I would like to take my time through Dragon isles and want to disbale xp from time to time. Google says I need to talk to Behsten in SW Keep. He isn’t there… First of all, why don’t we just have a toggle that we can hit anytime we want to stop xp. And anyone know where this guy is?
I thought we CANT turn off XP once we hit current content?

It is not possible to turn off experience for characters that are level 60 or above.
For characters level 59 and below, visit Behsten in Stormwind or Slahtz in Orgrimmar to turn off experience gain.

This seems like a poorly hashed out option.
If people want to slow down the leveling process, or even repeat it… they should be able to.
Help me understand. Is there a quest or something you can put level in DF then no longer complete? Or are you just complaining about leveling too fast for the sake of complaining?
Why would I be complaining for the sake of complaining? Why was this the thing that popped into your head?
In another thread I was just praising Blizzard for something they did. Was I praising Blizzard for the sake of praising them? Is that some how something someone would do?
Because I haven’t yet understood why you are requesting this change. What problem are you encountering when you level up in dragon flight besides, “I don’t like it?”
The entire point was that we do enjoy the leveling process.
That’s why I suggested a way to re-level the same character, or slow the process beyond lvl 59.

Everything scales though? If you’re doing the quests at level 62 or 70, they’re basically the same right? Just curious what in particular people feel they’re missing out on.

Ok but OP wants to turn it off.
If you want to repeat leveling, because you enjoy leveling… maybe reroll lots of alts?
I’m not sure how many people would want to roll their character’s xp back aside from twinkers who want to exploit higher level gear. I would hope blizzard had NO INTEREST in wasting development time on those griefers anyway.
DF doesn’t scale like older expansions, the zones have set levels. Older zones and dungeons do scale, so simply re-leveling without any changes to the system would be kind of a waste of time. I personally think the game needs a paragon sort of leveling system. You’d reset your level, conditions would get harder (more exp required, take more damage, can’t use heirlooms etc etc) and then you’d be rewarded for hitting max level milestones.
I don’t know, I think it would be interesting and fun, but who knows.
Yeah I don’t know how many people would be interested in that sort of thing. But, if there are rewards for hitting max level X times, people will at least try for some of them.
Welcome to WoW? The entire thing has been trashed for many expansions now. You cannot expect more from developers that hate their own game so much they do not even want new players to experience most of it, so dump them late into the story.

Can’t disable experience gain if you’re 60+
Also if you just want to quest then you can do that at max level.
Maybe, but classic questing is completely ruined because of the strange scaling. Me doing 10 million damage to mobs is not great for gameplay.
Are you able to party sync with a friend for that?
I know personally, I prefer to run random BGs from 60-69. Like, where it actually takes effort to kill siege engines in IOC or Wintergrasp, for example. I would love the option to slow leveling by like half or 2/3/
That is weird. I wonder what the thought process was of that?
except you would end up completing all the quests and all the rewards would be level 65.
You would be perpetually underpowered and incapable of joining any normal content with anybody, and anybody who DID invite you would promptly kick you out because you are absolutely useless without good gear. WE all are useless without max level gear.
So unless you have a whole guild of twink characters, you will basically just stagnate.
Some recipes can’t be learned until max level if I remember correctly.
And I promise you, without a doubt…you literally couldn’t finish up the whole story without hitting max level. Some of these enemies would cream you like a can of corn bro.
Hell, even at max level with 424 gear…some enemies just slap you around man.
You literally can’t do current content without getting to max level.
My memory is pretty bad, but I am pretty sure the same thing has always been true. Once you get to a certain level doing certain content, you just have no choice BUT to level up and progress. I half-donkey remember not being able to stop my hunters’ experience at like 71 because I really liked the Borean Tundra, but I couldn’t because I had stepped into the new content.
Also, the rule is to almost always stop at the top of a bracket…is that even a thing anymore?
People used to twink their toon out at like level 19, especially hunters. A level 19 hunter had access to something…some kind of extra talent or power or skill…something that gave them a huge advantage, so we used to see a bunch of lil lvl 19 hunters running around everywhere because they were beefy for any level appropriate content, mostly just pvp though.
So again, level 59 should be where you stop. But then you can’t do Dragonflight. But again, the rewards are for level 60+, so you couldn’t even try to even if you managed to get in somehow. Even the most basic of mobs would absolutely destroy you because the scaling only goes so far.
It’s actually one of the most well thought out systems in the entire game.
You just don’t like it because you don’t understand it. Like most people, you are afraid of or hate what you don’t understand.
But now you have been informed by a veteran experience turner-offer. I won’t say it the other way because lol noooo
I know myself. When I get to level cap I won’t be interested in doing past quests. So I figured since I am in no rush I would do all the quests and crafting as I level in DF. I am level 64 and still not out of first zone. I will be cap before I finish 2nd zone. Bummer I can’t pause xp.
Maybe at one point, but not anymore. Mostly because of the new talent trees. In order to enjoy older content now I have to sacrifice what were basic baseline abilities to get to the bottom of the tree before level 60. I’ve been disabling XP on characters for many years, it has been my main form of WoW-related entertainment, but DF quite literally ruined the game for me.
The system sucks.
