Why is the leveling experience so bad?

if you are trying to chill, with a new class/spec starting from 10… everything dies within a sec… the tank kept pulling all the dungeon while running… how is this even fun? no I don’t want Classic.

I get it if we are doing this at max level.

Its so bad because retails is HEAVILY focused on late/end game…and In my opinion, leveling only exists to check a block allowing them to say its there

Plus they have shortened it so much that the entire process is inconsequential. I mean, why worry about balance at level 10 when most people are only there for 5 minutes

I actually think the current leveling experience is the best it’s ever been… it’s never been a fun experience because it always dragged, at least now, it’s FAST and efficient… chill on your own time.

You’re asking for classic without wanting classic. That’s something you gotta sort out.

Well, there is Classic if Retail isn’t doing what you want it to do. Sorry ‘bout ya luck kid.

I think with the new addition, and removal of the LFG chat system in game, that and general chat within each zones, it killed the player social world is alive type vibes.

Just my opinion.

There is a reason people love Classic version WoW, and its because the chat can make the game feel ‘hype’, ‘popular’, ‘hyped’, etc.

That is what happens when eating instant noodles with a silver spoon. Fast, soulless, leaving you searching for meaning.

No he is not asking for Classic. Do you know what a nuance is?

Ooh yeah. Microwaving a steak and calling it the finest steak ever.

I guess if the goal is to reach max level with zero memories along the way, then grats, we have all achieved enlightenment.

No in-between point? Only two extremes? One being tedious and other being faceroll meaningless?

Please think. Thank you.

I wonder how hard it would be to add a toggle for slow/fast leveling XP? I rather miss the ability from Rift to manually set your level so you could go back and do old zones at the correct level range or be max level if you wanted to just farm.

That’s gourmet in comparison to what it used to be… if you enjoy the classic leveling experience, it’s there for you.

I hope the forthcoming Legion Remix with its leveling system is successful and will in smaller or larger part be adopted to retail.

Why did I get the impression the OP would like something between the two polar opposites?

I’m thinking WoW, of either variety, isn’t your game. There are others you can try. Good luck!

Quest/explore the open world for leveling if you feel dungeons are too easy for your tastes.

And I’m old enough to be yours…

This, and every other pug related problem has the same solution. In an MMO, what do you think I referencing as the solution?

I agree and been saying similar for a while. Most people will say the standard “play classic” or “that’s what classic is for”

Or you’ll get “no one wants leveling the game starts at level cap”

Personally I don’t see the massive deal if blizzard added options that increase mob health and difficulty - while even increasing loot in some cases.
