Well that explains why I loved the early leveling experience and started to see it become horrible around 77, with 80 need to burn CDs to kill some basic mobs. I thought it was just gear scaling issues but of course not intended. Sad, so many other characters to level still, why does it matter honestly? Most people just want to get through leveling as fast as possible.
Why would they? They are not changing the experience on anything.
If you’re still paying blizz every month and you’re using less resources, they still kinda win.
I told myself I wouldn’t get into anymore internet arguments but hobby shaming is my pet peeve. We are allowed to give things meaning even if others do not vale those things as highly. If someone drained all of your funds from your bank account they could argue its just “digital” currency. Or if you had a family heirloom that got destroyed in a fire I could say “its just an item! who cares!”. The thing itself does not matter. We are allowed to give things as much value as we want despite what others think.

They wouldn’t take the servers down on a Wednesday and hotfix something if the changes weren’t supposed to be significant.
The dust underneath my keyboard has grown in numbers. Send help. SOS.

What is the rush? So you can complain that there is nothing to do?
It’s a dumb change that’s possibly taking all day to implement double the crime double the time 
The one thing I want to notice is after the change does getting hero talents at 71 start to feel noticeable now? Cause before I couldn’t even tell if I gained anymore power at all.
ehhhh it felt super-OP. I’m very casual player but it even got my attention after the Dalaran crash that I was apparently THE hero everyone needed to save the day. I don’t think I even stopped using Whirlwind for that entire sequence.
That said, it was fun.
Sure they would. Are you new to WoW or something?
I mean - if they logged in during pre-patch they have 480 gear from the easy to farm event.
Only someone who ignored everything and logged in on the day had garbage gear - and even then - there’s greens on the AH at the beginning of most expansions.
The problem was the level 70-75 gear was terrible - well below stuff most people came into the expansion wearing.

Hopefully. Some of them are really strong.

this right here, its fun being OP and smashing things while leveling.
we shall see …
I cam back 2 months ago and leveled up one of every class through the radiant echos and with full 480 gear the content in TWW is silly easy as a rule …
I even tried to go after a silver name that was 5 levels higher than me for a challenge (FYI THAT was a BAD idea on my part)
This has to be the most tone deaf and foolish hot fix I have ever seen.
No you haven’t. You may have done the first part, but I highly doubt a majority of players asked you to slow down leveling or make it harder. My bet is you thought, well crap they are leveling really fast and that makes our “time played metric” sad. How do we fix it? I know we make leveling (the most irrelevant part of the game) feel worse than it does now. We’ll make players spend time more time in the worst part of the game where you are waiting to reach max level and play the game as intended.
Here’s some feedback, the way things were was awesome! After going through the campaign one time (so we saw your story). My PvP and Raid groups formed 5 mans and MDI style pounded dungeons into submission. We continually challenged ourselves by making more insane and bigger pulls because it was fun. So what if it was easy and fast…the point was to get alts to max level and have fun. Also, we did it together which helped strengthen the relationship ties needed to sustain an MMO. We were all very pumped about the direction you guys took…and now you are undoing it because what…people level too fast? Let’s have extended MX and downtime to fix something that’s not broken. Well done.

There not going to take away player time to hotfix something on a non patch day unless it was important
You say this, but it seems they enjoyed it for hours leveling multiple alts to 80. Must have been torture

Yep it should have been tuned to ilvl 500 at least. Even fresh character with like 460 gear would still do fine and get upgrades through questing then.
i think this is actually a rare W. leveling was way way way too easy and at 70 with no new year i shouldn’t be mass pulling everything and blowing past all the content. don’t think this really matters IMO.
