You lose all progress every time they put out an expansion anyway. It’s a reset and those are needed to bring power creep inline, rebalance the economy, make major mechanical/gameplay changes, etc
foreseeable future? we were at 1000 when they scaled it down, we are already back up to 450. It MIGHT last one more expansion if no level scaling.

Okay, everyone.
Frostbites says no level squish.
Devs, toss the idea, Frostbites has spoken
I don’t mind if there was to be a level squish. To me its not about how fast I level, but how much I feel like I am progressing with “each” level. If we go to level 120 to 60, then I would assume that doing 10 levels now, would be doing 5 levels after the squish. Each level could offer a new skill, talent or something that makes you feel like your getting stronger each level.
As of now, after level 100, you don’t really feel that as far as talents, and even without the talents its worse since I think the last level I gained a skill was around level 80 I think.
A lot of people seem to be under the impression that it will still take the same amount of time to level it will just be a different number. But this isn’t necessarily true. I’m not saying they are wrong just that it wouldn’t have to be the same time. That said, class design is a big issue. The level honestly doesn’t matter to me much. They could add 60 levels, 20 levels, 5 levels, squish us. What matters is what happens in those levels.
Its not taken away, because you (hopefully) enjoyed it. You gonna get mad at them because the heroic gear that you loved from MOP got replaced too? You put hard work into getting that and its utter vendor trash now. Just saying.
If a level squish makes it feel like you accomplish something every time you gain a level, I am all for it. Scaled leveling basically kills leveling anyway.
LFM level 10s for molten core
Thank God forum peeps have some of the worse ideas for this game. BRING ON THE LEVEL SQUISH!!! I embrace it!
If they want to speed up leveling they don’t have to do this level squish. Its just a bad idea. Really gets old constantly losing our power every expansion. Why is it other games older than wow don’t have to constantly squish stats but wow needs to? They use older engines and handle large numbers just fine.
The issue is class design and the overall amount of xp it takes to reach max. They are just going to start another crapstorm with a level squish that will cost them subs in the end. No not saying the game will “End” but its going to be another thing the game don’t need costing them subs.
Yeah, I’m still against a level squish and would actually like to see world scaling go away as well.
They aren’t taking anything away. Just changing the numbers.
Think of it as flipping measuring ruler side from cm to inches.
What does adding more levels add to the experience of playing?
Each level will take way longer to achieve after a squish. This is a fact.
Obsolete content will be more difficult for transmog/mount/achievement hunters. This is a fact.
It would be bizarre for level 10s to be doing Blackrock Depths and Molten Core.
This is precisely why they’re doing it and why it’s necessary.
