PSA: Level all of your sub-90 toons NOW

[Varjo410]

Some people enjoy leveling and are looking forward to this?
I even plan on deleting all alts who are not 110 yet so I can relevel them through the updated experience.

[Lime]

Also you can fly in Pandaria at 80 right away = faster speed moving around.

Really? Does it still require a tome?

[morph4037]

They removed it iirc.

There are no more speciality flying skills to fly in Northrend / Pandaria.

[Lime]

Well, that's great. Here I was thinking of constantly skipping Pandaria.

If you think this is Blizzard looking out for your "Leveling Experience" you're naive.

This change does basically two things.

1) It lengthens out the leveling process giving Blizzard that sweet sweet subscription money.

2) It takes the people who don't want to spend the (boring) time leveling and incentivizes character boosts.

This change is ALL about money.

[Kakera]

Good for you. You're in the minority.

Haha. Based on this thread you're the one in the minority. Piss off.

I wouldn't say ALL.
But more revenue means I get to keep playing WOW, so, good!

[Marema]

Thanks OP! I had no idea of these changes. I mean, after visiting this website for several months and looking at patch notes and threads on the new patch I totally missed all of this! You are super awesome!

You just saved me from purchasing 15 boosts!

[Deleted]

I know. That's why they're making it slower without making it better. Most people share this opinion and many many more people will buy boosts now

Its a problem when you yourself dont believe the stuff you are spouting. You know that right

[Deleted]

I personally can't wait for the patch and start leveling again. I really hope to see good old group quests, dungeons being hard and such.

It also makes the leveling gameplay actually gameplay. Which means newcomers have more enjoyable experience and are more likely to actually get through it.

Just wanted to say thank you to all of the hyperdefensive people angrily disagreeing with me, thanks for keeping this thread front and center, the more you bump it, the more people will be informed of the changes. That is my only goal, I'm not here to change minds, I'm here to inform

Thanks for telling me how I feel! That's a cool new way to look at this topic! "Anyone who disagrees with me must not actually know how they feel, let me post to tell them how they really feel!"

We're talking a game here, bud. People are bitching about being "forced" to do things in an entirely optional hobby whilst sitting on their ass indoors in a comfortable chair when there are numerous options available to boot.

Yeah, and we're talking about walking vs going somewhere with a car, not the work itself.

The point is that some people do indeed want to get through 60 and the 50 other levels that were added since Vanilla and get into current content as quick as possible, and some people want to stay and do every quest they can (even if they did them before) and enjoy the scenery of the old world.

Both groups have valid points, since the ever-growing level cap changes the situation here. You can't expect people to keep slogging through it just to get an alt into BfA content, or the expansions following BfA that will undoubtedly raise the level cap even higher.

And those that want to look around and immerse themselves have a valid point, too. Yet it seems easier for both groups to just accuse the other of whining or bitching.

Don't bother arguing with them. It's like trying to explain quantum mechanics to a cat. That's why I stated in my op I didn't make them thread to debate them, I made it to inform. I'm only responding to truly ridiculous posts like people making a claim that I'm literally the only one who didn't know this was coming, or the guy who's tried to tell me I don't actually feel the way I feel (lol)

[Spiral]

Nah I think leveling is the funnest part of the game. Can't even enjoy it these days because it goes so stupid fast.

[xezar]

Unfortunately as I want void elf to be my new rogue (and/or mage depending on how horrible leveling ends up being with the nerfs, otherwise I might just wait until we get the inevitable 110 boost free with expac purchase), I have no choice but to suffer and wait to level one of them for that heritage armor >.>

Unless they all of a sudden announce soon that you don’t actually need to level them from fresh to 110 for the heritage armor, then fuck that I’ll just level one now and race change later lol.

I mean, I don't think level is that much suffering, but my viewpoint is that now we're approaching the 150s, we can't really be asked to push through every expansion just to get a new alt up to par anymore, and either they need to squish the level experience (as an optional thing for those who want to, maybe?) or increase the amount of XP gained in an hour. Right now, with 7.3.5 it's slightly reduced.

It's not a nightmare, and the fact that you don't outlevel quests certainly does help, but I disagree with any notion that exp needs to decrease/exp requirement needs to increase in any form, even if a tiny bit, so that's more a principles thing.

[valax]

I don't see this explicitly stated anywhere and only learned it from various forum posts, so I'm gonna help out and tell you here. They are DRASTICALLY increasing the time it takes to level in 7.3.5. Quest exp is nerfed up until either 90 or 100, 1 to 60 now takes more exp, and looms are being nerfed. This is a horrible change and if I hadn't already leveled every class to 100 in WoD I would be furious. So if you ever plan on rerolling in the future, do it now before this not-so-subtle ploy to sell boosts goes in to effect.

if you like this change then good for you. But I made this thread to inform those who are unaware and don't want to have to suffer through slow leveling. If I helped one person realize this and spared them the pain of slow leveling, then the goal of this thread is accomplished and I am happy. Sorry if me having a different opinion than you upsets you,
but I just want to inform those who share in my opinion even if I'm in the minority

If you can't muster to walk your alts through a proper level experience then having alts is not for you . Buy the boost and stfu , guess you'll cry everytime you log in if ever you'll decide to give a try to classic , You know , running around for 40+ levels because you won't even have the golds to buy the riding skill + mount ?

[Linkedblade]

I don't see how it makes leveling take longer when you can continually level in an area until you've completed it rather than stopping and having to go to a new area
