Sodapoppin, one of the most popular WoW streamers of all time, addressed critics in his stream today, giving his reasoning for speed-leveling his Druid.

“I want to compete in tournaments and I want to clear Molten Core in the first week,” Sodapoppin said. “I’m not enjoying doing the same dungeon… I’m not having a dopamine rush from it, but I do enjoy the part of leveling quick. Being the first group to clear Molten Core, like, I enjoy that stuff.”

Guilds racing toward Molten Core, a level 60 raid located inside Blackrock Mountain, are seeking to be the first group to put Ragnaros’ flaming head on a pike.

Despite the pleasure Sodapoppin takes in leveling up quickly, he acknowledges the opposing viewpoint.

“I want to level an [alternate character] and take my sweet time with it,” Sodapoppin said. “But I also want to take the game really seriously.”
