    Is this just sabotaging us?

    Ever since maybe level 25 for alliance, the guide has had me spending more time traveling then anything else.
    i am level 37 now, and people following other guides at my same play time are almost 7 levels higher...
    the guide keeps getting me to do 3-4 quests in a zone, then go to another zone, do 3-4 quests, go to another zone, do another 3-4 then go back to the first zone and do another 3-4. over and over and over, meaning about 20% of my playtime is on flight paths/running zone to zone.
    not counting time running from mob to mob. it also right out prefers to just skip some easy quests in favor of "grind the mobs here till X level"

    Are you guys horde and just purposly made alliance side horrible, cause spekaing with other people who are horde members its perfectly fine for them. I feel like there is some purposful sabotage here.



    Warlock level 37, 2 days 22 hours playtime btw

    Nevermind errors like these. I am in feralas and it wants me to get to rachet. You would think use the flight path to rachet. Since i do have the flight path there.

    Nope it wants me to fly to theramore, take the boat to menathil harbour, fly to strangelthorn, then take the boat to rachet.
    and this happenjs alot, and luckily i was not on "auto-pilot brain" mode after a long night of farming or i would have followed it.



    Another example is the guide has you go kill your skeleton fiends and skeleton horrors in duskwood. Then later it has you kill them for rotblossoms which takes ALOT of kills, and you can do them both at the same time, very easily, my friends who came with me were doing so. but the guide has you do one then the other.

    another example, been following the 35-40 guide, missed little to no quests, and it wants me to farm to 40... getting the 8 mirefin heads for the final part only then broguht me to 39... seriously grind on these murlocs for an entire level?

    Also stuff like this happens often


    saw this in other places liek ashenvale too
    guide told me to start collecting greenhills long ago, but has yet to send me back there after only getting a few leaving me with like 5 quests there and a ton of paper filling my bags

    lastly i noticed some quests it has you do whilte yellow or even oragne that you turn in only when its grey.
    also the massive reliance in the guide of having to buy mats for 1 off quests, or the start of chains you never end up doing seems like a HORRIBLE idea

    1. because this was supposed to be around launch and tons of these are not even up on the Ah or if they do, cost a ton
    2.it just wastes space and money.



    in badlands currently, the guide has me doing a quest at level 40 where i need to kill tons of level 43 and 44 elementlas... this quest is not one you shoudl be doing til you get to 41 or 42. i think at this point im going to stop following the guide and just do the quests i can find at my level.

    After playing through the starting areas for both factions and up to level 20, I can say the guides are NOT optimized at all. It seems the guides were set up for having heirlooms and a mount to run with. Having to run back and forth across the zone when quests are available and doable right at the spot you are in is asinine.

    The undead side actually has a quest that you cannot get until you do another quest in the rotation two steps or so later. So you have to skip it in the guide, then pick it up a couple steps later and do it without the guides assistance.

      same thing in hillsbrad, it tells you to hand in a quest, but you dont pick it up till about 7 steps later. a letter that you obtain the steps later while fighting the theives to the north.

        It does the same to me. There is way too much travel time and it needs to stick to a zone and do all the quests. This is not optimal at all.

        I'm switching to Questie and cancelling my sub until they get their act together.

              After playing the trial, and seeing these threads I won't be subscribing until zygor optimizes their leveling path.
              honestly, you guys might need to rewrite the entire thing. These are not the optimal routes at all and you can find way better free routes online.
              I'm not too impressed by Zygors response either, they seem to keep defending their crappy path. Update your add-on and you may get me back but for now there is just too much missing and way too much traveling back and forth. Disappointed that the guides aren't class specific either. There's just a lot missing in these guides. I'm confident you guys will release a better product, just keep us updated. Thanks.
              edit; I purchased your 1st guide back in the day and it doesn't seemed as bugged as this one.
              you even had options to die and rez back then I believe to save even more time, and profession guides.
              I know it's difficult to get a good product at launch, but for a subscription you kind of expect it to be ready.
              Also would like to see a path where dungeons are included because the fastest routes involve grouping for dungeons. Thank you.

