how soon will it be until mop is included in the 'starter chest'
also how long will it be before raf exp works until level 100?

mop is included in the starter chest o.O

if yu mean draenor id say july 30th of this year since with mists to draenor it was a month before

mists added to battlechest on oct 14, 2014
draenor released on nov 13, 2014

yeah I meant draenor thanks for the correction.
hmm. do you recall if raf went up to the current max level at that time as well?

thinking of rafing an account.. but I am super lazy and if I can wait a few months and be able to raf to 100 that would be worth the wait imo.

not sure draenor just dropped to $9.99 yesterday

soda just did 1-100 in 4 hours on his stream

leveling now should not be a problem, even for the laziest of the lazy

Can you link the stream for us?

yeah I need to see that.. lol
right now 90-100 still takes me at least 4 hours alone.

You should be able to shave off atleast 1-2 hours if you buy a couple of "Elixir of the Rapid Mind" +300% experience elixirs, which aren't that expensive anymore due to everyone getting them in their garrisons.

The trick is to almost finish Bonus Objectives, so that you only need to kill 1 mob or collect 1 item to finish. Then when you've done that for as many Bonus Objectives possible, you drink the Rapid Mind elixir and finish off all of the objectives you prepared.
While doing this, also collect as many treasures as possible, as they also award a good chunk of instant experience, especially with the Rapid Mind elixir active. Just make sure you focus on the Bonus Objectives over anything else during those 15 minutes.

that is what I do. but clearing all the objectives to near completion takes around an hour and doing this only gets 5-6 levels. still need to either hunt treasurers or quest for the rest.
I have a routine I typically go through which ensures I get certain followers as well as the salvage yard while questing so maybe that makes it take a little longer. usually finish with about 15 followers

you should do this, it works as i did that with most of my characters (currently have 11 lvl 100)

Get 3 Elixir of the Rapid Mind.
Get to 91 by doing the intro quests and building your garrison.
Complete all the bonus objectives (except for one mob) and Wanted quests in your starting area.
Use one potion.
Finish all bonus quests and turn in any other quest you completed along the way.

You should be about 93.5 (if you also have full heirlooms).

Go to Gorgrond.
Do the quest line up until you build the garrison outpost.
Again, complete all 8 bonus objectives (minus one mob) and get all 8 trophy quest items from the elites in the zone.
Pop a potion then complete all the bonuses and turn in all 8 trophy quests at your garrison outpost.

You should be 98. If you aren't, go to Spires of Arak and do one bonus objective.

Go to Nagrand.
Do the intro quest to get to where your outpost is. Don't do the quests to build it yet.
Complete all 3 bonus objectives (minus one mob).
Pop last potion and turn finish all 3 bonus objectives. Go back to outpost and do quests to build the outpost. Should hit 100 before the potion wears off.
