I played classic for several years, and I never had a max level character. I started around velious, and was level 59 by the time the cap was 75. Granted, I probably played a lot less back then, and I was definitely a huge noob, but I always remembered leveling being a slow process. Having a main in the 30s or 40s didn't mean that you started playing 3 weeks ago.

I agree that leveling sucks now, but it feels a lot closer to how I remember it. Once people chill out, I'm sure SKs, pallies and bards will be fine getting groups. They all bring a lot to the table that a warrior or whatever cannot. I'd rather play with good players than a bunch of halfing warriors and rogues anyways.

The game may seem like a race to 50, but its really about the journey. I don't raid, so I barely play my 50 cleric anymore. Even the people who raid spend a lot of their time sitting around waiting for respawns. Its a lot more fun to kill crocs in oasis than it is to sit in EC showing off how leet your level 50 is.
