I’m not going to read this sea of posts, but I’m curious, does Chromie Time give the Chromie rep from Dalaran? I forgot what it’s called…
The friend stuff, going towards Time Lord title?
Nope.
It’s basically “entire xpac with scaling, except that you hit 50 after a zone or two and lose the scaling.”

That’s a shame–thanks!
From what I am reading, its seems possible this is unintended and is in fact bugged. I guess time will tell.
They don’t want people to play endgame in old content. People used to do that, but devs wanted them to rush to end game to improve the content success metrics. Old expansion end content is currently tuned so players at the appropriate level will find it difficult or impossible to complete, while max level players who go back to do it as trivial content won’t notice the changes.
Use party sync, turn on chromie time on an alt on a free2play account.
use party sync with a dummy account. Turn on chromie time on a level 10+ toon.
Which is the exact scenario that would ensure I DON’T make new characters or engage in Chromie Time. If the MO is “You get to play this character where you like for 5-10 hours, then they’re in the same boat as the rest of your max level armada”, then I just have zero desire to add to the pile of 50s I’ll have. If Shadowlands is the only place for a level 50 to engage in gameplay, then that prevents me from wanting more > less value to my account > less play time.

No. Chromie Time is more like MC Hammer after he bought the $22 miilion house and threw all that money at his friends, broke. 
It would be really nice for those of us who want to be able to go back and have a more challengy open world to be able to chromie time regardless of level(exp cuts off at 50).
As long as it’s optional for everyone I don’t see an issue. One-shotting mobs is not fun when you want to do loremaster. But if I want to go farm that raid mount, I just simply turn it off.

that would be fantastic. plz do blizz
Honestly, if they don’t make Chromie time possible as I imagined it (and, based on comments of what was envisioned by Blizzard), I don’t see myself spending much time leveling alts to 50.
Just enough to get heritage armor sets, really.
The Legacy xpacs have been pretty much purged (e.g., no legendary cloaks/rings/followers for MoP and WoD; no artifact abilities in Legion), so without being able to experience the full (remaining) legacy content, you’re just seeing one or two zones.
It’s like Blizzard doesn’t want people playing in old zones. 
I have 13 level 120 characters. They can all go back and one-shot content up to Legion. After a few months, BfA content will be the same (being SL level 60).
I can’t see being interested in adding another dozen alts to the endgame grind. It’s hard enough for me to break away from my main.
So without something to see in old content, why would I bother leveling another?

yeah ill level up a few for the covenant campaigns i want but after that? yeah no alts
I thought half of the point of chromie time was so players that may have missed an expansion could go back and enjoy it. Booting them immediately if they hit 50 seems like the exact wrong thing to do. Just do what most MMORPGs do, keep us scaled at 50 and either eliminate or drastically reduce XP gain from those areas, but let the people that want to play through and enjoy it do so.
Personally, I’ve played since vanilla off and on but there’s still a couple of expansions I would love to go back and replay. Not to mention never having done them from the alliance PoV. There’s no reason to not make the old content relevant and enjoyable again instead of just a speedrun for achievements.

The simplest solution would be for Chromie to pop up when you hit 50 and ask if you want to continue playing in Chromie time for no exp or move on. Make it a choice.
