The Daily Quest: Zero to hero in no time flat

WoW Insider's on a Daily Quest to bring you interesting, informative, and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.

Has it become too easy to become a big damn hero? I remember the difficulty of the original 1-to-60 grind-- and man, it was a struggle at times. But getting to level 60 meant that you'd finally grown past all those random gathering errands and got to face the challenges of a true hero in Molten Core and other raid dungeons. That's changed a bit since the early days, hasn't it?

Today we've got a few posts from around the blogosphere talking about those changes and other changes that we've seen in WoW over the past several years.

• Flavor Text has a particularly intriguing essay on failure, challenge, and the apparent decline of both in WoW.

• Priest With a Cause comments on the odd homogenization of the opposing factions in WoW.

• HoTs & DoTs shares some experiences with the Dungeon Finder through the eyes of someone new to most heroics.
