Pros and Cons of WoW Powerleveling
Kotaku posted an article by some reader explaining his experience with using a WoW Powerleveling service. It is an engaging, entertaining read which I think would appeal to both WoW players and those who despise WoW.

What I thought was odd was that with all of the time the author invested in researching leveling services, checking on his character, surfing forums to find info on leveling services, starting other characters to check on his character, and everything else he probably could have just played the damn character.
Also, did I read correctly that the character never made 70 and he stopped around 68?
Yeah, seriously. If you are going to powerlevel, do so with a fresh account to which you have no ties, and just walk away. Come back later to your character. To open another account to keep tabs on the power leveling just seems counter productive.
While the article was composed well I think that the situation is mostly dumb.
Why pay $100, go through all that hassle, just to get a character to 50 so that you can dick around with a friend?
I could understand paying $100 to get a character to 70 if you had a raid waiting who could quickly gear it in Tier 6 or something. That makes sense. Or if you're going to then turn around and sell the account? Even more sensible.
But if you're just going to dick around with a friend and not even get the character to 70? Go play another game and spend the $100 on vodka.
What's more confusing is that he starts by talking about how Blizzard owns the accounts and the characters...and then he continues along trying to find someone to level a character for him which he won't even play for all that long.
