I’m not talking about the pet bosses scaling to the level of the pets I use.
I used to just breeze my way through the Deadmines from the point where the Mining Monkey blasts through to door to the Lumbering Oaf that blocks my way to the ship. The Monstrous Parrots that fly around the docks are still there, and I used to one-shot them sometimes for my own amusement as I went through it. They were only around 30th level.
Right now, I’m in the Deadmines with my 57th level Warlock and the Monstrous Parrots are have all scaled to 57th level. And instead of avoiding me, they’re actually attacking me!
As an aside, I’ve been encountering this weird scaling when I use my Blood Elf Warlock in places where it just shouldn’t exist, or at least not scaling to my level. On this same Blood Elf Warlock, I was in Draenor, about to engage Cymre Brightblade in a pet battle. (I still go to Draenor to level pets sometimes.) And I was attacked by a 57th level Wasp.
But when I look at the ubiquitous trash mobs in the area, they all capped at 40th level. I was also attacked by a 57th level Hawk when I was about to challenge Ashlei.
Is anyone else seeing this, or am I just losing my marbles?
ETA: They respawn, too. If I wait long enough. And they give experience when I kill them. Since I’m close to leveling, I’m going to keep on killing them.
Done. I just levelled. They give 540 XP each.
