Keep Joyous Journeys active permanently. People returning for MoP will actually want to level alts. Keep it active up to 85 so after that when you start leveling in MoP it isn’t active.
(If you kept it active till 90 I wouldn’t be made too though)

Jj will not be needed at the release of MoP they do another xp squish from 1 to 85. It will take a day to level in heirlooms.
Joyous Journeys was fine, and I got a good use out of it, but Discoverer’s Delight is way better. I say bring DD to Classic Cata
Why do Classic players hate playing the game so much?

The best time to level in preparation for Pandaria will be during prepatch. I’ll give you 3 guesses as to what always comes back during prepatch, and the first 2 don’t count
Brother, this is Cataclysm, not Vanilla. Furthermore, it’s the very end of Cataclysm and the population is dropping off once again. 20 minute queues for leveling dungeons.
80-85 feels worse the more times you do it. I only did it with rested and long breaks between levels because farming the same 3 dungeons is tedious.

It should have never went away. Blizzard doesn’t understand how to do incentives. You do them when your game is losing players (now) and not when it’s at its peak popularity.
It’s like restaurants that give lunch discounts at slow hours. They don’t do lunch rates in the evening when they’re busy.

1-60 isn’t that bad. If you do a mix of dungeons and questing, you can do it in anywhere from 1 to 3 days.
60-70 is the fastest leveling in Cata. Bosses in TBC dungeons give more exp than a quest turn in. And if you’re a tank or healer, you can spam these and fly through Outlands in 3 hours or so.
70-80 is a bit slower than Outlands, but still not that bad. Do dungeons once for quests, and then quest in Northrend in between.
80-85 you can dungeon grind, but I don’t recommend it unless you’re tank or heals. And even then, questing is faster 10/10 times.
Leveling in Cata is easy. You don’t need JJ to level.
You already have Joyous Journey in game. It is called Heirlooms. Joyous Journey was a mistake since you all whine so much when it’s gone as if you do not wish to play the game without it. Such backwards af thinking LOL. Do you even like this game or do you suddenly like it when it has an EXP boost?

I’m opposed to retail players coming into play mop in general because you all whine so much for features that you’re used to on retail 90% just wine for the first 6 months I prefer to Blizzard made it harder for your kind to level
Questing was always faster.
lol yes they do. they put it in when a new patch is announced, incentivizing people to come back and level alts to be ready for new content
JJ was a classic feature added during the end of TBC, which then spread to retail. so if anything they are “whining” about a feature from Classic
The point of Joyous Journeys is to prepare new and returning players for the new upcoming content. That’s why it was around for a while leading up to the release of the current patch, and why it’s gone now after the launch of the patch. I don’t think you understand how this works. Sorry you missed it this time around, better luck next time
I’m well aware of what it’s intended for, that doesn’t mean it’s a good decision to remove it from the game and create FOMO. Clearly it’s a feature people were enjoying and the drastic dip in people running dungeons tells me that people don’t want to level without it.
I’m curious, why do you think Season of Discovery have maintained their exp/gold boost for a year and a half without removing it? Wouldn’t you say leveling is more important in SoD than Cata?
It’s a cascading effect. You remove the incentive, the majority stop playing their alts. This makes queue times unplayable and even more stop playing their alts.

FOMO for what? Leveling? You realize you can still level without JJ, right?
Because it’s a temporary season and not a permanent progressive server
Absolutely not
I couldn’t disagree more. That’s the exact definition of FOMO. People rushed to level their alts and when JJ was removed, leveling brackets died off as usual.
Sure, you can level without it, but where is everyone? Have you wondered why nobody wants to level without jj? Perhaps it’s not very fun going through the worst expansion of dungeons multiple times (wrath)
Season of Discovery, despite the name, is not a seasonal server. Unlike Cataclysm, SoD isn’t going anywhere. It will remain in the Phase 8 patch similar as Era servers. Cata however is, is a temporary stay. It will be gone in a few months.
You know, it’s okay to not constantly agree with and make excuses for Blizz when they make bad decisions, right? Just like removing LFR, not making gems more accessible, this is one of many that tells me Cataclysm is not being managed with much concern for what the community wants.

FOMO = Fear of missing out = If you don’t get this now you won’t get it ever
Not only can you still level without JJ, but if JJ is so important to you then come back for prepatch. It’s not gone forever
Doing the new content that just came out that was the entire purpose of JJ leading up to it
Also there are still plenty of people leveling. I’ve hopped on a few lower level alts since JJ was removed and my dungeon queues are still just fine as dps
Yes… I know what it means lol. The servers popping off during JJ and slowly dying after they removed it is FOMO. 20 minute dps queues now vs nearly instant a few weeks ago.
People knew they couldn’t make good progress on their alts without JJ because leveling your alts in Cata is disrespectful of your time.

Sounds like you’re trying to project your personal issues onto the greater community. If you don’t enjoy the game you know you can stop playing it
More like 15 minute dps queues now vs 10 minute queues a few weeks ago
