Pretty sure we are needing this yet again stats already out of control even when they just did it recently they need to learn to not keep scaling things so horribly thoughts?

They already said they will be doing it in Midnight.

I’m kinda hoping either the leveling system is deleted, or we all go back to level 1.
I wouldn’t mind the grind again if we’re given a unique zone with TONS of content. And the feel of getting to max level feels actually rewarding.

We went from ~35k dps to ~200k dps in the same expansion. I don’t think the devs care because they can just slap a stat squish. It’s stupid because it just makes your character feel weaker and weaker every time they do it.

They need to completely change the system so squishes are never needed.

We never needed it to begin with.

I don’t know how they’d do that. Rewards in general would need a ground up redesign. Item level as a stat would have to go kinda out the window.
Exponential growth systems need to be curbed. If we hadn’t had the stat squishes, we’d be doing septillions of damage at this point.

If they do anymore squishes I’m uninstalling WoW permanently.

I’m all for it. Squishes mean lower repair bills, too.

A long time ago someone posted a very large piece about a permanent solution for it. It was a very good idea but it would definitely require a big coding change.
Funny story. Back when Cata first released I deleted my max level Kaz and redid him again from the ground up for Cata experience. Lore wise I wanted to say that during the Cataclysm he suffered a grievous injury that took time for him to recuperate and when he finally could get back on his feet a lot of his strength and power was gone so he built himself back up.
Remarkable stupid but I was young.

Which personally bothers me so much, like… in the middle of the World Soul Saga? Why not like… end it on 60 in the Last Titan, or just keep going.

They did say at Blizzcon that there will likely be a stat squish in Midnight, but not TWW
At this point, I say stat squish every xpac so we don’t get comfortable.
In the last squish, they screwed with TW twinking and MT gear for the sake of it, knowing perfectly well it was it’s own long term mini-game to target and work towards with communities and discords around it.
If you look at the graphs of the scaling change they made, it dips right under where old MT gear was bis, and now that gear is crap. When they could have just bumped up that low end of the graph to after ilvl 50 or whatever it was; but oh that’s right, we’re not allowed to find fun in the game the way blizzard doesn’t intend. 
At max level, if you just give the expectation that there’s a stat squish every xpac which is a great milestone, it really feels like a new slate- there’s never a weird area where numbers are ridiculously high, or our secondaries are silly by season 3 of 4 seasons.
It was a good idea. Well then it will never happen .
