Disabling XP Gains on 110+ Characters

Well please give us an update ASAP because I think I speak for everyone when I say we don’t like being in limbo wondering if our hard work is going to get flushed down the toilet on a random Tuesday next month.

Looking at the thread I’d suggest thats a good idea. My sub loss wouldn’t be your only one.

Thank you.
I hope the responses herein show there is more to this situation, as you put forth in your OP, than meets the eye.

Please continue to keep us informed?

While I understand there is a concern with powerleveling, most of it is done via island expeditions which is only useful for those that have unlocked island expeditions. So people are powerleveling their alts. Not only that, but once a toon is powerleveled you are at a significant disadvantage with rep and gear. That is the trade off, faster leveling at a cost of having to now have a harder (or more expensive) experience gearing the alt.

Powerleveling does not hurt the community.

I’ve noticed a Bug in the WoW store that allows you to give Blizzard 59.99 to repeatedly power level characters to 110 completely bypassing the leveling process all together!!!

Just thought you might want to go ahead and patch that out while you are concerned about exploits on leveling.

Has this negatively affected anyone? Seems like a weird thing to focus on. How much faster were they leveling? I mean I can grind quests and get a toon from 110-120 in a 7 hour play session.

Even if it was half that time and people were making gold from it, who does this harm?

There’s so much more that could be done that would be positive news, and they make Ythisens give us this downer. xD

Please do. I want to be able to get my monk her class mount at level. Just as I did for the other seven I was able to get while Legion was current content. I already have pathfinder part 1 officially on both horde and alliance toons. So I was not planning on abusing BFA content I just want to do Legion content at the level it was designed for.

You know why there would be little gain? Because it’s a silly thing to worry about.

My suggestion might get losted in the mix, but disable xpoff for 111+ and add a level requirement to IE of 111. That will leave the 110 twinks alone and continue the tradition of end of expansion twinks

You’re not the judge of what is worth Blizzard’s time or not.

I’m just going to assume they were going through dungeons at a ridiculous pace? The scaling is so broken in the game at 110-111. Your character is insanely powerful compared to what you’ll be at around 117-118.

No idea why they started reversing this, maybe with legion? I can’t remember if this was a problem back in wod. I know this was NOT an issue before wod. You were always going into an expansion really weak and once you got a few pieces of gear you started to feel more powerful. Toward the end of the leveling you actually felt more powerful than when you started. Isn’t that how it’s suppose to be? But scaling really throws all of that out the window.

These decision makers are an absolute clown show who have no idea what they are doing. Double downing on poor decisions and removing paying customers chosen paths for fun.

Hopefully Activi$ion boots ion out, so we can try this game again with new perspective that’s not centered around screwing the players over. You’ll never get another dime from me Blizz with this current team. Period.

Peace out!

Well it looks like 90% of people hate this decision. and 5% do not care. i mean all this is doing is showcasing how powerful legendaries were. some of the best time im having in the game right now is on an alt DH at 115 doing some islands not lvling anyone or exploiting or taking advantage but i love the play style. basically what im saying is im having more fun on a 115 then a max lvl toon i have 7 please revert this change. Blizzard you are driving me away from your games!!!

Gratz to the community to get this change stopped for now and shame on them for trying to do this - we should not have to shame you into reversing course.

Why not make a topic on these nice NEW forums and ask for our input on what might be done to fix this and then go from there.

If the real problem is people at 110 making twinks and turning off XP to power level others through IE’s, couldn’t Blizz just make it so you can’t queue for IE’s with an XP off toon?

Given all the other reasons to turn off XP at 110+ (e.g., to finish Legion content at level, etc.), doesn’t precluding XP off toons from doing IE’s solve the alleged problem? But this “fix” not only solves the “problem” but also creates a whole host of others.

In a game that people are having lots of issues with, with a commensurate drop in participation, employing an unnecessarily annoying change that will inevitably end up agitating people who are not engaging in the “inappropriate” behavior but are still impacted an overly broad “solution” doesn’t seem like a very adept and worthwhile fix.

/moo :cow:

Stop blaming the victim.

People aren’t breaking rules. People are playing the game the way the game was designed to be played. Gear drops, the gear is useful for a level range, people stay in the level range and do what they want to do.

If the designers dont want people to fly, they turn it off. If people were flying in BfA -right now- then they would be abusing the system and cheating.

People have spent CONSIDERABLE time creating twinks, content, and fun, and this change is just stupid. I want more people in the game not less.