                  I'm honestly thinking I'm going to stop using Zygor and use https://classicwow.live/leveling/ this guide is optimized and you're not running across the world constantly. The people who used this guide are already in the level 50s after 2 days /played. Huge difference in Zygor.

                  Zygor guide has you wait at a lot of escort quests that you have to wait 30mins plus for it to respond. I am also finding it requiring a lot of previous steps in other racial guides.

                    Yeah this guide is completely free of charge and is miles ahead of quality than zygor. w/ zygor Your spending almost $100 a year for a product lower in quality. Seems pretty messed up.
                    I guess Zygor has an add-on and useful utilities like sell greys and talent spec, but i question if the specs are really the best, and you can get a sell grey add-on for free. I think people want to spend the 8 a month for a nice add-on but the current path is just so crap and not even fun and is holding people back. Looks like this FREE utility even has class specific routes. Zygor take some notes and get a route that is actually optimized

                      Alliance has always been slower than Horde. Back in the day it was true as well. And the guide is not a speed runner guide. All those reputations mean you have to cross a lot of zones. I don't have a problem with the guides. I've been using them since Vanilla, they always improve in time.

                        Can confirm that myself and a friend are having the exact same issue reported here. Skipping over turn ins until they go green, running us around for a long time. Make this your home. Oh wait fly to UC, take zep to Org, make TB your home now. WHAT? you have to be kidding me. Time to finally unsubscribe until they get this way better. Joana's guide is less per month and spot on.

                          I am feeling the same. The other guides seem miles ahead then Zygor. The other guides don't have you run around like crazy. Zygor Support is doubling down on "this is how Classic was" but the problem is why aren't the other guides having 1) any grinding 2) not having you run across the world like a wild maniac? Zygor guide skips a ton. I'm having quests turn GRAY on the Zygor guide so I did all that work, just not to go back to that zone.

                          I also found a quest that I was told to accept, 10 levels later never did it or turned it in, wtf?

                          The only advantage Zygor has is the in game addon. That is it. The guide is inferior.

                          I'm sorry Zygor, this is disappointing. The amount of bugs are disappointing too. The quest text the guide is using seems to be a copy/paste of retail WoW's and jsut reinjected.

                          Routing is messing up, and telli

                            First of all I hate this forum as I lost my post three times.

                            Zygor - Your guide is disappointing. These other guides are free and Joana's guide can still be found for free. There is far less grinding. ClassicWow has done a beautiful job with their guide. I'm seeing other ones pop up now too and they all have far less running around like a wild maniac.

                            10 levels ago your guide asked me to pick up the moonstalker cloak quest. I haven't turned it in yet, 10 levels later? My quest log is getting full. I don't have room to take a break for a dungeon quest. This is disapointing.

                            I'm being passed up in levels by people who are questing and not grinding like crazy. Many of my quests turned green or gray... Your guide has us turn them in waaaay too late. This cuts the amount of exp down drastically!

                            The average level in a Zygor guide is 2 hours. In ClassicWow it is 1 .5 hours.

                            The only advantage Zygor has is the addon.

                            It is weird how support is doubling down on the "that's not how Classic was, it was like >this<." WoW was famous for it's choices.

                            Also the quests seem to be copied from retail. I'm finding it telling you to kill a WHOLE LOT LESS then the actual quest.

                            This forum is full of bugs.

                            The guide wasn't even ready for the betas so it cannot be possibly be optimized.

                              Same issues leveling an orc. It sent me from the barrens to the undead leveling area to do 4 or 5 quests, set my hearth there then to head all the way back. Didn't use the hearth for 3-4 levels to FINALLY use it again to do a few quests that jad me killing some grey and some green mobs. Then to go back to the barrens. Go to Thunderbluff to accept 1 quest and head back to the cross roads and set my hearth. Then head to a new area to the west when I still have quests down south and in the undead area. Seems like its just trolling me completely. Definitely unsubscribing and going with a free quest helper and doing it myself.. seems extremely ineffecient even with a mount
