It is just a harmless expression. No idea why so many people are triggered by it.

Iām not at all lol
Iām more concerned with what happens to ALL 58 of my toons who can currently fly in all content except Legion and BfA.
Will the level squish take their flight ability away, although I have spent thousands of gold, hours and in some cases, real money to acquire it and the flying mounts I have?
Will it be possible to reach level 60 without buying SL? Will flight be both level restricted to 60 AND require pathfinder? WTF Blizzard?
I need answers before I even consider ever playing SL, much less, buying it.
Not trying to be hostile here,
but can you please explain why you would be excited for a level squish when Blizzard did poorly with both stat squishes which are (arguably) a lesser endeavor?
Iām more Meh.
I hate the Level Nerf, but at least it fits with the lack luster approach to making all past expansions meaningless.
I feel WOW has long since gone past the point of a great MMO, no Iām not angry, Iām more apathetic and donāt care anymore. I purchased the Account Upgrade, but Iām not upgrading any of my 12 other accounts because the level boost is tied to a Mount. Which means itās worthless to run multiple accounts anymore.
The class upgrade is basically restoring us to MoP, wonderful, about time. Meh.
The covenants are a revisit to a TBC mechanic only done new and cool with better graphics.
The Maw and the tower sound interesting, so Iāll totally grind it all to hades, as I like a good solo challenge.
All in All Warlords sounded better until they said they were going to removed flying. So I think I am looking at an expansion which is marginally better than BfA worse than WoD, and less interesting than Legion.
Literally the only thing I am looking forward to is leveling Alts quickly, and the tower which can be run weekly.
So yah, meh, not anger, the time I got angry was WoD no flying announce, which promptly caused me to close my account for 6 months. (Loosing Blizzard 5 paid accounts at the time. )
I clearly wont be bothering with multi-accounts in Shadowlands.
Actually no. Iāll use old raids as an example.
Say you have a level 110 character, who is legion geared, that alt is only used for running old raids and dungeons, and there is no reason to level them in BfA.
Come the Shadowlands pre-patch day, all Raids available will be level 50. ICC level 50, BT level 50, AQ level 50. Guess what, our level 120s will be level 50. Our level 110ās will not be level 50, they will (doing mathā¦) 45.833ā¦
So our 110ās who were able to run Ulduar are now not only unable to solo the old raid, they actually are under level for them, meanwhile our level 50ās wont beable to run it solo either because they are the same level as the raid door.
In one sweep of a magic hand, old raids are now current content, until we enter the new expansion area.
Oh and hereās why they have to do it that way, say you choose to level in Wrath, if they try and set the raids and dungeons any earlier than level 50 for the endgame content, and base it on ilevel (assuming they donāt nerf the numbers) than once you hit ilevel 100 ie level just over level 15 youāll beable to solo BT, once you hit level 20 you can run ICC, level 25 all cataclysm, level 30 pandaria, 35 WoD, 40 legion, and 50 for BfA raids. This means while you are doing Wrath for story, you are also hitting ICC soloā¦ That is a major flaw in design. While if they set them to 50, then for the 3 months of Prepatch we can run any raid in the game for upgrades, also flawed.
Sure, I donāt mind Iād rather go into Shadowlands fully geared in Wrath gear, as Warlock Wrath sets looked better anyway.
Ok I could care less before this thread now Im so happy theres a level squish.
This is a way easier thing to do than thew stat squish
I think you should speak for yourself because I have no problem with the level squish. I canāt stand the idea of leveling to begin with

This guy doesnāt speak for me. Squish your asses off!
At max level it doesnāt matter. Blizz has said there will not be a stat squish at the same time. The benefit comes from leveling alts or new players to the game.
Iām leveling a hunter alt currently and dinging a new level is meaningless. I only get new spells every few levels and talents every 15. Squishing it will make levels actually signify something since youāll get something new for each one (so says Blizz, not sure how spells will be spread out).
For new players, having the ability to level through BfA to Shadowlands, and then other xpacs for subsequent alts, makes the process feel much more manageable. As it stands now, if I invite someone new to the game, they face 120 levels spread across 5 different fractions of xpacs until they get to current content. The squish and streamlining makes me way more likely to encourage someone to try WoW.
That doesnāt sound right to me, tbh.
Level directly factors into your stats. Iām not sure how one can be done without the other.
Leveling alts, perhaps. New players to the game? I donāt see it.
But that could be done without a squish. This is simply Blizzard making less work for themselves so they can give less things to the players.
Privacy is important but it is not related to the level squish in any way.
No the level squish is fine. They should have kept the five level formula from cata if anything.
I see no problem here.
Not even a slap in the face? Youāre slacking Rastlin, think Iāll have to find a new favorite trollā¦
