He made the same thread on the classic forums too, I think they are just annoyed they dropped this unannounced change while they’ve been waiting for it on Classic.
I mean, I get it. But 50% is not that much in classic anyway. That’s why they changed it in SoM. Which is what WotLKC is becoming.
I called leveling pathetic and boring in retail, and yes I stand by that. I didn’t hate on you for playing retail.
I mean, I get it… they’re waiting… but he’s not even happy that they got a message telling them their announcement is coming soon. 
You are correct. I gotta vent my rage somewhere. And Blizz forums is where it is at.
Blizzard promised TBC faster leveling…?
Is happiness allowed here?
If you want faster leveling in classic, why don’t you just beg for store bought character boosts? I’m sure blizzard would love that if you are ok with altering how leveling works in classic.
I mean, you have to remember that we JUST waited for 6 weeks for an XP buff that they said was coming soon.
And then they gave it…but not to us.
So Blizzard’s words don’t mean much
That’s why we got the forums, carry on.
Yes. Weeks ago, Blizzard promised to give Classic a 50% XP buff called Joyous Journeys. They said it would come “in the coming weeks”.
The entire community has been waiting for it and anticipating it.
And then they gave it…but not to us.
I can’t even figure out how to play classic. Is it on the launcher?
LOL apparently not. I mean, I made a thread asking if we could have the buff for longer and someone decided to make it their personal mission to be the most toxic, unhappy person they could today. 
So? Who cares? You’ll get it when it makes sense to get it. And it’ll be announced soon. Gotta relax more. 
So why attack retail players instead of calling out the people who made the decision?
Such a strange tactic to get absolutely no support. Especially on the retail forum of all places.
Show me where I attacked retail players. What I ACTUALLY said was “I’m glad that they gave you the buff they promised to us. I just wish they had also given it to us”.
Retail players are totally fine. Blizz forgetting Classic is the problem
I found the thread.
First of all, 4 weeks, not 6.
And to directly quote the thread:
I mean, that’s pretty clear right?
WOTLK is still unannounced as far as a date goes.
And it’s not exactly intended for TBC players, it’s intended for WOTLK players who want to get their characters ready.
My guess is Aug 9th is the pre patch due to server consolidation on that day. I expect the EXP buff to either be sometime this week on a random day or the 26th.
But who knows.
Yup. And now they implemented the 50% buff
…but not for us.
And that is the whole point.
I know.
But my point is yours is coming. And they haven’t lied to you or anything alone those lines.
The thread is clear.
An EXP buff is coming for people to get ready for WOTLK.
The EXP buff isn’t designed to get people leveling up on TBC to play TBC.
Just as retails buff is getting people ready for season 4. I’m sure the duration of the buff will be the same.
why are classic players unable to distinguish between “difficult” and “tedious”?
People screamed about wanting an authentic classic experience for years. With all the slow leveling and grinding they could sink their teeth into.
Now you’re mad you’re not getting an xp boost to make your leveling faster.
