Great job with the level squish, but XP Gains are over-tuned

I LOVE the new system. Going back into old content with Chromie is brilliant. Excellent job Blizzard!!!

Having said that the only concern I have so far is that leveling and xp gains in general feels entirely too fast.

Nice try, Ion, but leveling fast is more popular than buying boosts.

Leveling is boring. Game starts at max level.

And yet, there’s a thread venting fury at the heirloom nerfs, which would imply the opposite.

I don’t get this community.

Leveling is currently designed to be fast because it is just the tutorial of the game. The real game starts at Max level. They want you to get there as quickly as possible.

And that’s why the game isn’t near as good as it once was. This mentality and Blizzard unfortunately catering to it years ago. They messed up long ago.

But thankfully I can turn off xp and slow it down so I’m not leveling in the blink of an eye and speeding through a game meant to be played. Seems many people these days aren’t really wanting an mmo, but instead want nothing but a lobby game of doing raids and dungeons.

That’s the point. They intentionally designed it to be fast.

Just because we’re going back to 60 levels doesn’t mean I want this game to be classic again. If I wanted to play classic, I’d play classic.

I like the leveling speed. Im not a fan of long drawn out leveling… If its a problem for you just put on some grey gear and go pound on some boars for 6 hours straight so you can have a bit of old school.

I’m over leveling and i’ve been playing since BC. Once you do it so many times you stop caring. At this point leveling is just so I can have the class at cap and to avoid server transfer costs.

This game is littered with ADHD 12 year olds and adult children who have zero concept of a journey and patience. People today do not want an experience. They do not want a carefully crafted, immersive world to lose their sense of time in. No, they want the destination. They want their REWARDS. They want their next hit of dopamine ASAP.

Say goodbye to any feeling of a living, breathing world this game used to have. That long, arduous journey through several years of expansions and world building was what hooked me and many others. The end game content was merely icing on the cake. Blizzard and most players don’t give a rat’s behind about the journey anymore. They don’t care about the artistic vision. All they care about is their REWARD, like the sheep they are.
