I heard they are still selling runs due to an exploit. No idea if its true but the spam in trade is still real.
People who have had their experience locked since Legion are unnaffected by this change. Also, people like me who had a GM revert them back a level and lock exp for them are unnaffected as well.

Sorry if this was answered already but do we know if this affects low level twinks as well?
Some of these replies make me really sad ![:frowning:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/frowning.png?v=6" ":frowning:")
This is one of around 10 twinks I play but I donât sell carries, I donât ruin peoples groups, hell I havenât even queued a BG in probably 5 years. I know twinks can make things unfair to others but gearing up low level characters is one of the few things that have kept me playing for a very long time. In MoP I used to queue dungeons as an 80 twink just for the fun of it, 99.9% of groups loved their dungeons going nice and fast, and the tiny minority that didnât I happily obliged and either respecced or used less busted gear.
Iâm not defending this âisland carryâ stuff because I honestly donât even know how it works, I only just resubbed yesterday. But please know that some of us play twinks just to have fun, not to ruin things for you!

I think the original solution combined with the latest solution would have been a much more intelligent way to handle this.
Solution 1: XPlock doesnât work above 110.
Solution 2: XPlock reduces exp for everyone in your group
Combined: XPlock at 110 or above reduces exp for everyone in your group.

That would definitely be much better! I can understand Blizzard wanting to do something if twinks are really disruptive to the main game at a certain bracket. But in âfixingâ this problem they ruined the fun for so many people who werenât even doing anything wrong. I think your idea makes much more sense.
For the LFG selling spam, I totally agree.
LFG tool isnât for selling OR for recruiting.
I feel the thing that baffles me is that blizzard merged the brackets of expoff/on together again in legion with the introduction of stat templates and making twinks not as much of an advantage as before. The question i pose is, why doesnât blizzard just add the option to use a stat template again, as an exp off only option? I mean, you would que up in exp off, it would as if you wanted a stat template, yes or no, and using a stat template would cause the ques to merge with exp on/off. Not adding the stat template would separate the ques. I mean, this just leads to having more options for low lvl pvp. You have the option for decent que times if you are a nooby twink, and the fixed twink ques for an experienced twink. This seems like an amazing solution. I mean you cant even twink pvp now because the ques are to long.
it was their brilliant idea to put level scaling into the game, so is this not just innovative and/or clever use of game mechanics.

They need to just merge them. Twinking is inevitable. Hopefully next expansion will fix it
we know they wonât
They had a successful run in legion and blizzard merged brackets for expon/off with the addition of stat templates. So why not just add stat templates back into the game as an exp off option to merge ques again? You would also have the option to turn the stat template off in xp off, which would separate the ques. The nooby twinks would be able to que with levelers, the hardcore twinks would be able to que amongst themselves, and the exploitation and griefing twinks would have to choose or go away. I dont see a problem with a change like that. Whether it gets added remains to be seen, but we did have merged expoff/on brackets in legion, so maybe sometime down the road. I thought that merge would never happen in the first place, but it did. Caught alot of people by surprise.
