Don't worry. A lot of newcomers who reach level 50 instantly will be enamored by their sudden growth spurt for a short time, then quit because they skipped all the content that should have kept them busy. Such was the case with WoW and its "insta-level one char to 80 for Cataclysm" content, and such will be the case here. This event is likely going to be more of a hit with the veterans who always wanted to get around to that one character they'd been too lazy to create.

Well, it said "any new character you create" so i'd guess maybe it's not limited, but thats just a guess.

Might just be me but this is a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE event. More shitty players at a higher level means more shitty raids with more shitty elitists, which means a more shitty community. Holy ----.

You still have your skill, so what's the problem?
I couldn't do Irukul at level 1.

Meh, I'm betting by the time they get to 60 they'll be more or less on roughly the same level as someone who gets to 60 normally.

Anyways, I'm indifferent to this event. I'm just going to say why in response to some complaints.
@Marene
Honestly, I don't think it'll be a bunch of "shitty players at a higher level" for a few reasons. A lot of the 60+s you see just ran Hidden all day, I don't see much of a difference between spin2win/MA2win/WarSlam2win/shortbow2win for 20 levels and just doing that for 10 levels. I also don't see there suddenly being an influx of "new" players just cause of this event. Honestly, it'll be an influx of alts of people who have already gotten to the 5X range or above (as truefire said).
In other words, you simply have people playing another class. And at a base level, you can play any character as long as you understand the boss patterns.
@Yamuri
In addition to what truefire said and what RebeccaBlack said, gear matters a lot more than level as well. It's completely possible (and I've done it myself) to get 14k Att on a Lv. 60. It's actually fairly easy to out DPS a lot of people who are higher level than you simply as your gear matters just as much as how skilled you are, and all of that matters a lot more than the level counter.

Maybe with funding. It's possible to get 17K+ on a 60 with funding, but I can't see a level 60 having 14K attack unless maybe they save up, buy and resell a little, and ignore their other stats, and even then they'd be pushing it. They'd have to farm hero mode pre-60 or something.
People don't even have any decent amount of money until hero/high 60 scrolls/raids and most of the things they can farm would make 1m/hour if they're lucky.

Well I meant on an alt and such. I'm sure you'd get at least one decent drop over the course of a year. If not just get the stuff outright from Seals of Bravery (it's technically only 9 days to get a Glas Pants if you run nearly all your runs each day).
Regardless 13k should be doable before 65 even if it's not an alt.

It depends on what you do, but sure, I guess it'd be possible. I mean now that we have the things we do (seals, for example), I'd say that yeah, that's a lot more reasonable than it used to be, so long as someone spends their time raiding or doing other profitable things rather than continuing to level grind.
