So blizz is breaking leveling and group finder with twinks

Someone in my group said twinks are getting a debuff that lowers exp gains by 95% for everyone else who doesn’t have it off in groups…

So let me get this straight: Blizz is breaking the whole system of lfg, all because they don’t want twinks poweleveling people in freehold? More than likely to coerce people into buying a $60 boost in the shop. What a stupid design decision. That means low level griefers can keep quening as a tank with exp off and no one will get exp in dungeon finder. So dumb. Going back to PoE and canceling my sub,

I thought the same at first but there’s a Blizzard blue post out there that says they aren’t going to put that debuff on you in random queues, it’s only if you pre-join someone with their experience off to begin with to stop pre-mades from powerleveling with twinks. A twink could still carry a group if they join with them randomly, though, if they aren’t getting paid for it that’s a lot less likely.

I’ll see if I can dig up the blue post.

edit:

Here you go:

Exclude the twinks from normal que if this change goes through

This won’t happen. The change only affects groups that manually invite player characters who have XP off. There is no impact on players who find themselves automatically grouped by the matchmaker while doing PvP or Group Finder dungeons. This change also doesn’t affect anyone who has turned off XP for their own benefit, such as plundering old raids while keeping their level low enough to use their Aggramar’s Stride boots.
