Lowered XP from 60-70 in the patch

If you have any lvl 60 toons or close to lvl 60 toons and were having a hard time trying to level them up to 70, now is the time to do it. They have lowered the XP needed to level from 60-70 and it’s pretty easy. I had a lvl 60 Rogue that had been waiting for the patch to come out.  This week I completed all the quests in the first area, Hellfire Penninsula and he’s already lvl 63 and about ¼ of the way to 64. Prior to the changes, he would have probably been about 62 and ½ or maybe even less. I’m getting a level about every 4 or 5 hours playtime which is really fast. It used to be about 6 or 7 hours playtime per level for level 61-70 prior to the patch. If you extrapolate that, it should take me about 50 hours or so to hit 70 as opposed to 70 hours or so prior to the patch.  That's almost exactly a 30% decrease which I believe is what it was supposed to have been lowered.  My play testing would appear to bear that out.

I also noticed that with the new changes to the talent tree, after a respec it appears my rogue is doing more damage at level 60 than I was prior to the patch.  And I don't know if it's just me, but putting poisons on your weapons doesn't seem to make as dramatic of an impact now as it used to.  I used to really be able to tell the difference when my poisons would wear off, where as now I don't really notice it.  Anyone else notice this?

Everyone's dps has increased especially spells and abilties are increased in damage with WoLTK class talents implimented live before expac. I do believe there is a post saying something new conversions for AP and SP but I am not sure where but it does make it feel like your stronger than previously.

Secondly, Blizzard is encouraging people to get to 70 as fast as they can so that they get a chanse to see Northrend when it comes out and for those that have alts that want to reroll in the expac. You can see it as a win-win for everyone in this case PLUS recruit-a-friend deal makes it so trival! :P

Smart move considering they want tp bring players back for the expansion. NO fun when your tryinng to level up 60-70 and everyone is spamming chat as to how great Lev 70+ content is
