Life at Level 70
I got to level 70 like a month ago (don’t remember the exact date except it was a Monday). I was the second person in my static party to reach 70. It was nice.
I decided to do some research and finally discover what there is to do at the current level cap. As it turns out, there are a couple of things:
1. Faction/Instances
There are various factions in Outlands all waiting to give you goodies. Unfortunately the good stuff won’t be available until you’re revered with them. That can take a lot of instance grinding and questing. At least when 2.3.0 comes out, you can get all the heroic keys if you’re only honored with a faction. http://www.wowwiki.com/Reputation.
2. Raids
For those with small groups, the Karazhan ten man instance is quite nice. It resets every week so you can take your time with your guild mates and friends. Do some of it now and complete the rest later. http://www.wowwiki.com/Karazhan.
3. Battlegrounds
PVP. If you want some quick blood Battlegrounds is the way to go. All centered around completing certain objectives. http://www.wowwiki.com/Battlegrounds.
4. Arena
PVP with a team. This is a nice competition where you test yourself with other teams from both Alliance and Horde sides. Fights are fast and deaths are faster. Somehow I died within a matter of seconds. Of course if I were left alive I’m sure I would do a lot of damage with my DoTs. http://www.wowwiki.com/Arena_PvP_System.
5. Daily Quests
This kinda goes under the Faction stuff, but you get paid well. Ten daily quests for a good amount of gold. Doesn’t take long to do, however you do need to do some questing to obtain access. http://www.wowwiki.com/Daily_quests
Of course, all of these things is just a journey to better gear. I suppose you can also improve your play style a bit when fighting other people or even doing Instances, but that’s about it. You hit 70 and you do a bunch of crap for gear. Perhaps there’s other worth while things to do. As far as I can see though, you’ve reach the limit of your natural abilities. What else can you prove? Your clothing of course.
