Level 60 and you:

High end instances. You can lose an entier night trying to put together groups for high end instances, and if you don't use the forums and plan ahead, you can sometimes miss out totaly. Strath, Sholo, MC, DWL, UBRS, LBRS, BRDS, the new Zul'whatever one, Sunken Temple... They are all good quality and great fun. The downside is, you might have to run them twice a day, every day for 3 months to get your end game gear from them... And even then it's not promised. In other words... You want your Blue or Purple class set? Then you've got PLENTY to do at level 60.

Epic pony cash... If your farming, fighting, or buying and selling on the AH, you got a LONG road ahead of you, and it needs to be paved with gold. This is a real collectors item this horse... It's fast, it looks awesome and it makes you feel good to rock up to a raid where everyones standing around on your massive, shiney mount. Maybe you don't care, but if you do, you got PLENTY of gold farming and raids and sales ahead of you at level 60.

End game quests... Trying to get Rend Blackhands head? Need your attunment to the Core? Your guild needs someone with the key to Sholomance? These things sound simple... Just a few quests and hey presto, but while your spending your 15th day killing level 61 Elite Dragons of different colours, it might pay to remember the times you were young, and killing a Worg was mighty fine work. If you want to be the guy with the attunment and the Onxiya key, you got plenty of killing to do at level 60.

Trinkets: Look in your auction house... See many trinkets? Not really... See the good ones? No chance! Know why? They are all quest items! And most of them are quest items from instances like Dire Maul. You want that little extra something that makes you speical? A shield that protects you for 500 dammage? Instant recovery from stun and fear? +2% chance of parry, +2% chance of block, +200 armor, +50 attack power... Time to get on your horse and go find those quest givers, rare drops and speical tomes, cos your going to be very busy at level 60.

Your in a guild? Are your professions at 300? God forbid one of them should be enchanting... But even if it's not, you are suddenly a bank of cool potions, neat armor and items, enchants, magical stuff and things the new guild members need... And they are prolly doing quests that need someone to help them.. Thats why people join guilds right? Well, if your part of a guild, you should never have a dull moment at level 60.

PvP? Go ahead, slip into your "Chat Options" bar and chose "World Defence"... Now find two level 60 friends and away you go. I promise you, that World Defence is NEVER quiet. Even if it is, theres WSG, AV... Capture some flags, or secure gold mines and castles with your friends. Get your rank up high because some of that PvP equipment is worth it's weight in gold... Heck, even just the "Grunt" status gives you a neat trinket that protects against stun... And let me tell you, against Rogues, Paladins, Warlocks and Druids it's invaluable. You want a good rank in PvP? Level 60 will never have a dull moment.

It's good fun!
