I tried posting this in the bug report forum 10 days ago, but it seems like blizzard doesn’t read that so the only way this will get attention is if I post it here.
There is a power leveling exploit being used by multiboxers to power level people and make tons of gold. I have a video of a player hitting level 50 and going to 51 within 17 minutes and 30 seconds. They advertise that they can do 1-60 in about 11 hours.

fwiw, we usually do that quest like that, with normal non boxed people
just hopping back n forth among the silo things ans spamming as many worms as possible.
It’s always been that way.
Not an exploit but feel free to keep reporting it.
New story tonight at 10! “People upset with multiboxxers!?”

TIL: It’s an exploit if I didn’t manage to take advantage of it.

Thanks for sharing. It doesn’t look particularly efficient, but cool concept.
Guy goes from 49 to 51 in little more than 17 mins.
Everyone in this thread: “Yeah that’s normal.”
Like lol.

Anyone doing it on my server? WTB
I don’t know how they could think this is normal or was ever done at this scale.
I’m looking for this on my server when I get home today thanks for the heads up! New lvl 60 alt here I come

I can’t check due to being at work. I’m assuming this shows it?
There’s bigger issues then an already level 50 getting to level 55 in a day.
Yeah. It shows the how and then watches a 49 level up to 50 and then 51 after about 17 mins.
At this point why do you care? The best part about them doing this is they’re not burning farm spots for other people… they’re generating all of their own mobs.
I’m just jealous because I didn’t think of it.
is it multiboxing like 5 accounts with the software or like a level 60 leveling a level 47?
No its like 20-30 accnts or more all summoning grubs at once and aoeing with the low level hiding in a building nearby.
Mages are able to sell Armory/Cath runs on my server for 5g/zone (10g/reset), and Maraudon for 12g/reset. That’s 50g/person/hr for SM and 60g/person/hr for Mara. If they can get a full group, they’re making 200g/hr in SM and 240g/hr in Mara. For 11 hours of work, they will make 2,000g or 2,400g. I have a poorly-geared (not even pre-raid BiS) that can easily do both of these farms.
When any random mage is able to make this kind of income, I really don’t see a problem with someone who is paying $300+/mo in subscription fees finding a niche for themselves in the game to make a bit of gold.
