Look I know plenty of you will want to give me some crap for this, but hear me out. One year is a very short time for vanilla, and an even shorter time for xpacs. So check it:
XP boosts attract players, and we need people to group with. XP boosts also help people with alts, which can give us more heals and tanks. If you don’t want your XP boosted then turn off JJ. BTW there’s really nothing prestigious about dinging max level anymore; the flex just isn’t there lol.
Now about raid drops. Gearing in a year is going to be ridiculous, especially with so many people focusing on that r14 chase (I support the ranking change). I feel like increasing the raid drops would be a very good thing for the player base, and it would fit well with the current no GDKP policy.
Bliz! Please make this happen at some point in the progression!
