WoW Classic Hotfix -- Raid Party XP Bug

[Mentu-grobbulus]

@Unbearably-grobbulus

Thats my general issue with it, I care about the entire picture.
I want to Work hard and show off how hard I worked by my achievements/gear/mounts/etc. I want to see that as well from other players.

But Layer Exploiting is up there with being able to just buy gold or gear and get whatever you want. It makes that distinction for me whether or not someone actually ‘earned’ something completely go away.

These are the exact things that drive me away from most modern MMO’s because my Hours sunk into them generally don’t matter you can just pay to get to a similar status in many cases. Which may as well be cheating by game integrity sense.

@Unbearably-grobbulus

If they don’t fix it, I’m gone. Its a stupidly large unfair advantage given to players willing to Exploit and bend the rules and the integrity of the game.

But ya I won’t be surprised if they don’t do anything honestly, I didn’t expect that Blizzard could not mess up Classic WoW in some major way.

The Raid XP is minor impact compared to this.

@Tarregor-dalaran

im actually considering quitting WoW because this happened
I’ll give blizzard a month to do something about it; all i can think of is doing a hard reboot of all of the servers and re-naming all of them and not having layering apply to people who aren’t in the starter zones, which by the way would be different than sharding

the economy has literally been ruined forever, and probably on every server thats more than 5 days old

i mean, its all fine and dandy if someone gets ahead of the crowd and takes advantage of all the good farming spots, but this is at least 20 leaps and bounds beyond ridiculous; even satire isn’t this bad

im not sure if I’ll ever get to sell those lvl 18-19 twink blues I found for more than 10g
meanwhile I also doubt that the people who abused layer-hopping will allow devilsaur leather, arcane crystals/bars, or black lotuses to be undercutted beyond a certain amount that will probably be pretty high

I’m also not sure if phase 2 will ever happen, and if layering doesn’t die down, then there’ll be no community

We need a fix for layering and other exploits. We need to correct the difficulty of content to their original state. We need to do it know.
If you create new servers that apply all of the above, me and many others (probably everyone who gives something about the real/authentic experience) will without a second thought roll on those!

Or as stated in the last quote: “all i can think of is doing a hard reboot of all of the servers and re-naming all of them”

What’s next? Layer swap cooldown?

Sure, how’s an hour sound? (First classic level 60 last week was an EU mage layer hopping with help from friends - AOE’ing the same packs of trash across layers.)

This is what happens when you run a streamer invite beta.

Bugs. And oh my are there plenty of them

[Stonecore-grobbulus]

Again, pure silence on such an important issue. I hope you’re silently thinking about how to handle this, no action is the worst action you can possibly do at this point.

[Brokenwind-grobbulus]

It is funny to see players still spamming trade for SM XP farm groups.

[Indomitable-mankrik]

Please give progressive buffs to content. What I mean by that is to buff the instances from BRD and up by a large amount and dial back the buffs as you put out new phases.
An example:
Phase 1 and 2: 100% buff to all hp and damage
Phase 3 and 4: 50% buff to all hp and damage
Phase 5: 25% buff to all hp and damage
Phase 6: 10% buff to all hp and damage and then 0% after a few months

Why? My 5man was pulling bigger and faster then 10mans…

[Dwindle-arugal]

What’s so funny?

[Toebytter-stormreaver (Toebytter)]

Good point but why swear?

[Xoloft-old-blanchy]

what part of exactly like real life dont you get… this is how we made America! ask the natives.

move on before you get crushed by your own emotions

[Stonecore-grobbulus]

alright bros, they just swept it under the rug and let them get away with it. let’s just move on, catch up to those people, and be better than them, it’s all we can do at this point.

[Riolu-bloodsail-buccaneers]

I hope you feel really stupid about this comment. Enjoy the instance exploit ban wave =)

[Keyturn-grobbulus]

I actually like the slow pace of leveling, I feel like I can just see the landscapes and grind monsters and it is just this relaxing casual thing.

It’s like you’re doing more, while doing less.
