Plain and simple, I'd use the full version of WoW-Pro Leveling Addon that those lovely fellows give away for free, and that is crowd-sourced, i.e. I believe the community members can freely submit their own leveling guides to be included in the next addon release, at the discretion and passing quality control of the owner (makes sense).
So, let's see what's good and bad about it:
The good
- It's free
- It's reasonably up to date (with a few exceptions - I'll post another article on this soon)
- Some guides tell you where to get hidden treasure in Pandaria, which gives you loot and XP - not something you'd often think of doing yourself, or pay attention to while running around (unless you know exactly what you're doing!)
- It does the necessary minimum to get the job done, without any added gimmicks or complexities
- It works well with the infamous Tom-Tom addon (but that's pretty standard)
- It's distributed through addon websites and services as a Trial version, making you go to WoW-Pro website and download the full version from there. It's still free, but adds a slightly annoying step before you can start properly using it. I can't blame the WoW-Pro guys for wanting to draw some traffic to their website though...
- Some guides need revising - I'm saying it as a person who JUST leveled a warrior using this addon, and can confirm that some stuff is out of date.
- Guides are mostly OK, but somewhat inconsistent in terms of their quality. Some earlier guides (e.g. those written by Jame) are really good and detailed, while a couple of higher level ones skip a few important comments here and there, which could be disruptive.
TL;DR: in my opinion do not use an addon if you want to experience brand new content (e.g. leveling first character through a freshly released WoW expansion), but use a good addon to maximize leveling speed and XP yield on the subsequent alts. You can always turn the addon off, if it starts bugging you.
Thanks for reading.
