Disabling XP Gains on 110+ Characters

[Mizax-zuljin]

Just a terrible idea, alot of people get fun playing and spending time gearing those characters, and cuz’ you don’t like the idea of some community playing the game as they want and have fun, and not on your terrible endless questing game desing, you just change the rules only cuz’ you can do it.

So, instead of fixing the problem of the slow leveling, you’ll break the solution players were using.

Nice job Blizzard, we’re proud of you… No, we’re not, if you haven’t figured it out.

Well duh. Knee jerk reactions is standard procedure around here.
Not that I care either way since I didnt even know I could do whatever it is the OP is talking about.

Since the launch of Battle for Azeroth, we’ve noticed an increasing trend of players turning off XP gains at level 110 in order to repeatedly powerlevel other players’ characters at an excessive rate without increasing their own level. The intention of the XP-off feature is to allow alternate characters to stay in lower-level PvP brackets or relive lower-level content, not to purposefully halt progression in content relevant to the current expansion.

To curb this behavior, we plan to implement a hotfix in the coming days that will disable the ability to turn off XP gains on characters level 110 or higher. Additionally, any character of that level who already has XP disabled will find it automatically re-enabled the next time they log in.

Make it 111, some of us have alts that like to do Legion content at level.

Participation in raiding and mythic+ must be way down. They figure if they force players to level these toons they will be forced to do heroic and mythic raiding and high keys.

If they give people no choice, they’ll do that, right?

This game is circling the drain.

People are having a ton of fun on there twinks unneeded change. Typical BFA.

Also, who and what does it hurt if someone wants to stay at 110? If I didn’t have to put my tin foil hat on to believe it. I would almost say you all are upset because people aren’t buying boasts. Because I’m really trying to understand what this is fixing.

Not gonna lie was my first thought but I couldn’t figure out a angle on how this would sell boosts since it only helped 110+

Best guess is that they would hope people get tired of leveling alts and will pay for the 120 boost when it becomes available post blizzcon 2019

Because legendaries allow you to basically be immortal gods in dungeons and IEs and you can’t die. This allows sell-runs for gold. I know this because when I first did a BFA dungeon with my heroic Antorus gear and legendaries, I could pull everything left and right and never died. I fell off after lvl 115 and became weaker so…

You keep replying to people and stating how you don’t like people selling carries, of any sort, for gold. I don’t know if you know this or not, but nobody really cares for your opinion, and Blizzard has never cared about people selling boosts for gold/in-game items. They’re changing this because Blizzard wants us to play the game the way they see fit, and normally I’d agree if people were abusing a bug or exploit, but IEs giving good EXP is something BLIZZARD themselves patched in because the players asked for it.

So, please, stop spam replying your opinion to everyone who’s upset about this change.

Btw, LOL heroic antorus gear, good meme.

NO NO NO NO damn no longer playing my twinked 111 and two shotting 120s. The only thing currently fun with the game.

Ah ok, if I understand what you’re saying. The 110’s are helping people power level up to 120 because of the scaling. I didn’t pick that up at first.

They got enough boosts out of me.
The next step I take is finding another game to play.

[Stompypotato-durotan (Stompypotato)]

I am confused by this. Is it saying turning off the xp on one toon boosts the gain on alts?

[Valarien-area-52 (Valarien)]

I don’t think this is the best way to go about it.

[Gougéd-bleeding-hollow]

110s was the only thing keeping me around. Might be back for classic but the way blizz is going they will find away to mess that up as well.

[Pharsalus-thorium-brotherhood (Pharsalus)]

Now can you make it so accounts without bfa have their own pvp bracket at 110?

This.

My 110 Shaman (pre-BFA) was going up against folks with BFA gear.

[Shamageddon-velen (Shamageddon)]

Why do you care how someone else spends their time in the game? As far as the need to see questlines, pretty sure everyone has done it once. This is the same asinine thinking that goes into anti-flight arguments.

[Velara-gilneas (Velara)]

And, as subs continue to plummet and populations wane, Blizzard can look back on “D” moves like this as another log on the dumpster fire.

[Twothreesixa-stormrage]

Why are you guys getting so incompetent every other week.

[Shortheals-undermine (Shortheals)]

Don’t make any more Island Expeditions, will be a waste of time. Going to lose a lot of player participation.

[Gidhon-tichondrius]

Creative community driven events, and emergent gameplay is what makes gaming fun. Seeing players come together and create there own community and now you’ve just removed it b/c its not how you want the game to be played. Sad.
