Getting a character to level 80 in Warcraft can seem a long process. But you should prioritise this above everything else to begin with, here's why;
1 - All new content that is added is for level 80's. It's true. There is more content for a character at level 80 than provided by the entire levelling process, with more being.
2 - You can compete in full blown PvP. Sure there are battlegrounds at every level, but at level 80 they become massive fights with the latest in user controlled vehicles and the greatest rewards in terms of what PvP rep can buy you.
3 - Level 80 for the first time? Or doing it for the tenth? It's a great feeling. It's like a rite-of-passage. Now you have made it a whole new world opens up.
4 - Cataclysm? Heard of it? Well, if you want to get straight into the new end-game content, and be a competitor once the raids at level 85 begin, you need characters ready to go.
5 - Making Warcraft gold. People will tell you that you can make gold at any level. Well, while it's true is no cap to speculating in the auction house, what are you going to use the gold for with just a level 20 toon? The fact it that at 80 you will make 200 gold an hour just by doing other stuff like questing or helping out on a raid. You come back. Sell the loot, and wham 200+ gold per hour with no effort. You'll wonder why you spent days trying to scrape a few thousand together with a low level character when you can totally own the game at level cap.
Sure, the twin goals of being super rich in terms of Warcraft gold and getting to level 80 sometimes seem to clash. They need not though. There are some great systems out and being developed that give you all the help you need while you enjoy the game.
Have a great time, and get levelling!
