Anyone else notice this? People were saying by about half, but I havent seen a blue post about it. Probably for the best as low levels were there farming when they should be in other zones leveling.

I heard it got nerfed like in a mid-day hotfix… but I haven’t seen % or numbers, just that “it got nerfed”.

Looks like for example if you were getting 600xp a kill, it is now 100xp. I’m horrible at math, but that seems like a massive nerf to it!

As usual blizzard always has to nerf anything that is fun. What was the harm in leveling there at least for 60+. You couldn’t do it afk and actually had to play. You would also die alot and have massive repair bills. Nothing like doing the same quests over and over for the billionth time to level your alts, ridiculous as usual from them.

IF it has been nerfed its because it people were selling power levelling at cobalt assembly.
The last few weeks its been locked down by players instant killing everything with a bunch of lower levels afk standing around.
It made the area unplayable for legit players. Happy to see it nerfed.

Dear Bhaal,
They nerf stuff like this because it means you’ll have to spend more time in the game leveling. Time played and all that.
You’re welcome.

I completely agree something needed to be done about that , not sure why 58 and below can use the flying mount. And the insta killing was ridiculous that should be nerfed. Sorry switched character Bhaal
Used to be 2k exp per kill if you’re following a group while solo and tagging, now it’s 150-200
Im sure they believe that but for someone like me, my alts that did not get leveled to 70 will sit there now till the end of the expansion when they make it easy to level up. Where I would have played them the next couple years gearing them up and it would have kept me subbed longer maybe the whole expansion before I got bored and canceled till the next expansion. Been that way for 17 years for me. Sorry switched character Bhaal

No problem on the switching. I agree with you. I think nerfing something that was implemented without good justification and communication is a terrible way to treat your customers. But it seems that like a leopard, Blizzard can’t change their spots.

Bugs everywhere that have gone ignored but a quick hotfix to something that allowed players to get to endgame quicker. Yep. Great priorities.

Wait…
Yea this math checks out.
- Experience granted by enemies associated with the Cobalt Assembly has been greatly reduced.
- Developers’ notes: From the start, the Cobalt Assembly was intended to be a max-level feature, and Sundered Flame enemies should not have granted significant amounts of XP. Having a max-level player kill enemies while in a party with lower-level players who stand around and do nothing but receive XP and reputation is not the sort of gameplay we wish to encourage. We’ve adjusted the XP rate, rather than removed it completely, to encourage players to level in more fun, interactive ways, while still leaving this as an option that is no longer the best option.
Buy boosts plebs

SEVEN WEEKS … for a “hotfix.”
It’s hard to take the sincerity of this at face value. Although I am glad they finally did it.
I think they should let people powerlevel their friends here and in old dungeons again. Powerleveling is fun, and they can powerlevel you back

What if people found this method to be fun and interactive? Clearly the OP does.
