Since you guys are going for a “Classic” experience, can you not take a dump on ZF and other AoE farming this time around? This made no sense the last time you did this. If people want to AoE farm ZF or other instances then we should be able to.
I have done this kind of leveling on Mage, Pally and Lock. It is just simply fun to do. There is nothing like setting it all up and hoping you nail it so you don’t get insta killed by a ton of elite mobs. Honestly after 20 years of doing the same quests over and over, sometimes we need a damn break and this is a nice way to get that break.

I dont think people care if you do it yourself. They care about the 4 afkers who paid you to drag them through.

they should just fix pathfinding to where you cant exploit it. then you can farm all you want - and can.

I think it’s fair for them to leave it in, but would appreciate seeing a prevention of boosting.
It makes sense to knee cap that to line up with the GDKP ban. Emergent player behavior should be encouraged, but not at the expense of the health of the game.

This is still a thing on Era, and since they made no mention of Giving Classic2 the SoM treatment, I think its a safe bet we can AE farm.
No state of the game classic or retail should you be able to gather up 50+ elite mobs and kite them around with AOE and kill them… Ever… Period

Im a huge fan of farming dungeons for mats. I dont like boosting culture as the literal spam and ramifications of players being removed from the “world” is antithetical to the game.
So maybe removing exp by level difference should be applied.
I dont want bots to automate it either but if no one at blizzard is willing to do anything about it, i hardly think u should punish players by removing dungeon farming.

I can’t wait to sell boosts tbh.
I also level solo 44-54 in ZF
As long as I can farm Dire Maul with a mage I’ll be rolling in money.
Solo zf leveling from 44-54 will make you enough to buy your epic mount at level 54.
I do not want to experience the crapshow of the SoM “fixes”. Mobs becoming immune to movement impairment and actually getting accelerated movement was actually horrible when doing dungeon content in a group as normal.
They can simply directly address it by making xp gained while grouped with someone that gains no xp net 0xp. Even then though the issue will be high level dungeons such as Stratholme, ST and ZG where mobs are green+ to a level 60.

I don’t think the SoM changes will be in.
What were the som changes?
What he said. They made mobs impossible to kite forever and they started to resist snares after a period of time. They also started to run faster and knocked your character down.
It made farming nearly impossible in dungeons.
What was the timing?
Cuz the zf solo stuff is fast, you don’t really take a minute to kill your packs.
Oh I forgot, they also could TP to you if you used ledges.
I don’t think these changes are in ZF for FRESH.
Hmm that might kill you then since you use the reset points to get into where the graves are.
The old school way was hitting all the graves then using cone of cold to kite then in a circle.
Took like 45 seconds to kill them with cone of cold.
I know how ZF works I mained mage in classic launch. I solo leveled this mage in ZF from 42 to 51.
I don’t think they are adding the changes in FRESH.
