How to get to level 70 without losing your marbles

In World of Warcraft, getting the thousands upon thousands of rotting bear carcasses and boar meat required to get from one to seventy was enough once. Doing it twice makes most of us want to slam our heads into a keyboard repeatedly. Perhaps it is time to log off? No, you must not log off. Quitters never win and winners never quit. Get that soda, get those chips, and put that headset on!

Over at Eurogamer, there was someone who felt the pain and found a way to get the job done. A few useful tips and tricks were jotted down for you to make your leveling experience more enjoyable. Tired of killing gnolls? Go for a swim in the river and laugh at murloc screams. Need to run from Loch Modan to the Wetlands? Run over to the dam and jump off to get there. Can't keep track of all those quests? Tips for that too! For your mental sanity, if nothing else, navigate yourself on over there, park your toon in the inn, and read up. You will thank yourself for doing it.

For anyone looking to level from 1-70 I have three suggestions:

1: Lightheaded
2: TomTom
3: Tourguide

These three addons will make an absolutely amazing difference in how fast and efficiently you level your mains/alts.

Does anyone else worry about games that just drain this much time doing dull repetitive tasks?

Just me again?

I'll go be quiet in the corner.

So where's the link to the Eurogamer article/column/whatever? It's nice that you mentioned that leveling up alts gets boring, but that's not a massively new bit of information.
