Make Patch Zones Leveling Zones

Folks, you’ve done some excellent work giving us lots of options for leveling, as well as giving us fun meta-achievements to work on while we go! But something important is being left behind: patch zones.

There is some amazing content in patch zones. Excellent stories, easter eggs, collectible content, achievements - but once we move to the next patch, we don’t go back, because our max levels are onto the next thing, and our leveling characters can’t go there. There are so many zones from the last few expansions that I would love to spend time in while leveling alts - Nazjatar, Mechagon, Korthia, Zereth Mortis, the Emerald Dream, Zaralek… these places have so much to offer, and I feel like I was only able to experience a fraction of what I wanted to. All your other zones scale; is there something holding you back from making these zones scale as well?

It breaks my heart that due to life stuff, I missed the entirety of the Siren Isle period and most of the Undermine period so far - I just haven’t had time to enjoy them, and by the time I do, I’ll get behind on the next thing. If I knew I could just bring my little noob goblin to level in Undermine during the next expansion, I wouldn’t worry!

Agreed. There are a lot of non-campaign quests in Undermine. I can’t wait to do them… in Midnight when TWW is in Chromie Time and I get something other than gold and a pittance of rep for them.

That sounds great I would like to level up my snazzy little goblin in undermine

It seems so odd to me that Blizzard has been talking a lot about making things Evergreen, but then keeps making zones with no intent to scale them so we can actually use them later for more than smash farming the collectibles and achievements if we have a spare moment.
