I’ve never seen a ‘classic’ iteration where Scarlet Monastery is completely dead (at least on Living Flame). No one is doing dungeons for leveling because they’re stuck doing this stupid bottleneck that the incursions are, because the devs made this event the best xp/hour in the game.
Also I’ve been trying to get my friend to play SoD while carrying him through dungeons and theres a huge XP loss if theres too much level disparity between us. Now I have to explain to him that doing stupid convoluted loops on Ashenvale is the best way to level. Yikes.
ruined in spectacular fashion. this whole season has quickly vindicated all the “no changes” purists from 2019
Incursions singlehandedly destroyed any successes that might have existed in SOD.
A no-combat treadmill that can level you from 25 to 50 while avoiding every ounce of quest or dungeon content, provide you with a 6 piece pre-raid set of gear, a ring, some epics if you’re even more devoted, and over 500g all throughout the same process.
Devs had to literally be on narcotics to think this was a good addition to a Classic platform.
So there’s a rule in SOD: Whatever you thought was bad in this phase, next phase will be worse.
Which only makes me absolutely FEAR what kind of retail garbage they have in store for phase 4.
Couldn’t have said better myself.
