So recently I really took notice that blizzard has slapped up some enticing rewards for recruiting a friend. As with most offers of it's kind it is worded in a very general manner, almost slippery in a sense- like there's fine print without there being any. Probably the most popular reward is bonus exp.  You get triple experience points -- when you are in the party with your recruited friend. This means your getting about the same xp as before, just a little bit faster. However there IS one part of it that doesn't have any catches, due to triple xp and the fact that when in a party you do not have to share quest experience you are provided straight up triple quest experience. Well as you can imagine, or can confirm from previous experience, this leads to some fast leveling. Just make sure that your friend can play according to your schedule or vice-versa. Don't be fooled by the shiny levels though, this service has other pitfalls.

Don't you just hate when you see a new level 70(cough* night elf hunters) or one that just has no idea how the hell to handle/play his or her class? It's quite obvious really, just look for the most powerful, non-efficient moves in the game (sorry to all the lowbies/ noobies reading this). Well for those who agree with that last sentiment, I have news for you my friends, It's about to become a lot worse. Fast leveling equates to learning to skills at a higher frequency, giving the player almost no time to learn and get used to their new skills. We end up back in gold shire looking at that stupid noob of a night-elf hunter, except he has even less of an idea of what to do than before!

So far this offer is mucking up our player base and community, let's see what else it can do. Ooooh, if they stay for a month or two, I get a free epic land mount. Well let's see that takes about 600 gold out of the economy's pocket. If the players don't have to work, why would they contribute and make money? This mount isn't even that cool.

And finally With player- summoning the player will not have to travel and see the world he's playing in, with this they won't stumble upon realizations about the game and how to get here or there or anywhere, they'll simply wait until their buddy logs on. These players are already going to be half-baked; blizzard at least give them some chance and let them grow a work-ethic!

P.S.  Maybe this will add a more fun pvp experience for the Warcraft veteran?Easy kills anybody? Meh maybe not, their recruit'll just jump you.
