This prepatch event sucks for leveling

Pretty much the title.

Trying to level a rogue for a number of reasons (Lockboxes, Cata daggers, Legion questline, etc.), and figured I’d do it through the Primal Storms event. And boy, do I have some complaints:

Non-Elite enemies - They hit the tag limit so fast due to everyone in the event just spamming AoE for the currency, so I have to get stupidly lucky to get tags in for the EXP.

Elite Enemies - They don’t scale, so I can’t tag them due to literally everything missing.

And of course, I can’t do custom LFG until level 50, so I again have to get lucky and get invited into a farm group. And deal with the lower XP gains.

Blizzard, can you please fix this? Maybe increasing the tag limit on the mobs that do scale, and making the Elites scale?

You show up and ask for an invite., if no group then start one.

I just showed up with my priest and got invited to a group. Ran with it for a couple hours.

Can be rough alone though. Especially for melee.

And what, pray, do you do when you show up to the event and there aren’t any groups at all? This morning there was me and a level 37 at the event…the level 60 elites just ran around killing us repeatedly. Not fun, or a valid levelling option.

With my monk at 35 it was a nightmare, went with my rogue at 47 and hit 60 in an hour and a half

On my server everyone just goes to one spot and nobody goes to any other spots.

I got my heirloom trinket and just enough of that event currency specifically for the plate armor transmog. Thankfully nothing else was worth it and I no longer have to touch the event again.

I dunno maybe try another area, spawn point by Northern Barrens by The Forgotten Pools is always bumping with players. I have yet to go there and it not be packed.

Certainly not seeing the issue here.

Very dramatic though, lol!

Honestly, I’m starting to agree. Starting to just want to get the rest of the Transmog sets at this point and call it quits. Level the rogue at another time unless Blizz fixes it.

Who would do the event for leveling when it only takes 3 hours to level from 10-60 now.

Something different to do while leveling?

It doesn’t suck cause you can’t get in and level fast, holy murlocinators!

Completely missing the point. Can’t get in and do it at all if there aren’t large groups. What part of a level 30 going against level 60 elites being bad is hard for you to understand?

You can level plenty fine while doing the prepatch, especially if you have a bank of rested XP to use since it’s all kill xp. It’s just not so good as to make leveling by questing completely pointless right now like it was doing the Legion prepatch that everyone always whines about wanting back.

It’s a perfectly fine way to level that doesn’t overshadow the other ways to level.

3-4 hours to reach max level seems pretty good to me, lol

Are you trolling? I logged on a character I hadn’t played since BFA. I got 50-52 in 4 minutes due to rested XP.

You must be trolling. Or you’re just bad at the game.
