premise: One argument that I ' ve heard relating to this is that such a change would literally kill the old world content , and be detrimental to new people to the game as they try to level up . Honestly , though , is n't that already the case ? When someone who has one or more 70s levels an alt , do they spend their time helping out new players , and teaching them how to survive in Azeroth ? Or do they blow through the lower levels as quickly as they possibly can , either alone , multi - boxed , or with guildmates ? Why might someone spend their time helping out new players ?
hypothesis: Because that 's a nice thing to do .
