to half of that, say 9 hours per day on wow.

In fact, for the coming expansion, I will be taking caffeine pills so that I can average out 20 hours log on time per day (if server does not bar me from login due to full population). So, anyone who feels they have about the same level of passion for the game, do contact me and I will extend my hand to my best ability."
