Why are BFA mobs still level 60?

[Primerate-sulfuras]

Legion: level 45
BFA: 60
Shadowlands: 60

I get BFA was 60 because Shadowlands was so terrible that they kept the default leveling experience in BFA but now that DF is the default BFA should be returned to the original level 50.

[Canopia-duskwood (Canopia)]

because Blizzard is clueless and incompetent when it comes to pacing and balancing.

[Breel-tichondrius]

BFA is the current default level-up expansion until Dragonflight takes over because Blizzard refuses to acknowledge the existence of Shadowlands.

[Breadisfunny-turalyon (Breadisfunny)]

i think everyone does.

[Qaccy-baelgun (Qaccy)]

BfA was only ever supposed to go to level 50 outside of the leveling experience regardless. They just never bothered to fix it because it’s not max-level content and because it’s not something that’s really beneficial to players (it’s not exactly much of a negative either, but it does still lean that way).

[Jerauld-uther (Jerauld)]

I say keep it 60, it’s more fun that way for anyone who doesn’t like Dragon Isles can stay away as long as possible before they have to move on, non-chromie time.

[Ventorath-wyrmrest-accord]

Nah, we’re in 11.0.2. It’s Dragonflight now.

This is the correct answer.

You misunderstand Blizzard’s intention. They want to funnel new players through BfA so they intentionally increased BfA level to near max. It’s most likely gonna go up to 70 after TWW.

It’s because Shadowlands takes place almost completely detached from Azeroth. It makes no sense as the default levelling experience. Nor would Warlords or TBC.

[Inariusz-dragonmaw]

Dragonflight is the default as of prepatch and now 11.0.2. All of this talk about BFA still being the default leveling experience is misinformation by definition.

They want to funnel new players through Dragonflight, now. As of pre-patch Dragonflight is now the default 10 - 70 experience.

[Abendroth-zuljin (Abendroth)]

Is DF already the default or it has to wait until TWW is live?

[Inariusz-dragonmaw]

OMG it’s already the default. And if you think I am lying why the hell not make a new toon and go through exiles reach and find out.

[Abendroth-zuljin (Abendroth)]

Why create a new one, if it’s already default than I just remove chromie time and if I see DF dungeons, switch is already done. I’m not too hot at the idea of the same 4 dungeons for the whole leveling process. At least BFA had variety.

(Yeah it’s already DF.)

[Spring-the-underbog]

Makes sense, probably because of Dragonriding and it being a palatable story.
