[quote=@Sola]It's even worse now. Back in Cataclysm I grinded a disc/holy priest to 40 in little under two days...
... Mainly because I was more of a Cartoon Network kid instead of Nickelodeon.[/quote]
I hated it that Blizzard made the grind easier. The old days of taking your time to level allowed it to mean something. Now it is just a gift and there is no value in that. I quit playing around Christmas 2009. I started in Beta 2004.

Regarding the cartoons, channels like Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon came into being when I was an adult. When I was a child, we only had cartoons on Saturday morning. Being from New England, I had only so many channels; 2 (PBS) Boston; 3 (CBS) Hartford, CT; 4 (CBS) Boston; 5 (ABC) Boston; 7 (NBC) Boston; 22 (NBC) Springfield, MA; 40 (ABC) Springfield, MA and 57 (PBS) Springfield, MA. When I was a teenager, they added 38 (IND) Boston.

I remember when I came home from the Army, the number of television stations slowly began to increase. I remember MTV, CNN, C-SPAN, HBO, Showtime, and several other channels came into existence at that time.
