Heads up to Blizz for Phase 3 - Levelling exploit

Hello!

I just wanted to point out the fact that alliance levelling meta, unless changed, will be to farm Troll Tribal Necklaces during phase 2 so that when phase 3 releases they all instantly level from 40 to 50 since its an endless turn in with XP. It was a common practice by streamers in hardcore wow, and with lots of time comes lots of prep to make it the alliance only meta.

I’m just trying to raise awareness to see if that repeat turn-in could perhaps be removed of xp and just provide some currency instead. I feel it would be best if this was addressed prior to phase 2 to avoid angering an army of farmers after they have already invested the time to prep for phase 3. Thanks!

Hah, you guys are funny. Yea you’re right…you convinced me. 5 minutes of going back and forth from your mailbox for 10 levels and then going to gank levelling zones probably wouldn’t upset anyone xD

I mean… I’m sure Blizzard has way more important things to do than fix or prevent exploits…

This is game quitting level exploitation.

Blizzard needs to not only resolve this but openly state they have.

Exploit? It’s a quest.
You’ve all seen it yourselves.

Thanks for reminding me so I can definitely not start this asap as possible.

I was horde in classic, but now I’m alliance. Therefore, I’m going to declare this matter settled and that the troll necklace thing is fine. Time to close down this thread.

It’s a quest that is in the game midway through the original level cap.

Since, for the first time in history, we have a level cap in the middle of the leveling process, this permits ONE FACTION to EXPLOIT this quest for a major advantage.

Supposing I grind for those necklaces for a week, doesn’t that entitle me to the rewards? (still took an investment of time to get some exp. Like you do on quests, riiiiight?)
I’m sorry they stop the level cap in the middle, but as somoeone who plays horde as well. I am not bothered at all. As only sweats will do it anyways.

Live and let live. it’s a video game

Alliance players in this thread are actually trying to argue that them going from lv. 40 to 50 within a few minutes isn’t a problem. That is hilarious.

This is obviously a massive issue that will definitely be taken care of if the Classic developer team does not miss it. The question is, will they miss it? To reduce the chances of that, we need more visibility on this post.

How long do you think it takes to get that many necklaces?
5 minutes?

Yeah this should definitely get fixed before it’s exploited. But I doubt it will unfortunately.

We’re playing in a glorified beta.
Just thought I’d point that out (again)

So. I should be able to “bank” experience now too right? If you could do that, I should be able to do the same right?
