Fun fact. There are sharks in northernd that scale up to level 70.

I have never, ever, seen them state anything whatsoever that corroborates what you just stated as a matter of fact.

Do you have a source?

there’s also 2 hostile dwarven npcs in wetlands that scale to level 70. same thing for the orgrimaar cooking daily where you go to kill thieves that stole some food. there’s also a rare elite spider in redridge highway that scales to 70.

I got my Blue Drake yesterday.

Cheating is fun!

He’s been caught so many times as his inept apathy destroyed wow and he gets promoted for it.

I wonder what happens when the microsoft deal gets canned? Bobbi must have wiggled out of the performance clauses and got his bonuses anyway, but to be honest I can’t see them bothering to continue to support this game.

Because forced scaling (arguably even chromie time as implemented and level squish) was a mistake.
It should have been optional.

This is true and also something of an understatement… the scaling in BFA is beyond broken. When they went back and un-squished it to make leveling go to 60 instead of 50 they messed up the spreadsheet formulas somewhere. Badly. Really badly.

Is it in their ToS that people are not allow to go back and farm old content? Please show me where that is in their ToS. Lot’s of people go back to farm old content for mogs and mount. Remove that and you get a bunch of people leaving. I will be one of them as I level new class I want to go back and farm the mogs.

He wants to play a different game, and he wants WoW to be completely changed to make it that game.

If Blizzard actually went back and fixed Legacy raid scaling and mechanics so they were soloable as used to be the case (2 expansion old raids soloable by anyone), and if they put Shadowlands dungeons in the dungeon finder for level 60’s, I might start to trust that they are sincere about making changes.

But that won’t happen. See the fact that they again pulled a bait and switch on casuals who were expecting the new dragon appearance to remain available in all difficulties, as it was on the PTR.

Legion max level is 45, BFA should be 50, and SL should be 60.
Shadow Lands should have a 10 level buffer just because it is the prior expansion. And realistically, BFA should have the legacy mode applied to it.

But since they lumped BFA into SL levels, you don’t get that legacy buff, because technically with their logic, it is within the 10 level gap of the current expansion.

It’s probably Gnollfeaster that bread was talking about, since for a while after the rare was added—don’t know about still, since I haven’t messed with that for a few years—some un-subbed account level 20 twinks would save the drops from Gnollfeaster to vendor for around their very low gold cap (again, probably not anymore since I believe they increased the trail account gold cap [or at least vet, un-subbed account]). But, yeah, I imagine it’s Gnollfeaster, but I’m not sure if that’s who bread meant. Bread is on forum vacation though, so I figured I’d give a guess of which rare.

Everything is purposeful.

Even now, you can take alts of squished xpac max level (45 for legion, 50 for BFA) and run them through content from 2 expacs prior (test this yourself!)

Level 45 doing MoP content (2 expacs ago) does 100x more damage than usual.
Level 50 doing WoD content (2 expacs ago) does 100x more damage than usual.

These 100x modifiers are not a new addition, they were there before (I remember when they got added in WoD prepatch). Ion has been quoted as saying they now believe the player power increases are enough, and are no longer adding bonus damage.

By his own scuffed calculations, player power increases 16-20x 2 expansions later, which means you can act as a 20 man raid, and therefore do not need a damage buff. He then goes on to say 3 expacs later you will be at 80x, which is enough to “destroy” the content.

This fails to consider that the same applies for content which ALSO had a 100x modifier in the past, meaning you would be at 2000x strength only 2 expansions later. Any mount and transmog farmers know this held true until SL where they only made it 10x, and now when they removed it entirely.

They use to go back and remove anti solo mechanics - it was late but better late than never. Now nope. Tried normal BFA raid and anti solo mechanic blocked me.
