I wonder where they'll put this "Mortal strike-like" shot. I hope Marksmanship (which also makes sense since it ain't a survival tool nor pet tool).

I wonder how hard they'll make it to level from 60 to 80 since they are gonna reduce the 20-60 portion

I think the overall speed of level 58 to level 70 is pretty fast paced (assuming you enter Outland from L58). I have no problems levelling a toon past L58. L20-58 is indeed a little slower.

Definitely. My least favorite part of the game at this point is leveling up to Outland levels. Once I get to Outland, it's not so bad. I'm sure when the level cap is 90-100 I'll have different opinions of Outland though. :)

Levelling to 60 made all of my RL friends quit. :(

I would have to say that i would all depend on the kind of character you are leveling and if its your very first toon As a noob warrior it took me 6 months to get to 60 (pre expansion) and my mage took 3 weeks to get to 50. thats i big jump for me. i would have to say that lvl 50 to 58 sucks because i really HATE "ST" and WPL and EPL get kinda crappy without some friends help. with my warrior 60-70 took about 3 weeks. i think its all on the way you play and what toon you play.

I'm fine with the leveling for the most part, except for level 50-58. Those eight levels may seem easy enough, but they are the most difficult levels to get. Previous to that, most dungeons at your level give GREAT xp, but for some reason, the 50-58 ones don't. In two runs of SM Cath at level 40, got me to 41 on my Druid, so why won't 5 runs of ST get me from 52-53? I just want level 55 for Onyxia and MC and stuff. I want to be a raid healer, if only for the "Classic Nights" my guild has.

The leveling changes are aimed at new players as much as current. Blizz knows to continue to grow it has to make it easier for them to level. Honestly who wants to buy a game knowing (or even worse figuring out after they buy it) that it will take 3-5 months to get where 96% of the rest of the population is. And for existing players it gives them a chance to play different classes and roles.

As for the Hunter changes. A new MS type shot would most likely go into the Survival tree, as it has almost always been the PvP tree for Hunters. Not sure it is really a fix though. Hunters have other problems in the Arenas. Like the Woodworking idea though.  (And yes, I played a Hunter for over 2 years as my main  :P  )

I like that they are reducing the time it takes to level, but I'm not sure I like how. I think the game for first time players should remain mostly the same, perhaps a 10% reduction or so. However, if a character has a max level character (on a server of the same form - It wouldn't do to make leveling on PvP easier because they have a PvE main), then the time for an alt should be reduce significantly, like 30-40%, even in OL to an extent.

I hate MS with an absolute passion and would love for hunters to get something else >.

I disagree Schwick. It sounds like a burst damage ability which when combined with its debuff nature drive it more towards Survival. In any event, Survival remains one of the weaker and unpopular talent trees. Especially in lieu of CC limitations in pvp and poor trap scaling.

I say Survival.
