Live Developer Q&A - Ask Questions Here!

Many of us have spent a lot of time building out characters to play in non-level capped battlegrounds, and the re-segregation of XP On and XP off brackets came as a surprise.

Can you please let us know if you have any long-term plans to address the inherent balance issues that could allow re-integration? The XP Off community would gladly help in identifying problematic items or practices that would make re-integration not only possible, but enjoyable for all parties.

Namely, specific items and enchants don’t appropriately scale and some minor, specific hotfixes could bring players closer together. Additionally, improved battleground gear drop rates and potential to add pre-made enchanting scrolls to token vendors would further normalize the XP on vs XP off experience. As shown with 8.1.5, minor changes such as adjusting Rammstein’s Bolts has been very impactful.

It troubles me deeply that many players are moving into the Level 20 bracket, which requires the subscription to lapse in order to queue with the XP on bracket. Strategically unsubscribing is not what I’d like to do, particularly as I prefer several of the other brackets.

Thank you for taking the time to address the community.
