Disabling XP Gains on 110+ Characters

[Nobody-antonidas (Nobody)]

I keep my skinner at 110 for a reason, that reason being that I don’t want to have to level and then raid gear my skinning alt just to gather skins at a reasonable pace.

Maybe instead of going out of your way to break workarounds for your bad game design you could actually fix the scaling to not penalize people for leveling by making the world grow exponentially stronger while the player gets weaker and weaker.

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.

Quoting for truth.

Oh they were spamming IE’s? At least someone finally explained it, thanks.

[Righteous-garrosh (Righteous)]

We’ve been thinking about this plan more today and agree that there are probably better ways to approach this issue. We’re going to hold off on this for the time being while we discuss.

Might I suggest that you first start by taking a look at reducing the nerfs to characters stats as they level up? From 110 to 120, haste especially takes too big of a cut in numbers.
Work on the stats scaling, it is the problem.

Neither are you human pally boy

Never said I was. Clearly Blizzard thinks it’s worth their time because otherwise this thread wouldn’t exist. Maybe think a bit before you post okay?

[Aikanaro-wyrmrest-accord]

The smart move would have been disabling BFA content for xp-locked 110 characters. But no, let’s ruin the whole thing.

[Hardwire-velen (Hardwire)]

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.

I don’t know how fast it would go on twinks, but my wife and I frequently help friends level via islands, and with a pair of 120 monks it usually takes us a solid afternoon of play to get someone up to 120…probably around the same length of time you spend questing. At most, the terrible exploit of leveling via twinks might shave off a couple of hours.

Stop letting the CFO be the game designer, jesus. You guys are pinching pennies way too hard. The bad PR isn’t worth it.

Every time I see stuff like this it encourages me to unsub…and I finally did just now.

[Tomganks-lothar]

Yes please. If anything, add heirloom scaling for 120 and fill the rest of the heirloom slots for wrists, feet, hands and belt.

Hell, make them stronger as they used to be. They’ve really been hurt in effectiveness since the stat squishes. They used to feel powerful until wod hit. Now they feel like blues/greens.

Blizzard actually reconsidering this if you use your and .

[Gorthchizar-sargeras]

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

This was pretty much my thoughts as well.

[Chornobyl-sargeras]

This is a garbage change and whomever decided it would actually be implemented is garbage at their job.

[anon22311205]

Or… see that they reconsidered their stance based on our feedback and decided to find a better solution - like you were saying they shouldn’t do - maybe you should think a bit more before you act like a know it all, ok?

[Kailiun-stormrage]

How is wanting to stay in legion longer an exploit?

[Primier-illidan]

WOW that is the best thing i have seen here. Thanks for your thoughts!!

[Hardwire-velen (Hardwire)]

And yours is the exact type of pettiness - mommy Blizz, mommy Blizz, Billy got a bigger scoop of ice cream than me! - that appears to be guiding the development decisions of this game.

They’ve said they are discussing options. That doesn’t mean this change won’t go through as intended originally, only that they are prepared to look at other options and see if anything else can work. Which is a good stance to take. It’s always better to be open to discussion than not, but there’s a very real chance that Blizzard will stay on course here, and people have to be prepared for that.

If they do will you shut up then?

[Hushpup-moon-guard-116265]

Oof, Blizz quickly finding out that was a bad idea. Maybe people were not be twinking at 110 to do Islands if Islands didn’t feel worse the more you level? Scaling content has done very poorly, by the time you get to 116+ you feel so weak compared to your 110 counterpart it’s not even funny.

[Earthenfury-garrosh]

What I don’t understand is why I can block someone who is clearly a realm-hopper or bot and they can continue to apply and/or join a group of mine. Why is that even a thing?

Agreed, why was this issue not addressed. My main is usually a priest but I got tired of being pulled into paid dungeon runs, blocked worked for them.
