I understand if Blizzard wants to stop boosting so people actually play the game but why would they kill gold farming for normal players as well? If they wanted to stop boosting why not just nerf the experience gained when there is a large level difference in the group? Or if they wanted to stop bots from gold farming just get rid of bots for once, for years now in classic there has barely been anything done to stop the bots. In my opinion the anti-boosting mechanics such as stuns in strath or teleporting mobs in other dungeons is an over reaction, this could have been solved without screwing over normal players as well.

Boosting is around because people want to play the actual game. Leveling in older wow expansions is terrible and takes way too long.

You sound like a jealous hater lmao. “Go farm gold like the rest of us” lmao do you know how many legit players have pallys and are farming legitimately selling the trash from mobs? They aren’t jumping on a ledge and abusing pathing unlike some classes and instances. They tank and spank them.

I’m sure Blizzard originally intended for a single character to facetank hundreds of mobs.

Umm well in any game like this where you have max level and low level npcs that’s what usually happens. It’s been happening since vanilla… just now implementing this change is dumb and doesent solve anything especially for newer players and players who haven’t been doing this for the past 2+ years…and I’m talking about legit things only not hopping on ledges abusing mob pathing and such.

Original game design was intentionally designed to have the journey of getting to max level be a pretty large portion of the gameplay experience. It wasn’t exactly uncommon for people to play lots of characters and just level, or barely got into end-game after reaching max level. And honestly WoW leveling system was considered casual for this era.
I don’t really have any beef with people who don’t like leveling anymore and think it’s a waste of time, but I have no idea why they want to play a game that intentionally created these kinds of barriers. If you ask me these kinds of changes should have came far sooner to protect the spirit of the game, and even weed out the people who are not about the gameplay design of the Classic era.

ive been farming thousands and thousands of gold outside of dungeons. come on buddy work that brain of yours.
Don’t bother responding to frostbite he’s garbage and bitter that most of us found quicker and faster ways of farming gold. He wants to spend 10 hours a day farming 50g. He wants to feel important that his 50g means something.

you can still aoe farm dungs with paladin. Just reroll ur farmer
It’s actually to transfer boosting profits to Activision-Blizzard with the introduction of MTX boosts, with the scapegoat of it being “for the health of the game”. However, I don’t really care here, I’m just glad I’ll see less boosting spam.
that’s your mistake, the forums wanted that

You can still farm golds just pull less mobs.
Blizz has already clearly shown they don’t have much of a brain with this stuff.
“If there is more than an 8 level difference between the lowest and highest member of the group, then there is no group xp bonus and experience inside the dungeon is reduced by 80%.” Problem solved. People can still have high level buddies take them through and get a little extra on top of the loot and quests, but not enough to make it worth doing on repeat.
As far as money (if that’s a problem), then just make the monetary drops always be 1/5th of the total per person regardless of how many are in the group. Easy to do. Just cut the money amount to 20% and make whatever coin drops be looted by each person.
Incompetence, plain and simple.
