We’re doing stockades and they get so little xp, what gives? In classic, this was a really fun way for us to help each other. The levels were fast and it was awesome. Bring back dungeon powerleveling again, at least for actual friends. The main reason I like leveling is because it was going to be easy for us to level even more characters. But now they went against those RMT boosters by punishing regular players? Rude.

The extent people go to… to skip content.
Powerlevel your friend to max level, run 10-15 dungeons to full gear, do raid once, go to forum complaining how there’s no content in Wrath. Even though you skipped 100 hours of leveling on that alt.

They ruined boosting. And gave us this trash dungeon tool instead of actual DF. Don’t worry tho botting is acceptable

Yeah it kinda sucks now, I like to get my alts professions up asap so it’s easier for me to level them, and because I’ve already played to max level. So I’ll run a low level dungeon to get the greens for DE or cloth for tailoring or whatever the case, maybe just get some gear to mail. So since I’m running the dungeons anyways might as well bring along some people that can also benefit with XP and quests and stuff, but now it’s almost pointless it seems.
I think blizzard decided to do this to stop power leveling websites profit, and or, low level gold farming to keep gold sellers form profiting, but they’re going to do it regardless so it seems like the player got caught in the crossfire as usual

Yeah it is very annoying. The RMT people are all happy, gold is like 5 bucks for 1000 or something. Craziness. But I can’t help my friend level up quickly and actually start playing wrath. I’m convinced they did this to sell more level boosts.
That is really nice of you. It’s cool that you do that. I wish it still worked to level up people quickly.
They are literally in content though.
Like what does this even mean, they are in the game with their friends.
Isn’t that what this is about?
Oh wait I get it, they’re playing in a way YOU don’t like and thus it is bad because the level 10 retail forum alt in the LKC forums is the ultimate authority on all things wow.

Standing at entrance while max level kills everything in sight. Yeah, just how it should be.
That’s some proper content.
And even if you decide to just level alts together, ya gotta stay within like 3 levels, or the exp still goes to crap. Had this happen in SFK once, because the dungeon goes from level 19-21 mobs to level 25 mobs halfway through, and we had one level 26 in our group and got like 11 exp per kill for half the dungeon, it was so stupid.

You can still run them through dungeons for gear to help them do dungeon quests and get gear which will make them plow through quests.
Example go run stockades with them and get their quests done. Then do it a few more times for them to get gear from it that will speed up their questing.
Focus on getting physical dps their weapons, casters weapons are still big, but a good chest or legs helps them a lot as well.
You can also funnel them potions and other consumes.

Omg this too. The range is so low, it’s annoying. Maybe I can pop on my level 50 and make the level 40 dungeon a little easier for them, but not solo it. We still group and run the dungeon normally, but surprise! Sorry everyone, y’all are getting like 5 xp!
I agree that this is still a good thing. I’m glad that they didn’t take away the gear and whatnot, but it feels like with the time we spend going through the dungeons, it would be equally fast for them to just level normally. I’m convinced they did this to sell their level boosts: they knew I’d tell all my friends that I could help them level if they didn’t want to buy it.

Everything blizzard does to supposedly kill botting just ends up hurting the actual players, and helps the bots/goldmakers make more money.

Yes, as it should be, because there is no correct way to play in this context.
How YOU do it is of no bearing to anyone else, as long as they are within the parameters Blizzard sets as the extent of player actions, outlined in the TOS and Contract.
Classic Andys love to talk about the social experiences, stopping and smelling the roses, talking to people, well here they are. They are trying to talk, to their friends, in the “social” game, yet you’re big mad about it because it’s not how YOU do it.
I’m sick and tired of listening to you old demented trashcan players dictate to others how they should or shouldn’t play in low level, meaningless, tedium content.
“Then you’ll complain about not having content” my god the arrogance. The sheer fact you even consider Stockades, in Lich King, to be content.
Just shut up. I quite literally do not care about another level 10 retail forum alt opening his mouth.

Leveling for the 20th time is not seen as content for most, so it is not hard to understand wanting to be boosted.
One is not very useful in the MMO sense until 80 anyway.
Me, I just got every alt to 70 during JJ’s.

Blah-blah.
They turned off powerleveling few years ago, they’re not going to go back on that decision.
You being too lazy to level alts is not game’s problem, it’s a you problem.
It was literally this year.
God you’re stupid. Report me. I do not care. Get me away from people who unironically have too many teeth still in their mouth.

You go, king. Tyvm
No, it was around Legion or BFA they made this decision, and they were bit slower with changing it in Classic too. They decided powerleveling isn’t good for their game.
Only because it cuts into their sales of paid boosts.
Classic is limited to 1 to appease purists, but absolutely bet it would be unlimited if they could get away with it.

Misunderstood what they did. They didn’t kill powerleveling to prevent powerleveling, they introduced party sync which allows players to sync together to do content together regardless of level, because levels itself is moot, and the only thing that’s relevant is playing together with people.
I expect nothing less than a mouthbreather to misunderstand the change.
Uh huh.
People who put leveling as “the game” are unironically the worst players I have ever met. The arrogance, the sheer inability to understand the nonsense you spew.
If leveling is so great, then why was it seen as a burden, a barrier of entry.
I know why, it’s because it isn’t. It’s a tedium. The only good part of leveling is the story itself plays out infront of you, but you also don’t need to level to quest for the story, so once again, it’s moot. It’s just a tool used for balance of abilities, and for people to be at an appropriate power level through each zones. Nothing more.
Ignored, I meant it when I said:
We’re done here. Go level nerd. Why are you here. You can level an infinite amount of characters an infinite amount of times. Go, shoo.

Ah yes, the “it’s for the money” tinfoil.
Or could be that leveling is content that relies on other people leveling. I did dungeons along the way to 71 this week, because other people leveled too. Powerleveling kills this, and makes powerleveling a meta. It’s a degenerate practice that they removed. You can keep asking for it back, but doubt they’ll return it.
