    You are constantly getting stronger if you are casual leveling, because gear from new quests end up always better than what you had before.

    But, if you have a well-geared character from previous expansion, you do get weaker as new gear is often worse than yours, and your gear scaling gets worse as you level up.

    It’s not much different from what it was before scaling, except that you could outlevel some areas before, and you’d only feel weaker when you moved to new areas.

    IMO, the benefits of scaling far outweight its drawbacks. Whole world to play and never feeling really safe are awesome for the long term of the game. In pre-Legion expansions, 80% or so of the area became useless once you reached max level.

    Scaling makes fun when your character progresses otherwise. In BfA, your character doesn't. That's the biggest problem. Only your gear evolves, not your character itself (e.g new skills, talents etc.).

    I agree. There should be some kind of progression. But I’m analyzing just the scaling tech, not the overall BfA experience. I’d hate to see scaling be removed just because class progression is bad.
    Whatever...

    Dollar says we won't even step foot in Ny'alotha this expac. Build to it, yep. 8.3 is going to have the faction war play out to it's conclusion and we'll end the expac on a big ass cliffhanger which will lead us to the Dragon isles and Ny'alotha in the next expac

    There was nothing at all wrong with Cata. The raids were some of the best ones ever made, so were the dungeons. Arena was amazing. What are you talking about? Why do people insist Cata was bad, do you have any idea what you're talking about at all? BfA/WoD are/were bad. Cata was good.

    Many people enjoy leveling alts through the world once they are done with the end game/competitive side of WoW. After I'm done with M+ progression and arena I like to relax on an alt by enjoying WoW's awesome, open world. Open world which is -VERY OVERDUE- for an update.

    Cata was hated a lot and still is to this day. You talking about you going about your alts is what you do and Blizzard can't spend all their resources doing the open world and...then thats it.

    You're basically saying yes, it's designed for flight, but it doesn't meet your subjective criterias for how enjoyable/well designed it is. It doesn't discount the fact they were designed for it. I for one liked those zones, and that was uninhibited by flight.

    Not bad. I would think Soup-mancer would work well as a monk spec. They are all about brews. And maybe the central conflict would be to make the Soup of Azeroth. As the main dish for the celebration of the end of the faction war. Lots of quests for gatherers and crafters. Main story would be about sabotage. The competition for best soup recipe involves a lot of blackmail, kidnapping and murder.

    1. No, it's cooked, and therefore DEAD.

    2. I'm a vegetarian.

    3. Even when I wasn't, I used to hate escargots.

    Fam blizzcon season should be starting soon.

    Literally like any day/week now. Last year it was 8-19, with classic on 8-27 they might delay it until after, but it's definitely coming. It's my favorite time of the year tbh, the 2 months leading up to blizzcon is hype af. And as someone who is going again this year, for my third time, I get more and more hyped as it gets closer.
