Stealth nerf to raid XP

So,
First blizzard nerfs farming dungeons for gold, using only player utility and class identity, under the guise of ‘stopping bots and boosters’. Completely destroys an entire avenue of gameplay for people who enjoy that sort of thing. Awesome. Thanks.

Next, Blizzard nerfs an experience farm in kara with no exploits involved, just classes utilizing their abilities, and then doesn’t even include it in the patch notes. Just silently removes the ability for warlocks, druids, paladins, and warriors(and people grouping with them) to level up the way they want to.

Paying 15 dollars a month to be told exactly what i can and cant do inside a ‘free’ ‘open world’ ‘adventure’ game. Thanks. Why not just put everyone in a hallway with 1 door that requires 15 dollars to enter?

Blizzards new motto - Play the game how we want you to or else we’ll just take it out.

I agree they should spend less time ruining the fun parts of the game and more time fixing there bugs and addressing there apparent bot issues

ngl it’s pretty cringe, doing some of the pulls we were doing in there as a 5 man was a lot more fun than anything else

Blizzard is Anti-Fun. The community discovers something cool and blizzard removes it without hesitation.

I don’t normally post on here, and i’m usually very against complaining about things in an open forum. But this one is really unbelievable to me. not only does farming inside kara hurt no one else in the world, but it in fact helps ppl trying to quest by reducing the number of people in the world. If i want to farm a dungeon with my boys to get xp why should i not be allowed? this has deflated all excitement i had to play wrath. i resubbed just to farm and level with my homies and now i have no drive at all. RIP my $15/month

This is so silly they nerf a perfectly fine 5 man group exp farm that any classes can do but leave very specific classes being able to solo wrath 5mans like Utgarde Keep as warlock warrior or prot pally at equal or higher rates such a joke.

GOOD! Play the game experience the world quit living inside dungeons. Better for everybody if people would just play the game as intended instead of being a bot inside a dungeon.

It was only that for a full bis warrior soloing it this change messes up people that were 5man farming it in between other resets I assume you would be fine them nerfing all the other broken solo farms too then?

If only there was actual interesting content to do in the world rather than 15 year old mindless “kill x creatures” quests over and over and over again.

Leveling up is a pointless barrier to entry to the game, and is just a holdover from more traditional rpgs where leveling was paced with the games content, and where the game ended when you hit max level and beat the final boss, rather then starting the grind toward the final boss.

On the other hand, its 15 year old content managed by probably one of the worst video game companies on the current market, so I can’t say im surprised in the slightest

To be fair, this is not a nerf but a bug fix. Raids are not meant to give EXP.

Raids have been giving xp since classic… clearly not a bug

Mobs in 5-man instances give slightly more XP, but mobs in most raid instances give no XP. Raid instances that DO award XP include Upper Blackrock Spire and Zul’Gurub.

Pretty sure this was nerfed back before wrath launched back in ‘08.
