Will the buff be increased again? Leveling 50-60 is awful
It’s awful? You can do hinterlands and faralas incursions twice each over two days and be 53 and a half, without boss kills or gathering quests. With those you could be 54.
Then you can do BRE dailies everyday for 50-75% of a level depending on your current level, takes 30 min. Not to mention you already have a 50% exp increase for 50-60. It’s really not bad at all.

Nah, it’s pretty bad.
I have 9 characters, 6 of them are still at 50 because 50-60 sucks. I got 1 to 60 because it was my main, the other I was able to watch TV while doing mind-numbing BRD runs as a healer.
Dude, maybe you shouldn’t have that many characters…
If you want leveling to be an absolute joke that only takes you 30 minutes, retail is right there.
Or they could stick with what was working in prior phases.
Right now it’s basically impossible for me to mentally justify spending time to just LEVEL characters, knowing all of the chores you have to undertake at 60 to take them into raids. If the leveling part was more consistent with prior phases, sure, but as it is, WoW: SoD is basically only a raid-log game for me on my main until they raise discoverer’s delight.
All that said, if it becomes possible to bypass MC and go straight into BWL and avoid all of the heat level / FR chores, I might consider playing something other than my main. Time will tell on that front.
I didn’t time myself, but honestly, I felt like 50-60 was the fastest and easiest I levelled to cap out of any phase.
As Makavelli mentioned, I did it by playing 45m a day over the course of a week. Incursions for the first few levels, then BRE for the remainder. You’re basically put on a conveyer belt.
They’ve improved this by making Ony attunement account-wide but what else is there to expect? There’s only so much you can do before making “levelling” alts entirely redundant, and you may as well just give everyone a copy of each class geared with T0.5 once you hit 60.
Classic wow is simply not a game where you should ever have this many characters… it’s not level 25 bracket anymore lol
You took a week to hit 60.
Meanwhile you could go 40-50 in a play session. It’s just not comparable.
A week of playing 30/45m a day - so probably some 5-7 hours total. And yeah, I remember facerolling incursions for about four/five hours straight one night to hit cap.
It probably was slightly better XP per hour but the end result was pretty comparable, in the grand scheme of things.
I had 3 60 Shaman, a 60 Rogue, and a 60 Lock back in the day during Vanilla WoW. It’s just back then you could be a greaseball kid going to school. We’re adults with real jobs, not burger-flipping kids anymore. Whole point of Classic+ is for Vanilla to keep up with the changes in life.
Previous phases were doing it, seems wasteful to ruin momentum by making the game less alt friendly.
Why on earth would they increase it ? it’s plenty as it is…If you can’t level with the already INSANE boost to exp then I’m not sure you should be leveling anymore alts. Hope you have a great day Kyuubee 
50-60 is already faster than it needs to be.
50-58: Farm all items you need from BRD, LBRS, Dire Maul, Strat, Scholo (no more than once per day to maximize your reals)
58+: Start the quest to upgrade your dungeon set
You will hit 60 long before you get all of the items that you want from reals/dungeons.
