Is chromie time stuck at level 50? If it went up to 60 as BfA did, then expansions such as Legion and Pandaria should also scale up

Call me a whiner I guess, but this is hot garbage, why does the assaults’ have to scale? I was looking forward to doing them quick and now the elites are 60 with nearly 800K health. I know I’ll be 70 and they go back to being easier, but I was ready for them to be Legion easy.
WHY the hell does Island Expeditions have to scale too? I hated BFA more than Shadowlands and now it’s not even farmable content anymore.

There are some issues with gear reward levels and scaling. This happened at the squish and took them some time to address so I hope they fix this too. Because I have no intention of leveling any toons in SL again.

No it doesn’t… When it scales so you can run the content, the rewards should scale so you can use them. It is an issue with their scaling tech and them cutting corners… Nothing more, nothing less.

Not sure why anyone would hate BfA levelling zones more then SL personally but each to their own I guess.

Well, I did hate both so much they were my least two played expansions. In Shadowlands I did level most of my alts via flower picking and mining as it was better than questing. I hate the accents of the Kul’tiran and I find Zul’dazar zones miserable. In terms of purely leveling I still think it should be any Xpac you want. Favoring an Xpac that is now 2 generation old seems wrong.
Seems like they could have easily made BFA the default Chromie time leaving the zones old levels for people who wanted to farm old content
You have a point.
I thought some of the best zones were at the end of the experience. Drustvar and Mechagon.

BfA scales to Level 60.
But why are Mechagon and Nazjatar Level 50 without Chromie Time?
They should be 60 too.

scaling up old content to max level. another nail in the coffin. who is working at blizzard making these decisions? if chromie time wasnt enough. leave players clear old content without requiring groups for an elite mob from historical xpacs please.

Thank the gods they are not, as there would go another mount farming area. They shouldn’t be, because they aren’t leveling zones. And that is kind of my argument. Island Exp should stop at 50, are people really going to run 3 man scenarios to level from 50-60? Maybe some tiny percent, though maybe I’m an even smaller percent that was farming them for doubloons and mounts

BfA zones and all BfA content should remain capped at level 50 once a player is no longer leveling in Chromie Time.
Gear from any source (reward, dropped, crafted, tokens, etc) should match the new level / ilvl curve, no one should be getting useless garbage gear.
Legacy raid / mythic (non-leveling) content should not get scaled up or the existing legacy player buff (at all levels) should be increased to compensate for any upscaling.

They want new players to use BFA as the leveling experience though so at this point we have a mess on live servers.

Cause somebody somewhere thought scaling was the best solution to a problem that didn’t exist and all it really did was screw things up.

Ditto! I can’t farm Motherlode!! solo for the mount drop either. Now getting rep to get flying get unnecessarily hard as well. smh

Is Chromie time to 60 active right now?

They are end content, which was never intended to become leveling content in any expansion. Some of the decisions they have made are hard to parse.

This scaling nightmare feels like it’s from a dev team that was rushing and didn’t care to polish or fix anything. Legion raids also got a 33% damage and health buff on all bosses so now things like Mythic Aggramar hit like a truck and the DPS check to beat certain timers has become a nightmare. BFA open world farming and dungeon farming were broken entirely.
