PVP or PVE

Right now, PvP and PvE are even, but as far as after the Lich King is out, the focus will be more on PvE than PvP. People only focused on PvP when the gear was easy to get in BC. At one point (and still even so), you could just do enough BGs and get epic items. With Wrath, you need honor and arena points for BLUE PvP gear, so you won't be able to get gear quickly, so you'll actually want to do instances again. So long story short: PvE...for now.

I realy want to hit 60 fast any tips?

Go to searing gorge at 48, clear the zone. Shouldnt take long. After head to Ungoro, clear the zone. Again it shouldnt take long. Go to Burning Steppes, clear the zone, shouldnt take long. Hit up WPL, clear the zone. Or clear half, then go to EPL. At 58 go to outlands and get two levels in 45 minutes. Or at 57 you can go to outlands and just grind mobs. Its pretty effective. If you can get summoned/ported to Shat. Anyhow, the times to clear each zone fully are: Searing Gorge ~~ 1:30 Un Goro ~~ 1:30/2:00 Burning Steppes ~~ 1:00 WPL ~~ 2:00/2:30 EPL ~~ 2:00 Thats doing all the quests. If you dont know the quests by heart and this is your first character, I recommend downloading a questhelper mod. One is named Questhelper. Its used the most. Definatly not the best one, but if you are just starting with the game/mods I recommend that one. Easiest to find.

Ex. mining, skinning...exc.

Press "K" on the keyboard to open the skills menu and find the profession you wish to forget , then beside it there is a small button with a circle and a line through it , similar to a Stop sign , click that and it will ask if you are sure you wish to forget - lets say Mining , then say yes and you have a free tradeskill slot

How do I gain the taim pet ability?

Once you reach level 10 as a hunter go to a hunting trainer. A series of quests will be given that will give you your tame pet ability along with numerous abilities that benefit your pet such as feeding them (For happiness) and mending them.

The user menu keeps pressing itself

It maybe your screen, not the game... try to find a button on your computer screen! (Does it only appears when you play?)

I wont to buy a pet. If you can whare?

There are also a number of "pets" (companions) that are not buyable. You have to find them. Mostly they're dropped in the form of an egg or similar from a monster. The website www.warcraftpets.com can help you find exactly what you're looking for. It'll also help you keep track of your collection as it grows.

I have kind of slow internet.

As far as gameplay goes, you will be able to log-in and play the game (outside of major cities and highly populated areas) with a connection as slow as 56kbps with a tolerable lag. It is impossible to group with a large number of players (also known as raids) with a connection slower than 768kbps. The real problem with a slow connection are the patches and updates this game requires. Users are required to download upwards of 3 gigabytes before being able to log-in for the first time, which would take days to download on a slow connection.

Anyone knows what to do?

You need to upgrade your account at worldofwarcraft.com probably.

Best talents for pve warrior?

Warriors can spec multiple ways depending on PVE. Warriors can tank whill prot or DPS as ARMS (with a 2 hander) or DPS as fury (dual wield) I suggest looking at: www.wowwiki.com/Warrior_builds

I really cant deside....

There really is no best race or class in the entire game. Deciding on what to play is completely up to the player based on how they want to play. I would suggest playing many race/class combination to around level 10 until you find the one that suits you best. Several classes can play many roles, such as a druid can be DPS, tank or healer, while some classes are made for one thing such as rouges for DPS. Then theres the racial attributes to think about. The Gnomes have more mana than any other race, the Forsaken can get rid of Fear and Charm effects, and the Humans gain more experiance than any other class. So, choosing a race/class is completely up to you, there is no perfect combination for everyone, as every one of them has something to contribute to certain play styles. So try out a bunch of race/class combos until you find the right one. Trust me, it'll make the game a lot more fun.

How come Humans can't be Hunters?

Humans already have alot of other choices and giving them every class would destroy the lore. Hunters are supposed to be intouch with nature itself. Night elfs and Dwarves have always been seen as ranged attackers and more intune with nature its self.

Badlands Dustwallow Marsh arathi highlands and Stranglethorn vale are all places that you can go to lvl

What level can I get a mount?

At level 30, you can get the 60% speed land mount. At level 60, you can get the 100% speed land mount. At 70, you can get the flying mount from Outlands, but I don't remember the speed on it.
