You can run a script against the console to change number values.

Totally cool with me. The level cap was getting bloated.
Now if they could just come up with a permanent fix for stat inflationā¦ I would not mind returning to seeing +15 Intellect on an item and thinking, āoh man, thatās a good upgrade over what Iāve gotā.

I donāt know about āeverybodyā, but Iām just fine and dandy with it. Levels are just arbitrary numbers that donāt actually mean a lot. The main thing that matters is the relative challenge posed by mobs in the various bits of content.
So yes, I am completely in favor of the proposed level squish and levelling revamp because it trades a thing which doesnāt matter for something that matters quite a lot - a quicker, smoother, more coherent levelling process.

Leveling alts will be faster, and the story will finally make sense again.

in virtual worlds we can undo inflation. out here in real life: well, there was once upon a time when I could watch a movie in a cinema for under five dollars

I am not ok with the level squish. There are other ways to go about faster leveling. Such as reducing the amount of xp needed to gain a level. That would have the same effect and not take away anything from anyone.

The point is (keep in mind it doesnāt matter to me one way or another) that each level becomes meaningless since there are so many that for a reasonable pace to max level you will inevitably ādingā very often, which takes away the excitement of dinging. That along with how few and far between actual progression to your class happens. Going over 10 levels before an ability or talent takes away the accomplishment from each level since you need so many to get an actual gain.
Think of it like running a marathon. If you have a marker every meter those markers donāt mean anything to you. If there is a marker every 5km they will mean you are making progression and it will be a sense of accomplishment every time you see one.

That is actually is different point. I know they are going to add something to every level, but why? Do people actually need to unlock something at every level? In the end the individual levels will still be meaningless because people will just blow by them as fast as they can to reach max level.

Not quitting over it, but they really need a permanent solution .
All points to removing power progression.

Yes. Level 130 and so on is a little absurd for an MMO

Iām fine with the squish
even more if I can level alts faster
Iāts a pain to level 120 levels and as everything is on the same level as you, thereās no āsense of progressionā
seriously, I liked to overlevel an area so I could trounce on mobs after they gave me trouble when I started the area, now to do this I have to reach the cap of the exp.
Nopeā¦ it is why I have stopped playing retail.

Yes, I am.
120 levels is just dumb with how little the content from level 60 on means. The leveling experience from 1-60 is beyond superior to 61-120.

I donāt see the point of the level squish, personally. But its just a number. More importantly, what is the plan beyond the next expansion? They havenāt said a word about it, which is interesting. If weāre simply going to increment back upward then the level squish makes little sense. Especially when all they had to do was enable players to make characters at the previous expansion level cap. And give players the option to make characters at level 1 if they still choose to do that. This would have been the simplest option, by far. That they didnāt do this is another thing Blizzard hasnāt addressed. Also interesting.

This, this, this.
The rest of this expansion sucks with even more pointless arbitrary grind for nothing that can Iāll carry over with our character to shadowlands.
Squish it, squish it now.
And while weāre at it, put something into the game that actually sticks with us as progression. No more expansion only skills and talents. Something permanent.
That builds our character and stays.

Why donāt we just have levels go to over 9000? Each mob will give you 1/2 a level. I will feel so much better at level cap seeing that my level is over 9000 vs a measly 60. 9001>60, so itās better and I can sleep better at night knowing this.
