[News] Gain the Winds of Wisdom 100% Experience Buff

thanks i came back to game recently but i have to decline your offer as in these times of trouble i will not be sparring anymore money to buy your latest expansion so I can not take part in your supposed boost nice try at a sales gimmick glad corporate greed still alive and well in these times of trouble.

Now if we could get mech/naz exp to go along with this thatā€™d be greeeeeat.

What about WoW Classic? are we not deserving of the buff?

Well, it would seem the majority, and a clear majority at that, disagree with you. And not to be ā€˜witchyā€™, but if the end game in your opinion is garbageā€¦ why do you even play? And why would you want anything extra? But thatā€™s just an opinion and thought based on the comments.

The exp buff is much appreciated. Thank you!

Because Legion has been rolled into a subscribed account.

You canā€™t have an account with just MoP or WoD any more.

They are saying that starter accounts, account with game time and not BfA, and accounts with game time and BfA all get the bonus.

A fair assessment. The boost to leveling itself isnā€™t inherently bad a thingā€¦ but I think itā€™s unnecessary (thereā€™s ample sources of XP) and addressing the wrong issue. Still, I guess for some people it is providing an incentive to do some leveling content; maybe itā€™s something they wouldnā€™t have done otherwise without being prodded/suggested by this announcement.

Iā€™m trying to make a point to dispel the myth that the endgame is the only thing ā€œworth playing forā€, especially in its current form.

Leveling doesnā€™t need much fixing, the biggest issues seem to be:

  • Thereā€™s currently ā€œtoo muchā€ of it with several expansions worth of stuff to doā€¦ which is debatable, and comes back to the idea that it gets in the way of the endgame.
  • You end up out-leveling the content before youā€™re completed it, which has been partially addressed. The boosted XP is probably going to put this back where we were before.

The massive 100% boost to leveling XP just seems to serve only one practical purpose ā€“ accelerating people towards the endgame, which is currently in shambles and needs some MAJOR fixes. Boosts to reduce the associated grinds with those endgame systems would be band-aids at best, but would still be helpful in some regard.

If it was an incentive to do more leveling, a more modest boost would have been appropriate. 50% at most, probably better to go with 25%.


At the end of the day, I want WoW to be a good game.

But the recent trends seem to be systematically dismantling the rest of the game to support over-glorified endgame and push them more and more towards it.

Kaivax, for classic would be something like this?

I appreciate it.
Now about those bonus extra TP points . . .

Hey everyone! Remember your insightful rubelite!!! :smiley:

Since no one answered when I asked, yes, it stacks with the Monk EXP Buff.

So on a monk, you can have +200% exp with heirlooms and the buff.

I agree totally.
What is totally boring about Vision is the set timers and yes the low rewards for leveling up everything you need to get to that great Boss is the lamest raid-dungeon crawl ever.

Aaah, 3 stages that take hours if nobody knows all the exactly corrector pecking order of taking down the boss or is it the add-ons or the corruptors minions.

Do or donā€™t attack those when the boss is turning around looking northā€¦be on the south side then?
How fricking lame is all that crap instead of a straight on attacking boss one time and end of stupid multi-layered boss fights that take hours??

As far as Visions go it is your basic Rep-riding-simulator with a TIMER???
To all you fan-boys & girls who are thanking blizzard?
Wake-up it is a lame substitute for creating actually game content that follows a real story lineā€¦same with dungeons that take us back to World of Waiting again.
Waiting at least one hour to get into lame boss fight.
enuf already blizzard.

Oh wait new owners want to destroy Wow just like all the other games they buy up and destroy?

does this work for Classic?

So far, it looks like EVERYTHING is stacking. Looms, the draught, rested, and guild bonus. Havenā€™t quested, so Iā€™m unsure on war mode, but I did manage 10 levels in 2.25 hours on a fresh 20 MG (no rest).

I donā€™t usually level alts since I really only have time to keep up my 2 main toons, but with this I think I might finally level up my Dark Iron Dwarf and get that heritage armor. TY BLIZZ FOR DOING THIS TO GIVE EVERYONE A BIT OF A PICK ME UP!

Keep your XP and get rid of this God forsaken Legendary Cloak questā€¦ What happened to ā€œIā€™ve seen this story already (Skip)ā€ā€¦ Give me a break.

Leveling is as near as dull as knowing weā€™ll have to jump through 100 hoops per toon before weā€™re even remotely viable.

There seems to be a lot of people who are enjoying this. Just because you donā€™t want to make use of it doesnā€™t mean others wonā€™t.

If that is the way you feel about the game right now, maybe you should take a break from it.

it is a bonus because of the world circumstances right now, it isnā€™t intended to ā€˜fixā€™ anything. Just give people who are at home something to do.

Thank you Blizzard, Iā€™ve started up the warrior I wanted to make once Shadowlands had begun :slight_smile:
