Why Use a WoW Leveling Guide?

For most new World of Warcraft players, leveling guides and addons (commonly known as mods) are completely foreign ideas. Addons and leveling guides are often confused with gold-farming and buying, which IS illegal. Using mods (which Blizzard supports and even encourages) and leveling guides is a perfectly legal practice, and can help exponentially in speeding up the leveling process.

The key is to think of leveling guides as just that: guides. These are tools to guide players through the game, not rush through content or powerlevel as fast as possible. Good WoW leveling guides not only walk the player through the fastest route to the level cap, but also provide information about things that aren't easily found within the game. By using a leveling guide, players learn about important quest information that they might not find on their own. An example of this is the many quest chains that are sometimes difficult to find within the game. If you use a WoW leveling guide, you can easily avoid this problem.  

If you're still wondering why to use a WoW leveling guide, consider this: leveling guides maximize efficiency, which in turn saves time. By showing players how to complete all objectives within a given area - as well as group quests - they reduce leveling time to a minimum, which is where the claims to "reach level 80 in 7 days" come from. While it is very difficult to go from level 1 to level 80 in just a week, it has been done, but only through the use of one of these leveling guides. There are some addons that also help guide the player through the leveling process, but actual leveling guides are much more detailed and thorough.

In order to maximize the value of your playtime - which is especially important if you lead a busy life outside the game, as many players do - you may want to use a WoW leveling guide.
