For WoW, players found a way to reach lvl 70 one month after the release of the Burning Crusade expension. Blizzard did hope it would take one year before doing so. Are your story really new?

both of those comments are off. Someone hit 70 within 4 days of release...and Blizzard said they would have another xpack out a year after the first; there was no way they hoped it would take a year to get 70. I am not even a very hardcore player and i hit 70 in early February of 07, right at a month after release. Blizzard plays right into the idea that endgame is THE game. Hence arenas at 70, no lower-level raids, etc.

No they didn't... They never expected 10 levels to take even the most casual of player 1 full year. They also knew that the hardcore would burn right thru it just for the sake of leveling.

They knew how much experience they awarded for every quest and every mob. They knew it was not impossible to grind in a week.

But you can't tune it for the people who will grind it in a week, screw them.
