Blizzard started it is entirely meant to limit profits of new bots. It has nothing to do with player behavior, and everything to do with targeting the RMT market.

Lol @ at all the aggressive players thinking this 30/24 change is because we shouldn’t be spamming dungeons all day and having zero sympathy. As Contention said (and a blue), it has nothing to do with player behaviour and all to do with bot behaviour.

And when player behavior starts to mimic bot behavior?
Which is when?
Even giant, no life losers have too much of a life to care about it. That’s why.
Well you were just given two points where it does, hitting 5 runs per hour and hitting 30 runs per day

That’s not bot behaviour 
And blizzard has clearly established they consider that level of dungeon grinding to be bot behavior. So if you’re hitting those limits…
I don’t think you understand what a limit is
These 30 cap threads are on fire! 
Blizzard and every game maker out there does this constantly. Rules are put in place for various reasons whether it is to control botting, slow down content consumption, even the playing field, etc.
Every single rule/limit/constraint in the game potentially affects gameplay. “Legitmate gameplay” is whatever Blizzard says it is and the rules permit. This is the same for every game out there. The game compaines make and enforce the rules and rules change.

Nah, it seems hottest when the flames die down and it’s all charcoal embers. But actually that’s when the fire begins to burn out. While this issue will smolder for a long time mostly it’s beginning to burn out. Most have accepted the rule change and are beginning to move on.
I mean I boost on my mage and I’m very temped to boost a mage on my second account for an extra 30 lock. That is one way people are moving on. It is certainly annoying releveling another mage just for this purpose of course.
Life is full of small annoyances.
I’m pretty indifferent to the cap, although I think some people are being especially whiny about it (which is saying something). I think it only affects a handful of fanatics. Which probably explains why they are being so persistent… they’re fanatics. But if it cuts into the profits of the botters even by a little, then the positives probably outweigh the negatives overall.
Most of the forum “casuals” are really just poor lazy scrubs who want to drag everyone else down to their level.
Well there ya go, leveling another mage should keep you occupied for awhile instead of spamming dungeons. Especially since it’s harder to boost now 
According to some players here (lol), doing 30 or more dungeons per day is considered bot like behaviour. So just be careful you don’t get banned. Doing 30 per day is a big red flag for blizzard apparently.
I actually play the game quite a bit. What I don’t do is exploit dungeon resets or pathing to farm gold/rare items or conduct any RMT. Blizzard states that this limit will help control those things. And since they have the tools and systems to know better than the people who are actively trying to farm and exploit the game, I am going to defer to their judgement on this issue.
Plus a great side effect is that it has cut down on the boosting market quite a bit. With some luck, this will cut down on the number of lazy people who have a level 60, but know nothing at all about their class. Seems like a win/win to me.
Again, I DO play the game quite a bit. I just don’t try to exploit its systems. There is a difference.
Thanks.

This is the exact response I was hoping to see in this thread.
“You can play the game more than me so I want you slowed down so I can keep up.”
Sorry, but it’s not my fault if you don’t have the free time or don’t want to play when you do have the time. Hardcore players should not be held back because casuals can’t/don’t want to dedicate the time to keep up.
You don’t see me running around saying casual players should be limited to 30 quests, looting 30 herb/mining nodes per day, or whatever the hell it is you do with your time. I’m not asking for Blizzard to hold you back or limit your gameplay in any way, so would you please stop advocating that Blizzard holds me back and limits my gameplay.
