yes extremely.
you need from 84-85 4,5 million XP, back then when cata was released it was 9 million.
I do 80-85 in about 4 Hours.
All expansions get nerfed hard to the ground after the expansion is done, same thing happened to cata/wotlk/tbc/vanilla.
Yes it did - quite a huge one. Some...what? 50% I think. I've leveled 3 new toons post Cata and it's a breeze.
You'd think I would remember specifically, but really the first thing that came to mind was "Recruit-A-Friend" followed by "Scroll of Resurrection"
So... Yes.
Oh, this: 33% 82-84 50% 84-85. Quite significant.
Everyone has already said Yes, so I'll add a tip:
When you ding 84, go to the Crucible of Carnage in Twilight Highlands with a few higher level friends. You'll get something like 15-20% of the xp needed (depending on heirlooms, guild perks, etc) in 5 minutes.
You're not allowed to discuss conspiracy theories on mmo-champion, which makes me wonder what they're trying to hide.
When was Cata XP nerfed? 4.3? 5.0?
I think it happened with 4.3. Quite a big nerf too.
Yes. By the time Cata was almost over I believe. They did the same to LK as well during Cata.
I cried alone every single night. It felt like every day that passed here stole another piece of my real life away. After i cried, I’d go and fight as hard as I could. My only thought was winning, moving forward, and getting stronger. — Asuna Yuuki
Leveling through Cata content goes by really quickly now; on my mage I completely cleared out Hyjal and was maybe halfway through Deepholm before hitting 85, throwing dungeons into the mix as well.
I was done within like 20 quests once I hit twilight highlands.

The reason I was asking when Cata XP was nerfed is because nerfing MoP in 5.3 seems highly unusual. I know they always nerf XP at the end of an expansion, but this is the first I know of them doing so in the middle of one.
They nerfed it by about 50% for each level (more or less, some were like 30% or so).
It's so quick now that (heirloomed) I went from 80-84 in a day easily.
There is a thin line between not knowing and not caring, and I like to think that I walk that line every day.
Other than the crucible of carnage, try queueing for grim batol specific at 84. Gives a lot of xp from mobs, especially with rested. It's like the utgarde pinnacle of cata.
Also worth noting that Cata has a lot of dungeons available for its 5 levels compared to BC and Wrath, all of which have dungeon quests which make your first visit very rewarding. Makes 80-85 a breeze compared to 60-80 where you run repeat dungeons A LOT.
