Don't get me wrong, this isn't a grumpy old man rant about how hard I had it back and my day. I think the Scroll of Resurrection is a good idea and that the rewards provided were intelligently chosen. When evaluated entirely on its own, I can't find fault with the SoR.
I'm annoyed because it's hard not to look at these rewards and ask "what about me?"
I started playing this game in December 2006 and I have maintained my subscription without a break for over 5 years. I've paid for the original game along with all three expansions. I've also paid for 14 server transfers, two faction transfers, and a name change. And this doesn't even include the things not tied to my account like the books and WoW branded peripherals I've purchased.
Wait, what's going on? That's right, as Graylo says, if you Recruit-a-Friend, that friend can have
One character immediately bossed to level 80. Wow.
Okay, let's get this out of the way. Contra Graylo, I am a grumpy old man here.
If you've done RaF before, and your friend is, say, at level 20, now you can restart and boost them to 80 without any of the learning in between? As if people didn't know how to play now... That's insane. I mean, they've already made it insanely easy to level, and now they're giving out 80s? If you want to add an 80 to an account than already has an 80+, fine, but this is crazy. Wow. Just wow. Even if it is, apparently, a "limited time offer".
And now that I think about it, even letting those with 80s have another is wacky. Me as a prot warrior at 80? Hahahahahaha. Hilarious. You should at least be forced to take a driver's test first.
I could understand allowing a toon account to, say, start a DK without having leveled another level 55 character, perhaps, but this cheapens the game experience something wacky.
And yes, there should be some nice bonus for keeping your account active.
