Mob xp gain feels insulting

[Jademist]

In the words of the Pandaren: Slow down, life is to be savored.

Besides, I don't understand how this is insulting. But, as always, I'll let you whine.

[Taeldorian]

Wow,... you get insulted easily...

I don't really see a problem there;
I'm halfway level 104 after completing one zone.

I'm pretty sure that's with you doing something beforehand. I collected almost every treasure (saved a few for max level), I've done every bonus objective, completed the entire zone of Val Sharah and was at 102 and a half. Didn't skip anything. So I'm not sure how you hit 104 unless you're using a guild standard with a bunch of guild mates.

[Venziir]

What do you thing that at level >100 we are gaining some 10-300 xp for normal mobs of our own lvl?

That's because you aren't supposed to mob-grind to level. This isn't 2006.

Halfway 104... which is 103 +50%.
I hardly did anything outside of the story quests + the sidequests involving Murky (Which i ran into out of curiosity alone) and the "Big game hunting" ones.
I didn't even go and get myself a 2nd artifact yet.

Also: I have yet to finish off the zone with the dungeon; The time ran out on me and i had to go to work when i was done outside the dungeon.

It never ceases to amaze me the sorts of petty things people will bitch about in these forums...

+1.

Where's the Stephen Fry jpg when you need it.

i know, but i still thing its stupid to be gaining lots until lvl 100 and then getting miserable amounts, game shouldnt be balanced around exploiters, they should just be banned or have the exploits patched. i would prefer having mobs not drop any xp than having them drop miserable amounts

You do realize that the huge amount of exp gained before current content is only for catchup right? Leveling from 1- 60 was a tedious grind before cataclysm, and would only take weeks if you were fast. Then they made exp gain faster so alts wouldn't have to play through boring old content for the umpteenth time. The slower exp gain from 100-110, is normal, just like it has been for the current content of previous expansions.

[Moozart]

Insulted? Really? This could be easilly solved by growing a pair.

Or also just logging off

You do know that XP gain from mobs were made so you can't deliberately farm the same mob over and over again? If you hit 10xp per mob, then you have farmed an enourmeous amount. You do the quests to get xp, the mob xp is merely bonus.

Which is fucking stupid, I hate questing.

[SoundOfGuns]

Well, he has a point. 480 is a bit of a low blow... Especially since as a Holy-Paladin its basically a raid-boss for me... ...well it was till i respeccted ret anyway. But the Quests gives enough XP. Its fine.

[Sabii]

I know Sensitive Joss Whedons are easily offended but by XP gain in a game...c'mon now.

[dd614]

WoW players will complain about anything.

[Cthulhu 2020]

I guess this offsets the feature that you can now tag mobs and take kill credit/xp without being in a group with others.

Pretty much. In past expansions people have figured out how to exploit mob farming to get max level in under an hour. Very little mob xp effectively prevents this, even if it does get rid of mob grinding as an effective way to level.

Levelling in MoP and WoD was faster than Legion. Not that its good or bad - just different.

People have been bitching about the questing experience being too fast for years, skipping zones due to outleveling them.

Now people such as yourself, bitch that they've tried to remedy that. Blizzard can't win.

[anon5123]

You're gaining lots? Overall XP required has been reduced ever since Warlords, take a look at XP required and see that it increases with like 10k each level. There's no difference in gaining 3k xp per mob if the required XP needed is 9.2 million like in cataclysm.

^This

Treasures in WoD would give like 30k EXP even without heirlooms. Treasures in Legion are giving like 7600 exp at level 100.

[Deathquoi]

It's pretty weaksauce, I agree. I guess they really didn't like the idea of people farming mobs for XP and decided to just cut it all out.

They probably said "hey now that people can get credit for a kill by just doing one point of damage we might want to cut back on XP so people don't band together and just AoE everything in sight and then complain that the expansion is boring after they hit 110 in 20 minutes".

[Dracullus]

Whiny people getting desperate inventing things to complain I see.

[Mellrod]

Honestly, WoW has always tried to lean away from the EQ style leveling where simply killing mobs is how you gain the bulk of your XP. This was apparent in early game systems and concepts, and still fairly clear today.

I remember when WoW was like that. Any vanilla leveling guide would tell you to maximize exp by grinding mobs while questing. Thank goodness that's not the case anymore.

Really? I might agree with WoD but i never noticed in MoP. However MoP did only have 5 levels. You think they'll ever do that again?

Anyways i digress, i was speaking in general terms. Now i could be wrong but i was always under the impression that current content was slower than previous because our blizzard adding more exp gain to old content. Or is that confined to 1- 60 content?

[dexx]

Really? I might agree with WoD but i never noticed in MoP.

In WoD i needed about an hour per level, around 2 hours per level in MoP, and (so far) 3 hours per level for Legion.
