For instance, creating an orc and then a troll will lead you down different paths from level 1 to roughly 7 but then once you hit higher levels you'll start crossing paths to where, no matter what race you have, you'll always be doing the same Crossroads quests and such. What I've tried to do is stick with races that are more separate by space, Tauren vs. Troll vs. Undead vs. Blood Elf, so that you get a slight variation to the quest. Then, you want something completely new you try some Alliance races/classes. Everyone ends up on the same quest track by level 25 so once you've created five horde characters you realize that you're doing the same thing five times in a row, that gets tedious and, with that, you tend to use more addons like QuestHelper to give you a bit more clue on what direction to go "just to get this one done with." I just like experimenting with new classes and exploring the possibilities, but the quest situation... in the end, I'll be doing the same thing I did with my Troll and Tauren.

The game is what I want it to be. I don't understand those in a hurry to level up. I don't want to race from quest to quest like my cloak is on fire. If I decide to spend the day fishing, I don't consider it a waste. The goal for me is to have fun. I already have a job. And in that context, WOW has more to offer than people give it credit for.
