Lost Motivation After the Exploit — What Are We Even Playing For Now?

The tank meta is a thing, plus there’s a ton of players trying to get in on the mythic+ action. It’s not just about the vers, though that does play a part. I think the tank meta is the biggest issue here. Want to make yourself more noticeable as a dps though? Keep grinding like the rest of us. We’ve got a long time until this event is over. You’ll get there.

Yep 100%!!! I’m approaching Legion remix the same way.

We’re a week into Legion remix. Theres still 3 months left.

Honestly, you should be thankful that other players are 10x stronger because they end up carrying the rest of us through the dungeons & raids faster so we can build up our own power faster. :person_shrugging:

ETA: Remember, there’s a cap on ilv and power. Once the OP people are capped, they’re not getting any stronger anyway.

i am quitting my job because elon musk, bill gates, jeff bezos and few others are billionaires. its not fair.

I work full-time, and I often have to do overtime because of the nature of my job, so I only get a few evenings during the week to play. I tried to complete all the quests in every zone (Suramar was especially time-consuming due to the lag issues in that area). Every day, I did both raids on Heroic and Normal, then Mythic and Heroic whenever I could. I also did the Remix dailies and the Eternus quests whenever they were available.

I didn’t run many Mythic+ dungeons because I was more focused on finishing all the quests. In the end, I’m sitting at 80 Versatility and 704 item level. I didn’t do any farm spots since I was worried Blizzard might nerf them or even penalize players for using them.

Now, I see people carrying full groups through Mythic raids, which makes me feel kind of “left behind.” After finishing all the quest content, it feels like there’s not much left to do. The Eternus missions seem to be releasing three per day, so besides that, all that’s left is Mythic+.

In the end, it seems that after Blizzard nerfed those farm methods, anyone who didn’t reach 200+ Versatility will now have to spend hours grinding Mythic+ just to keep up — probably part of Blizzard’s plan. The real issue is the lack of content once you’ve completed everything; it leaves a kind of emptiness.

This past weekend, I also noticed inconsistencies with loot drops — I got several items with the same item level, not upgrades — but it looks like they’ve adjusted that now. So, another week repeating the same routine: both raids on Mythic and Heroic (which take around 30–40 minutes in a decent group), Eternus dailies, two LFGs, world quests, and Mythic+. Is that really it?

yeah but that’s like you only… most groups arent going to be so kind this early on…

I couldnt join any wbs group on heroic last night (way late for na) because my lock was fresh 80 with an extreme low level weapon due to rng

not everyone will carry people this early and the few they do there’s so much they can do with being locked to lockouts or only 4 people on m+

The carrying isn’t even intentional, it just happens naturally when you have OP people in your group, and it makes the runs go faster. I do not see the problem here.

Not defending the OP but he does have on a mog you can only get from playing LEMIX…:grimacing: :man_shrugging: Ijs…:v:

I’ve completed every zone and worked through every achievement that rewards Infinite Knowledge — grinding dailies, raids, and keys nonstop.

I spent my entire long weekend pushing to 740, believing the steady grind was the right path. Then I found out others were earning over 1.5 million Infinite Power per hour just by farming mobs — completely bypassing the intended progression.

Now I see lower item-level players applying for +40 keys asking for my Versatility and Unbound Power. That’s how far the balance has tipped.

The grind we thought would reward us turned out to be meaningless compared to what some gained in a single afternoon. It’s disheartening, and it’s hard to stay motivated when playing fair feels like falling behind.

I don’t actually care about the exploit since it doesn’t affect me or my gameplay. And since you think I benefited, here is my primary Remix character:

so you abused m+ pushing to hit 740 early and now the entire reason you are losing your mind is there was a better exploit to abuse over the weekend you didnt know about and THATS what got you in a 3 day long toddler tantrum?

it all makes sense now. you just want the exploit YOU didn’t abuse rolled back and it ruined the game but have not said a word about roll backing the ilvl of the people who pushed 700+ gear in m+ before the nerf

actually everything makes sense now. and also why the people calling for the island rollbacks have said not a single word about the m+ gear push that was patched just as fast as the island

i guess the only solution to make it fair like OP has cried about for days is to rollback the island AND revert the ilv to anyone who pushed m+ gear before the nerf back down. i mean fair is only fair right? thats what you’ve been screaming for days and totally not “exploits are fine unless i dont benefit from them.” which is what this is all actually about

I didn’t abuse M+ or any shortcut — I played normally through quests, dailies, raids, and keys, the same way most players would.

A handful of players should not be rewarded for exploiting a certain dynamic to get ahead because that was not the intended way the game should have been played. This isn’t about envy or “missing out,” it’s about consistency and fairness.

Hotfixes have already addressed multiple issues in Remix — including unintended Infinite Power gains — but there’s no sign that the progress from that brief window was ever normalized. That imbalance still exists, and it continues to affect how players experience the event.

All I’m asking for is the same standard for everyone: legitimate effort should matter more than unintended exploits.

As someone who open world farmed elites, there was no exploit.

Let me be clear, we literally were just farming elite mobs for infinite power + the fragmented memento of epoch challenges, which was intended to drop from elites.

This wasn’t a hyperspawning situation or anything like that, it was quite literally just farming elite mobs at their normal spawn rate.

Exploit? WHERE is the exploit?

They saw people getting too much infinite power for their liking from open world farming and nerfed it.

There was no exploit ffs.

If they nerfed it, that means it wasnt intented in their eyes

But this exact thing happened on mop as well people should assume every single version of remix they will release will have an instant no progression system despite the dev’s selling an illusion of it

Farming elites is supposed to be part of Remix. But what was shown publicly was orders of magnitude more than “normal elite farming.”

The farm videos claimed 1–1.5 million Infinite Power / hour, which no one doing just daily quests, keys, and raids is hitting. That’s beyond scaling — that’s a burst exploit.

I did more quests, dailies, keys — exactly what’s intended — not some hyperfarm trick. If you believe the elite loot was always intended to give that much, let’s see the dev notes. Until then, the imbalance is obvious, and corrective action is fair.

I am still enjoying it. I’m not worried about anyone else’s game. I still find it fun and plan to collect almost everything over the next 3 months.

  1. You’re the only one who can ruin said fun for yourself by caring
  2. There’s no fairness in a mode about being absurdly OP
  3. Stop comparing yourself to others
