Glad to see everyone understands why this change is necessary and a good call on Blizz, I was surrprized by how well people took to this...NO! It's a #$%^-show!
If all these nerfs are about the "new players lvlup too fast and don't learn class/lore" then the problem can be solved by boosting the summary heirlooms' exp bonus up to 150% or something and an option to choose the exp bonus(RaF 50% or heirlooms 150%). In that case standard new players get their brand new scaling world, quests, atmosphere of adventure, hardcore, etc. Recruited new players get a bit faster lvling, but still enough time to learn class/lore/whatever. And those who have max lvl already - have an OPTION to just switch to the heirlooms' bonus if they want to lvlup fast(I'm talking about a RaF party now). Standard old players(without an active recruited friend) have their OPTION to wear heirlooms and lvlup faster.Still, I doubd that such idea never got into devs heads since it's obvious. So it looks like "just buy new iPhone this sweet lvl boost and bring us your money" type of nerf.
So this is another way of saying "we want to slow down leveling so that more buy the level 100 boost".
This is a business decision. The entire levelling revamp is a huge business decision, people. Nobody cares for content or stuff. Blizzard is a company, not a charity. They want money.More time to level up = more game time purchased. Either that or you buy the level boost.Stop being so naive.
Wonder why they did this.Make leveling painful again? New motto?Or was RAF cutting into the Boosting to 100 buyers?
Whatever Blizzard's reasons, people need to stop acting like entitled brats. Since the game's release we've seen a dramatic decrease in the required xp per level, gained the option to advance more quickly through heirlooms (for in-game currency) and received both leveling boosts and vanity rewards for getting friends to play the game. For those still not willing to put in the required effort, Blizzard introduced the option to straight up buy your way to end-game content. With all those options, people still feel the need to abuse the system and complain when their loophole is partially taken away from them. It's the perfect mix of laziness and greed. Bah!
They added new shiny races. They want you to buy race change or character boost. How to? By making leveling harder. Well i have everything but priest on 100+ now so i dont care
Let people get mad, I've been enjoying the changes Blizzard has been making lately.
The amount of crying here is ridiculous. Some people just need to sack up.
Blizzard is really making sure that new players learn to push more than one button on their way to 110. For people who have leveled toons for years this will suck. If you don’t care for story this is a bad change. It was annoying to out level a zone so quickly though. I guess just make the most of the changes. Not a fan myself, but different strokes for different folks I guess. Blizzard wants people buying level boosts for alts IMO.
This is getting worse and worse daily.. I wonder if blizzard actually thinking ''you wanted this ? YOU TAKE THIS THEN.'' and maybe going to revert it all back after so much rage, and possibly use patch 7.3.5 as test? I really hope so because it doesnt make sense. People can slow leveling themselves, why would you slow it for those dummies yourself and ruin leveling for others ? Really, doesnt make sense.
QUICK TO THE BUNKER! The whining is coming!
So Blizzard have finally realized that the changes they've been making to the leveling curve over the years has been a bad thing!
