This should absolutely be running until DL launch. Not sure what Blizzard is thinking, other than losing out on some boost sales.
Really sad if that’s the reason.

Too much sweets will ruin our dinner.
I’m fine with it. Got my alt from 1 to 49 and I’ll get her up to 60 and KSH before season 4 is over.
Yeah I know how long it takes to do the normal stuff, I was specifically asking the person who said they leveled 50 to 60 by doing the Torghast daily each day.
I just noticed I said “food” in my post. I didn’t set food in there. I set foot in there. That’s my bad LOL
I don’t remember honestly. It gives basically an entire level with the XP buff running. 10 days? I wasn’t paying attention. It was a great way to casually finish leveling them up without actually having to play through shadowlands.

The only bad thing about the Timewalking this round was getting the train. My last run of it was with a group that stood in bombs all the time (multiple mass-rez before even reaching the cannon boss). The cannon boss they insta-died because they stood in the mortar… then he bugged out like mad. That was the only downside to the timewalking though - otherwise it was great healing through it

The XP buff is literally the only thing going for me currently as someone who hates raiding. There’s nothing for people like me in this patch otherwise, so I’ll just let my sub expire in 10 days. Good going Blizz.

oh my bad well the info is there for any one else who wants to level fast lol 
Gotcha, so without the XP buff maybe 20 days? I burned out of Choreghast in S1 and have avoided it like the plague since than. So have never looked at it since they made it available to 50’s.

I’m so disappointed in Blizzard this week. Hats off to the devs working on some of the classes and specs, like hunters and rogues, for doing an amazing job at communicating and actually taking into account community feedback.
On the other hand, who ever is making the decisions to end the 50% XP buff, switch the Slimecat mount, and nerf the Soar speed, you are a huge source of bitterness in the players. You specifically target things that are FUN. You are so disconnected from this games player base, and I wonder if its intentional or just such a high level of naivety. EVERY SINGLE REASON that has been given for these decisions leave me wondering about the way this persons brain functions.
No one prepping for season 4 would bother to level a fresh character. The reasons for Soar nerf simply do not exist, and even if they did, they’d be out out classes by numerous other classes mobility and utility. Limiting the Slimecat mount to normal, which isn’t going to bother me as I’m in a guild who won’t have issues, is just being crappy for no reason.
Let your players and customers have fun. It’s a video game. Fun is the entire point.

I’m still working on some classic toons for Wrath and the prepatch there. I will likely unsub once that’s all done though. So only one more token for a month sub they’ll get out of me.

Geeze, they said at the outset it was a temporary buff that would last until season 4 started.
Give you people an apple and you expect the whole damn orchard.
Whoever this company has incharge of community relations and PR needs to be let go and replaced immediately. I don’t know how they can do much worse short of another scandal like we had last year.

They could have had an easy win just by continuing what they were already doing, but in true Blizz fashion, they like tripping over their own feet.

Probably new players who started recently or people who are rerolling and using season 4 to gear up their new main.
You explained that perfectly, I don’t think it’s out of malice, either. It’s also silly because if their ultimate goal is player retention/metrics, it seems obvious to you, me, and other people that being able to get Slime Cat in LFR, extending the XP buff, etc are ways to boost player retention/metrics, too. So it doesn’t even make any sense to make these changes if they’re just purely staring at metrics and nothing else.
It is like you said, they need some different views on this, because it sounds like they’re trapped in a bubble not able to see the very obvious forest for the trees right in front of them that everyone can clearly see.

What is is about “temporary buff until Season 4 starts” that you people don’t understand?
Its always about money. Dont forget one of the key selling features for pre-order is a level boost to the current cap. By having a boost even lasting the whole patch it takes away one of the core incentives for people to buy the $70 pack.
Meanwhile, as pointed out in your linked thread classic had theirs extended.
If an XP buff is all that was keeping you playing then it’s probably time to move onto something else.

Yeh, except that was it for open world players.
