Well I have two very good friends that started playing before I met them, they are unfortunately Alliance on a different server, meaning that even though we WANT to roll together, they'd have to change servers AND factions to play with all of our other friends.
Recently, though, the game has become based around end-game raiding and experiencing things like the Argent Tournament and other world events. Blizzard seems to be focusing *mostly* on new content. I don't see an issue on letting people skip the low-level grind if they've already done it before.
Hell, they're already doing this with Bind on Account gear. After the 3.2 patch, there will be shoulders AND a chest piece that will increase XP gained by a total of 20%... this makes the grind a LOT faster... I expect to see more gear like this in the future that will allow an experienced WoW player to level alts faster.
I guess it depends on what your bandwidth cap is and how much it costs if you go over it.
(Not to mention if the RIAA notices you are downloading a "conspicuous amount of data" and tells your ISP to shut you down while sending the FBI to bust in through the windows.)
While I don't disagree, I feel that some people play games for the story. Blizzard games especially tend to be steeped in lore and having rendered, beautiful cinematic scenes help unfold that story.

Someone should copy/paste this comment into every article as a primer.
If you invent anti-stupid technology, I'm sure you'd be a near instant millionaire.
It might get messy if you start to consider your brain as a long-term audio storage device.
...Burma-Shave?
I've been leveling a character recently, and I just hit 60 with 2 days and 19-something hours.
Granted, I was trying a paladin, so it was pretty much easy-mode. But it's entirely possible to blitz through old content to get to the newer stuff.

Dark side of the moon? Racist!
The gas pedal will be replaced with the eel pokin' petal... genius!
Everyone down here is watching Ow! My Balls!
This reference brought a smile to my face, love it.
Yeah, but that comes with 90's music. You really think it's a good trade? :-/
Yeah, but that remains hidden until I open my mouth. :)
At least noticing someone using an iPhone offers you the benefit of knowing what type of person s/he is in advance. :)
It's like Monster Cables for speakers.

I actually made some shelves with a friend that resemble tetris blocks. Like these only not ridiculously expensive.
Yeah, but I doubt that there's a WoW player that's a illiterate mass-murdering celebrity billionaire terrorist!

No, I just have a poor sense of humor... oh wait, that does make me an American doesn't it :(
At least the track is a circle, right? Then you just need to find the radius... maybe a bit of extra slack to make sure.
It looks sad :(
Mostly because guys are generally referred to as "him" or "his"
My club is a tree branch you insensitive clod!
Why don't I ever have mod points when I need them. Got a good laugh out of that :)
