I think we can all agree that the levelling process at the moment could use work; if it didn’t there wouldn’t have been so many people eager to exploit a levelling bug.
So, I just wanted to make a place where people could put forth some ideas for how to fix/ease the system of levelling into something where everyone can be happy.
In my opinion, the best way for both parties to be happy would to create a weekend/weeklong exp boost event for characters lower than level 100 - this event would be very similar to the rep boost event, and would come around maybe once or twice per month + give a 100% or higher exp bonus for its duration.
I know it’s nothing huge, but it would give people who are looking to level new toons a good window of time to level should they prefer, since the grind from 1-120 can be particularly daunting and is keeping many people from starting.
That’s it for me, I’d like to see what ya’ll think/come up with, if you agree/disagree, and just the community’s overall thoughts on the subject ![:slight_smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
I went from 110-120 on my Rogue without leaving Zul’dazar.
My “Ding” quest was rezzing Rastakhan.
But maybe something like what Recruit a Friend does, but for yourself would be nice.
Say every 3 levels you gain, you can send one to an alt, up until the current expansion level. I know I have a bunch of 70,80,90 toons that I’d like to play but I really CBF doing all those levels again, for the 40th time.

I like that - it helps to reward the people that invest in levelling several characters by making future characters a little less tedious + lets them potentially skip content phases they’ve already experienced but don’t enjoy.

I mean the only person you’re gimping by going 1-110 on “bonus” levels is yourself. Maybe add in a Gold Sink of 5,000-10,000g for some 110 appropriate gear.
There are heirlooms and potions to make leveling faster. Plus rest XP.
Other than Vanilla, I never made it to the end of the expansion before hitting the level cap and that was with only rest xp as my “boost”.
Now I can cap out before finishing the second zone of a given expansion. In Warlords if I gather all the treasure in the zone I can hit 100 before finisihing all the quests in the start zone.
How fast is fast enough?
Well personally I dont see an issue with the current 100-120 levelling rate, I’d focus strictly on 1-100 since its such a huge levelling gap before you reach relevant content
Really the only thing wrong with leveling at the moment is the story and timeline. It was completely broken with Cataclysm. They could have implemented it properly with the awesome phasing tech they have but no… They had to mess up the world and destroy the story.
it takes on average 3 days to level from 0-120 how much faster do we need it to be?
I mean, most people take much longer than that - if they didn’t, there wouldn’t have been so many people exploiting the exp potion bug. Even blizz acknowledges that the levelling process is kind of broken rn in terms of pace + reward rate
