Blizzard has the plans to bring a Level Squish which makes all Endgame to Level 60.
Are you for the Level Squish - Or against it?
Against. It’s just a new coat of paint that solves nothing on it’s own. And anything that would be done in addition to the level squish could be done more easily without having to deal with any problems caused by the squish.

Doesn’t really bother me either way in terms of just the number.
A bit wary to see what leveling looks like in terms of regions vs their respective level ranges, how long any given level takes, if there’s changes done to heirlooms, etc.
I don’t really care, I get use to it whatever it is…
though the though it squishing expansion zones gonna feel weird. 60 is too low to drop with the amount of content (Yes, it exist) in this game.
How will I be able to solo the old raids?
Seems pretty meaningless to me. It’s just a number. Being 120 or 60 doesn’t change much at all.

Against. Considering the 120 Character boost are on their way, I highly am dubious that a level squish is coming.

The legacy buffs will still be in place
They don’t have plans as far as know. Discussing it sure, but nothing confirmed yet.
For me, I’m 100% all for it. I think we have too many pointless levels right now. Reducing it would let them restructure things to be a more meaningful better experience for new and old players alike. All we lose is our level number goes down, which really doesn’t matter anyways.
I am more concerned than for or against it. Considering their track record on stat squishes and problems they still have with the existing level scaling, I am more concerned that there will be some serious “bumps”.

I don’t see the point of it honestly.

I don’t think we are getting “level squash” more like a progression adjustment. Because if they squashed the level and not make any other changes, it will do more harm then good.
As long as it doesn’t mess up Legacy content, I’m mostly indifferent. The problem is classes are so barebones that there isn’t 120 levels worth of gains. I’d be down for squishing it IF they can fill out levels better.
I’d be thrilled if they went through and added like one ability from each talent line as baseline, scrapped a few talents, then took what was left and made the old talent trees that had a choice between a couple of talents as you leveled. So, you can appease the people that like getting 1% extra stat since they get them per level while also having some bigger talents and customization by having a spot that lets you choose between a couple of talents.
If they just reduce the number and don’t bother fixing the dead levels or classes, then don’t even bother squishing levels.

I’m concerned after what I saw in the Legion PTR stat squish like Kael’thas Sunstrider base Fireball ability suddenly hitting me for about 100k-150k damage when I only had about 40kish HP at the time. Blizzard did fix it, but a level squish requires more work and more things can go wrong that could take much longer to fix.

Number is irrelevant to me. Whether max level is 60, 120 or 1000, I don’t care.

I’m all for it.
Don’t see how it fixes the underlying problem of the leveling experience being completely irrelevant and ultimately not very engaging. But I’m not against it entirely. Soon to be 8 expansions worth of content that left almost nothing interesting about them in tact to focus entirely on the next expansion endgame. Its a waste…
But if your going to ignore the massive open world that could be a huge part of the game fun to play and explore, making it less relevant to blow through to get to the good stuff is preferable to nothing.

Against it because it doesn’t bring any solutions to the game.
Without a full talent revamp, I am unconvinced the squish will do anything positive for the game. The potential for broken stuff outweighs the potential upsides.

I’m not apposed to the squish but there is some confusion. Everyone is thinking that level 120 will be the new 60… it’s not, right? We will be leveling 50 to 60 in the new expansion. So, it’s technically, level 120 will be the new 50?
