I am definitely rushing to level 80, was 2nd on my server to hit 70 in TBC and aim to be top10 again. Besides the whole competition bit of leveling fast, I find leveling to be the most boring bit of the game. So I want to hit 80 and take part of what WoTLK has to offer there.
I dissagree with that you can only take joy in the game if you level slowly and do every epic questline or similar. And either way I can experience the quests just as fine at level 80. Something I plan to do. And if you say I can't experience those bits as well at level 80 because it will be too easy, I couldn't care less
