World of Warcraft Refer-A-Friend Fiasco

Many players find that the (sanctity of leveling) is compromised by this. We've already got double experience going for the first sixty levels and if you throw in triple experience then you'll have something along the lines of six times the original experience players first had to work through a year ago. Not only that, but the ability to summon one another is amazing and can cut down leveling times by leaps and bounds.
So many players feel hurt and betrayed by Blizzard that they had to contend with the original rates to hit level seventy and new players will be able to (powerlevel) through it making most of the content trivial. Not only are the two friends going to get content trivialized for them but they'll also get a free sweet mount.
Let's not even get into the complications. Dual-boxing (people who run two accounts at once) can start with one account, refer another, and level up two accounts at triple exp. Think about someone who makes a chain of accounts (especially for people who run 5 characters at once) with five characters all running around at 5 times the experience!
