While Blizzard has publically stated that if you would hit 80th lvl by a certain period of time, you were classified as "Hardcore" in their eyes. But this was only a couple weeks after the expansion had been released. My Shaman when he hit 80th level was still finishing up his ZulDrak quests & had all of Storm Peaks & Ice Crown left to do & did very little instance running along the way. How can you not hit 80th lvl in fairly short order about power leveling?

So, when I looked at everything and then started to do the math, I was perplexed. I was dumbfounded & confused. How can a company that has grossed more than 2 billion US dollars and profitted over 1 billion US dollars spend another 2 years on an expansion pack with so much on the line to get power leveling, yet deliver even less content than ever before? We have fewer dungeons to romp through this time. Future content patches are already very limited in that we should be expecting:

Now, you can say "Well, that is more content released than we got with TBC. Why are you b*tching?" Well, considering that both Ulduar and Ice Crown Citidal (the zones at least) were all but confirmed as done to get power leveling, but were intentially held back because they "Did not want to make the same mistakes as with TBC and have long periods inbetween new raid content". So that means that outside of the standard "polish pass that they have done with everything else, there is very little left that is not done about power leveling. The 2 other Aspect Wings can be done up by even the most basic of level design/builders as is Obsidian Sanctum is any example of design (as it seems like a weekend to build the instance & get it textured), so the new new wings are quick builds, if they are not already done.
