If Blizzard actually cared about the millions of subscriptions they just got they would have actually been on top of it. Instead of some half-assed patch note.
By now I’m assuming it’s too late unless they can see how many of a certain type of mob was killed, and actually pull their heads out of their…
So in short LOL, I’m pretty sure people are still claiming world first everything, and getting 100k people watching their stream.
All Blizzard approved apparently.
Sad Blizzard in 2019 can’t even be on top of their own classic game they already had a beta for…
So what if a couple hundred people were able to level faster, they now have 2mths to twiddle their thumbs waiting for something to do in Classic
It really doesn’t affect you in anyway shape or form
It affects:
PvP
AH
Professions
Economy
Just to name 4 ways it affects me and everyone else who didn’t get the same benefit, in any way, shape, or form.
AND don’t make up numbers, you have no idea how many people exploited this way, where did “couple hundred” come from?

Meh, it’s fine by me. I don’t watch or care about the streamers and I think racing for first anything in classic is silly and beside the point of it. Let them have it 
The World First kills are absolutely invalid. The entire reason they were able to implement their private-server honed strategy is because they got to 55+ sooner than they would have been able to without the dungeon spam.
Exploit early, exploit often. There are rarely any consequences for doing so.
Things like this affect more than exp for players. They also have farmed mats, greens, blues, possible purples. They also have farmed gold. Is it any coincidence that gold selling is starting to take hold in game now? All these things correlate. This is far more nefarious than just experience, its basically game breaking.

If I actually wanted to play this way and rush to max level, I would have stayed in 8.2. Way better mounts, more places to see, etc.
don’t let the door hit you on the way out
I never used more than a 5 person leveling group anytime I was playing Classic SM. I never heard of that tactic till now. So I am perfectly fine with them nipping this in the rear.
Not that big of a deal…go back to questing and do it the right way. Phase 1 boring as frick anyway…just savor the slow burn.
I for one couldn’t care less about this. they used a cheesy leveling strat to plevel. good for them. they want to be cheesy? fine… be cheesy, I’ll stick to my 1-3 man xp groups and questing the way it was meant to be done.
has anyone else noticed that the only people accused of this were alliance? … just saying… FOR THE HORDE!

I agree with you however, in Classic, nobody really cares about “worlds first.” People knew some were going to exploit getting there. This isn’t new, fresh, never-seen-before content, so there are people who already knew what they were going to do.
Can you please all stop saying this? You do not get to decide how other people play this game. If people like rushing to max level, then let them. That’s how they enjoy the game

Wpvp is the only pvp that matters.
BGs are where people go to hide from wpvp (except old av).

@testoraeu lol D3 ruined D3, its a much better game now but it was just a bad game…
@celessi unless they said more then that I think the point is the people complaining that they where able to level faster then other wise intended isn’t really important to them and shouldnt’ be important to the majority of players.
the point is have fun and enjoy the game.
