the "noob patch" is the most recently implemented large patch WoW has put out.

They're calling it a noob patch because it makes the mid-levels easier, but it really doesn't make the game "easier for noobs." It just corrects the leveling curve.

Before the patch, once you hit lvl 50 the lvling starts to take quite a bit more effort (seeing as how the previous cap was 60, this makes sense). However when TBC came out and introduced another 10 levels, it created a weird double apex.

People who were just starting or those lvling alts found that they had the same slow rate @ lvl 50-57, then @ lvl 58 they could go to Outlands and the leveling was instantly easier again until about lvl 67.

The new patch simply evens things out so there's only one slow down and it's closer to max lvl.
