Exclude the twinks from normal que if this change goes through

[Yasudra-malorne (Yasudra)]

A lot of us, doesnt mean you dont like everyone else do.

I didn’t say that.

I just asked cause I’ve never seen a single post on GD asking for this particular change.

[Asabrag-kelthuzad]

This is incredibly stupid. I don’t even do this but the fact that this is even a concern is ridiculous. Heaven forbid people play with this friends in this expansion.

[Deadlyrogue-dark-iron]

Don’t remove options! Fix the problem. The leveling content is boring and takes too long.

The world quests are boring and not rewarding for the time. So people create a workaround and then you punish the player-base because we don’t want to do your content for sheet rewards.

Don’t punish the player-base, fix the problem!

What blizzard is trying to achieve here is stop the leveling boost service offered by twinks running island expeditions and freehold spam.

[Daggerbeard-proudmoore]

They aren’t trying to do anything but bolster their own inevitable 120 boost sales. Note how they have yet to crack down on other “spam” from M+ or PvP carries (because it’s not the reason they removed it)

[Cyniel-dentarg (Cyniel)]

I’ve maxed out my ignore list already… Installed Badboy and they still get through.

[Mageportal-proudmoore]

Then lobby for a bigger ignore list. I don’t know how you even do that. Unmute the oldest since they most likely aren’t playing WoW anymore.

[Cyniel-dentarg (Cyniel)]

Those are purely the level 1’s selling leveling carries in /2 on my server. My list had two (2) people on it at the start of the expansion.

[Kesnal-moon-guard]

Don’t remove options! Fix the problem.

That’s not how this development team works.

[Villano-khaz-modan]

I don’t want my XP to be 5% because some random troll que’d up on twink char and joined our group.

This won’t happen.

The change only affects groups that manually invite player characters who have XP off. There is no impact on players who find themselves automatically grouped by the matchmaker while doing PvP or Group Finder dungeons.

This change also doesn’t affect anyone who has turned off XP for their own benefit, such as plundering old raids while keeping their level low enough to use their Aggramar’s Stride boots.

I told people this yesterday in the first thread, but no one would listen. I told them it’d be party-wide, not instance-group wide, but no one would listen. Lol. shrug

Anyway, people also need to understand:

THEY AREN’T DOING THIS TO ATTACK THE PLAYERS BECAUSE THEY SUDDENLY DECIDED IT’S NOT OKAY

The Gold Farmers started to do this EXTREMELY commonly. Just like any other thing that gold farmers do, Blizzard needs to take action, and unfortunately, the only thing they can do in this case is break the way powerleveling is done for everyone in order to stop gold sellers from doing it.

Just like they’ve done with every other thing in the past Gold Sellers have done, like lowering the gold from raid bosses/trash and such.

And if you think I’m kidding, whisper one of the many powerleveling people on live right now. 9/10 times you’ll find someone who will try to get you onto skype or some other form of off-game communication who will try to get you to trade for real money in exchange, rather than gold.

FYI, the gold used by players to buy boost is FROM SELLING THE TOKEN. BLIZZ IS THE GOLDSELLER. Hello??? Earth??? Blizz sell the gold to players to pay for carries and boosts that’s why they are so common now, hello!!!???

[Blammo-windrunner (Blammo)]

people are selling boosts with xp locked twinked demon hunters… They fixed the problem as far as I’m concerned.

[Truefel-darrowmere (Truefel)]

Or just stop policing the game.
This hurts the game in no way. Players find creative ways to play and make gold in the game, and nerfing or removing them because they aren’t playing the way you (Blizzard) tell them is insane. Nothing is being done wrong here. Revert the change. It’s stupid.

[Medaax-area-52 (Medaax)]

Source? Please show me the “a lot of you” posting diligently about how bad freehold/island carries are for the game? Until this change was put on PBE there was not a SINGLE post about it on the front page of GD.

I rarely defend blizzard on anything… this is the right move. They should just make leveling less of a PITA so that it didn’t come to people selling carries for 100k gold in the first place.

[Kesnal-moon-guard]

If you think this has anything to do with people actually selling runs you’re blind. We’re about to have 120 boosts.

[Eret-hyjal (Eret)]

Why would you need that many accounts of you don’t box?

[Blammo-windrunner (Blammo)]

It’s always been about the money. From transfers to faction changes to tokens. I have no problem with the nerf. Earn your way to 120 like everyone else.

[Medaax-area-52 (Medaax)]

Because earning it with your credit card is such a better alternative

This change positively affects no one that actually plays the game. It does negatively affect a decent amount of players.

[Deathinacan-shuhalo]

This entire micro managing is out of control. This is not normal behavior for game devs.

[Deathinacan-shuhalo]

This has got to be the dumbest change yet. And the devs have done so well in the dumb department already.
