100% XP really?

I just stopped seeing cities full of 13 year olds making sexual names and full groups of ninjas needing everything for no reason other than that they can. Dungeons are going to be hell now with people jumping straight into SM at level 29 with the level 14 greens they got 3 hours ago and 4 spell ranks behind their main fillers since they haven’t quested for gold outside their starting zone. Does blizzard have no idea what pacing feels like? When you can get 4 levels in an hour, but the 16% drop from a dungeon you need took 2 days. Actual bots already invite for group content and sell enchants/ ports all day. It’s disgusting how casual you’re trying to make this game, you set a standard of how fast everything should be then get people complaining they can’t get to the end of gnomer their first reset, or can’t reach max pvp rank in a day or get their blood moon weapon in a single event. This screams desperation and it makes for a worse community. Not that hard to level up when 1-25 is already free and spend some of that time learning your class, contributing to the AH, getting professions, making some gold. All this does is funnel more unprepared players straight to the end and create confusion/ frustration. These devs are crazy, never before in wow was there an xp catch up like this to current content. Maybe incentivize playing SoD by adding thing to make people want to level, instead of just taking away the entire leveling experience.

All I’m saying is buff rogues

Cool story bro if you don’t like you stop paying and stop playing. Contrary to popular belief the paying customer is not entitled to complain they are only entitled to stop paying.

It’s almost like management saw the sub$ coming in, or lack there-of, and asked for some changes.

Unfortunately, the damage is already done…

Watch numbers dwindle even more, making things easy is the pathway to failure, just like every expansion since vanilla (casualising and trivialising content). Why not just give everyone artifact/legendary/epics and make them easy to acquire? I will feel super accomplished and want to play more right? Terrible game design made by horrible retail dev team, lead by Josh Greenfield aka Jay Wilson.

You mean like they’re doing already because non-BFD gear is awful?

Good news, they’re also buffing quest gold while leveling to compensate for the increased exp

They are. They’re increasing the gold and exp to make it less of a slog and entice people to level more alts

Contrary to popular belief the paying customer is not entitled to complain they are only entitled to stop paying.

Theyre not going to hire you bro. You dont have to make these ridiculous arguments on behalf of a billion dollar company.

You can turn the buff off at any innkeeper iirc.

Something something “but then I’ll be behind!” or something to that effect. S’how it always is with people like this, it’s not enough that they can choose to play the way they want to, everyone else has to be forced to play their way too

Buff warriors

Its called milking the subs.

Instead of releasing next phase, they wanna try to prolong as long as possible because thats another month of a sub they can get away with in a content drought. Whoever proposed the 100% exp got a bonus.

What was the buff in SOM?

I know that put things on par with TBC.

TBH, I was surprised that the buff didnt come from the start like SOM.

but yea… been here… done that… nothing to see here. this was expected. we know the past

Only healers should be given the buff

Looked it up.

SOM came preloaded with a 40% buff which was increased to 100% in February of 2022…

this is literally the exact same thing.

This actually came 25 days later this season.

Those who dont know the past are doomed… to be surprised when stuff happens? :man_shrugging:

What does the S in SoD stand for?

We’re here for a good time, not a long time. This is their design.
