Scaling is fine, making combat take longer is fine. But what is NOT fine is that they increased not only combat time, but also experience requirements. There is no reason to do this other than pushing players towards buying boosts.

Blame me.
I asked for it, and now that I have it, I love it.
You noobs have asked for crap things every year, well this year, it's my turn.
Yeah, this was my fault. I'm happy about it so far.
Why are people making alts if they don't like leveling, I wonder? If they think max level is the challenge, why not engage in their max level character?
You want fast combat play Wildstar or Guild Wars. There is nothing fast about WoW combat.
Aye mate
You do realize that Classic WoW is still hard for veteran players as well, yes? Like, if I go to play Classic then I actually die sometimes. Mobs are harder to kill because their damage is an actual threat. Humanoid mobs all run in fear when they're low on health, and the solo mobs are usually very close to packs of them. They will run in terror specifically to that spot, pull the other three+ guys, and then proceed to fuck you up. I have played this game since 2005 and this shit still gets me to this day.
"I hate that this game operates like an MMO."
Ok.
Blizzard listen to thier playerbase? Good joke sir.
.
It's just so damn frustrating.
Last week, I could have gone into dungeons and raids and, with time, gotten every appearance, It just took patience.
Now: IMPOSSIBLE.
"You're a Rogue? No INT daggers or STR swords for you! Level some alts and L2P lol!"
Sorry but they do, that doesnt mean they will add or do all the changes that is asked after, since players often just think of themself and there own class and have no clue how a change to one thing might effect other things.
Sure they could probably listen more but too say that they dont listen at all is wrong.
You are completely deluded if you think the changes were done for any other reason than to make more money for Blizzard. Mission tables make nowhere near the gold that old raids used to net. Hint" There is a reason they nerfed vendor prices of old dungeon/raid content some time ago.
How does it get you to this day still? Cause of private servers? If so, I've played on private servers too, and it's easy as fuck to level even on blizzlike ones like Nost. You just have to use your brain and be ready to use a burst of damage at low health in order to kill them before they run to other groups.

That's a lie, cause I knew nothing better than gathering gold on my own too back then. Sure, it'd be like 10k gold, for tons of time on each toon. Now it's what? Far more than that per toon, every week, with your cellphone while you are in the toilet. But ye, keep being a doomsayer.
I don't think you are sure, that implies you have an opinion of your own. In another forum post somewhere you will defending the removal of features and stream ling of leveling, removal of group quests and use of phasing just because Blizzard cannot be wrong. When you consider what this game was to the dumbed down simplistic state it has become stating that you want solid MMO RPG aspects simply dosen't make sense.
It's funny you claim they lack common sense when you don't even understand the reasons they slowed combat down and increased health of mobs. That's some crazy irony honestly, but casuals surprise me every day.

Yup, well said. Casuals had a decade of their requests getting granted. Now, people who actually want to play the game get to do so in legion and it's never been better. If you can't understand why a change like this is better for the game than please do everyone a favor and go outside.

I find it funny that you promote a WoW-based Youtube channel in your sig but literally every post I've seen you make you're bashing "casuals" (who make up the overwhelming majority of WoW's players). Going for a niche audience for your channel I guess ?
I am the one who knocks ... because I need your permission to enter.
Why did they add the Heritage Armor for manually leveling Allied Races, then ?
Why has this been the one change to slow down leveling in the 3 full years (as of next month) boosts have been available, when previously every change has been to make leveling faster ?
And are you sure leveling takes so much longer now than it did before ?
If you literally don't look beyond the surface, I guess I can see how it looks like this is designed to sell more boosts.

... Your broken English makes absolutely zero sense.
I have not been "defending" removal/additions of features for the sake of defending them, removal of group quests and phasing at any point at that. You're babbling nonsense, plain and simple. Some features being removed/added I agree with, others I don't. I'm sorry that you've got the mentality of a petulant child and thus can't understand the concept of agreeing and disagreeing without falling out over it with a person/company.
I want solid RPG and an MMO experience, WoW fulfills those needs for me and has been for almost a decade. That's my opinion, others are free to disagree with it and thus seek those things from other games. End of story. Welcome to the Ignore function.

Pretty much. They're pretty damned selective in what they see if it's "blatant" to them that changes are made just to sell 1 character service, when these changes have been a constant feedback from the playerbase for a decade now. And of course, the fact that they add additional incentives to level through it all.

Leveling is still lightning fast, killing mobs is still really fast (but sure, 2 more GC can increase fights a bit).
If people wouldn't overblown everything what they don't agree with, discussion could be at least meaningful. Now we just have some people crying that "LEVELING IS RUINED OMGGG" and couple of people telling them "IT"S FINE DICKHEAD".
