Lunar Festival EXP/Gold nerf with level Squish

Community General Discussion

You used to be able to get a bit of gold for visiting the elders and like, a small value quest exp, but with the level squish this isn’t the case anymore for a level 50-60 character. I get all of 35 silver for visiting the elder. I used to enjoy getting a level from holiday quests over an expac on a neglected alt, so the 500 exp for it now is also a real downer.

These are once a year events, they should be evergreen and scaled with level.

Pet battles also got hit by this, and the Darkmoon Faire quests. It’s all quite disappointing.

Yes. They’re insisting we level in their boring zones.

Yuck. Thanks for the PSA. Now I know I won’t have to waste my time on it.

It’s too bad I’m working on leveling an alliance toon through shadowlands now. I’ll top off the darkmoon buff and just farm herbs and ores I guess.

Yeah. I am leveling a no kill character, so that was a disappointment that they have so many fewer options now. They can’t even intro skip Shadowlands to get to the flowers and mining nodes!

I was hoping my mage could take a break and get me another heirloom token, but alas, looks like it’s slogging through another level and a half of Shadowlands. He had to bail on the intro because he outleveled Maldraxxus. I wish Threads of Fate was at least partitioned into chunks, so you could skip ahead a chapter to at least redo areas you rarely need to get into, like Revendreth for a bit of variety. If I’m past the level threshold for the story mode, it’s not as if I’d be in danger.

FFS, nerfing the gold and xp from holiday events?! They really don’t want us to have anything in this damn game.

Farming materials in SL would have gotten you better gold with the same hours you’d spend on the elders TBH

Oh after the changes no that wouldn’t be worth your time. Gathering/mining does scale better than before for experience but almost everything else doesn’t.

People are pretty lazy and they don’t collect those coins. I sell the pets every year for at least 25k each.

I like doing them for exp and the tokens because while I am in flight I can get other things done. It’s usually pretty chill and I can only do it once a year.

Given what the person above me said, maybe I should have bought more pets.

It’s the same thing with the Hallow’s End pets. Not the dumb pumpkin, can’t get rid of that thing for 5g. The cats and Naxxy. I sold a bunch for 25 to 30k each because most people are too lazy to go collect candy.

They will probably create a reason to not do the Love is in the Air Event. Maybe lower the droprate for the Love Rocket.

Would anyone even notice?

Fun detected!

I’m pretty sure they are going to spoil that by requiring you to be level 60 to have a chance at the mount this year instead of within the current expac leveling range.

Not even worth doing considering all of the Cosmetic pieces are event only items. Would be worth it if they finally unlocked those mog pieces and made them available all year.
