Rested XP is one of those systems that hasn’t really gotten a second look in the entire 20 year span of the game. Somebody can ctrl+f the patch notes for rested XP but I don’t believe there has been any real substantive change to it during the entire lifespan of the game. Its just been 10 days for 2 levels, basically since launch. Why not 1 level every 20 hours with a max of 10, why are there no buffs that make you consume less rested xp below a certain level, why does the only buff that modifies how rested xp works cost about 200k gold per armor class? while still not being relevant to current content?

they completely ruined Looms when they made the Buff Rested stuff instead of leaving it how it was which is why people spent all the gold in the first place

Leveling is already stupid quick, I don’t think some extra rested XP is going to move the needle much in terms of speed these days.

nah it helps bro, when you go back to that alt you’ve forgotten about a month later, it feels good to have that blue bar with ya

There’s a lot of stuff that hasn’t been touched in 20 years, like raids, interrupts, circle on the ground abilities, etc, etc. DK just now got their Death and Decay looked at this xpac and you still have healers who have to cast ground circles on the ground, btw, Shaman doesn’t even use Healing Rain anymore lol.
It’ll be 20 years before they touch the zones and capitol cities.

They switched heirlooms to be buffs based on rested experience, and that did make them less useful by a significant amount when compared to their earlier state. The truth is, rested experience just isn’t going to ever be useful in a game where you can easily go from 1-max in 1 to 2 play sessions. Back when it was ordinary to take weeks, months, or genuinely never even get to max level that system was a lot more useful. The only characters I’ve had who got more than 1 bar of rested experience lately were monks, who get it as part of their class quests.
no but the point is we spent the gold for the xp not rest junk
I get that, I love rested XP too my friend.
It’s just nowadays you see folks going 0-70 in 2-3 hours via TW, so even more rested XP seems like a trivial ask.

It’s called update the game. If it doesn’t need to exist, get rid of it.

Likely because levelling isn’t as difficult as it was. It’s something that probably won’t be noticeable anymore.

Is it genuinely worth having someone remove it, though? The benefits are negligible, but is it worth any investment of manpower which could be spent elsewhere?
No idea what this means buddy. 
However, I agree they ruined Looms, man that made me mad, such a great system for alts etc and they wrecked it to slow the game down only to speed it up again, totally bonkers.
we forked out the 500k gold or what ever it was back in the day to lvl our looms for the XP % not Earn % rested…99% of the time i dont even log out in a rested area when lvling alts bc i just spam dungeons to lvl 1 dungeon tends to earn a lvl…which with the % Xp to looms ya i see it would make lvling to extreme.

Respectfully, I understand that the changes to heirlooms caused some strong feelings. I also checked and there are over 100 threads about that already. This thread is, quite specifically, not about heirlooms.
This would really only ever effect people that have a lot of alts, wouldn’t really effect start of expac shenanigans, and taking a look at the system to ensure they have access to all the knobs and levers is a good thing. Like I already identified an aura they could build that would be ideal for new players or rolling new characters in my initial post. They already have items that grant rested xp, but are quite stingy with them. Maybe some bind on account items from the upcoming legion timerunning that you can use to grant rested xp to your alts up to level 79?
I’m just spitballing here but they’ve got some real opportunities with this 20 year old mechanic that would engender a lot of good will if done correctly (like the opposite of what they did with heirlooms since y’all want to keep talking about that)
Ok, I get you now, yeah lotta gold wasted on Looms man.
It’s a discussion forum, we’re discussing rested XP, and heirlooms ties into that conversation quite easily.
No disrespect meant but this is kinda how it goes on a public forum my friend.
Feel free to ignore anything you feel is derailing your thread.
Frankly, as I already said, leveling is the fastest it has ever been, and you’re here wanting it even faster?
I don’t see that happening, we got so many XP buffs already, 25% from max alts, DMF, garrison xp pots too I think.
Just saying dude, the game about boosts you for free as it is! 
I don’t think this is what they’re asking for. You kinda just keep presenting a straw man over and over. Yes, we get it, leveling is fast.

Yup i mean i was buying looms post this update simply for ilvl. The rested bonus might as well not exist unless you have some insanely massive alt roster.
oh i got ton of alts im lvling but TW makes it nice and quick, and since people spam them to get there 5 you can pretty much stay in same group until they get the 5 then que and repeat again its nice
