Buddy of mine named himself daterape in bc and made it to 49 before the suspension. We laughed at him and told him the whole time he was going to get suspended, we still laugh about today.
You find one onWoW Guild Rankings :: WoWProgress - World of Warcraft Rankings. Look for a guild that wants quality players that understand their class and meet your availability. Might take a few to find one that accepts you because you dont "have the ilvl or achievements", hopefully you will...
Couldnt agree more its so fast to level with heirlooms, just do every instance once as a tank and you will be 85 in no time, then its just a matter of what spec you truly want to play to get you to 90.
Think those time are accurate 5 days a week is hardcore. 20 hours plus a week is hardcore to me, 12 to 19 is semi hardcore and under 12 is casual. You can get alot done in 12 hours of wildstar raiding.
Raiding 3 nights a week and progressing isnt that hard in this game, sure you wont be elite and in Datascape but you can still progress. Never understood the mentality to raid 5 days or more in any mmo, even in wow only did 4 max.
This game is casual friendly, its just not bad player friendly.
Jboots gave runspeed, pegasus cloak gave levitation and you could click these from your inventory at any level. Even if they give blues off rares in wildstar no one is going back to get them because they are blue at level 50.
I think the biggest thing the Wildstar Devs forgot was to make the game world fun. EverQuest did this through rares(pegasus cloak, jboots etc..) and the need to group to farm items that didn't always drop(fungi tunic, every major class epic). TBC did it because well it was new and the raids were...
I clamored for them to not split the population, but the carbine response was because "lore". They should go the Rift route for transfers and for pvp via mercenaries( temporary fight for the other side) and no faction splits on pve servers.
The biggest issue with this game is that Jeremy Gaffney did not listen.

"Several factors apply:
1) The 1% are pretty vocal. If they report back to the 99% that the elder game sucks, guess what? Lots of people leave - why bother levelling up if no love...
I think the game just needs another trigger if a certain outcome like Felwithe being in ruins happens then said adventures will build in a different area away from the dark elves. Kind of how npcs decide to not zerg a neighboring town because of their AI.
They just announced some changes on nexus report, including removing silver dungeons for attunement and swapping them to bronze medal. This should help the game out a lot in the long run.
If im going to grind I would just prefer if where I was grinding had named that spawn(eq orc camps or something like that) and or quests that just popped up while you were killing. NO more GD quest hubs, please.
I wanted to like this game, I just really dont like the look or feel of it. Combat feels slow to me after playing Wildstar, and the quest hubs of the early levels are bleh. To each their own, good luck to you if you enjoy this.
