After 7.3.5 leveling old content will take forever

[NormalGamer]

I can’t understand why players are exited for MORE TIME enduring old content. I play wow since the Burning Crusade and yes i loved it, but the reality is that all those zones are OLD CONTENT now.

I want to level characters as fast as possible to 100 so i can experience legion with them, but with the scaling zones is gonna take so long that might as well PAY $60. Old content IS NOT the game, the game begins at 110 where you can raid, do bgs, arenas, make gold, hunt for transmogs, artifact skins, etc.

World of Warcraft is the ONLY RPG that has gotten this big.

Do people have so much time on their hands that they can literally waist it playing irrelevant content?

Better kys to save yourself from the pain of levelling like any other RPG.

Also B- for the bait.

No other RPG has 110 Levels

1. No. It won't.
2. Shut up.
3. Vanilla is when leveling took forever.
4. Shut up.
5. Stop whining about shit that doesn't matter. The amount they increased the XP isn't that much. Quit being such a god damned entitled baby.

Yeah. That should about cover it.

P.S. Shut up.

They are preparing the player base for WoW Classic leveling! Imagine the complains when its released, oh boy

[Oakshana]

No other RPG has 110 Levels

No other MMORPG levels as fast as WoW without monotonous mob grinding with no story.

You're complaining to complain.
You're a troll (Don't think we don't see that brand new account with only two posts)
You're an idiot.

You're one of those. MAYBE all three!

Everybody seems to be very happy and excited about scaling old content, and for me that is weird because is OLD CONTENT, is irrelevant. We already play it. (i played late BC and WoTLK, then quit and came back for Legion)

Remember back in the day went you gain a talent point EVERY LEVEL?
That had to change to make possible the 85 levels, so I think leveling in irrelevant content should change in a faster and easy way so everyone can enjoy the LEVELING IN legion and future content.

And yet i find people shouting that this is amazing and that finally we can enjoy the stories of the zones (irrelevant zones) and that it is so sad that current leveling is so quick. I don’t get it.

To me old content IS NOT the game, the game begins at 100-110 where you can raid, do bgs, arenas, make gold, hunt for transmogs, hunt for artifacts skins, etc.

So explain to me why playing the irrelevant parts of this amazing game is a good think, and that is more rewarding than paying $60

It allows for a smoother leveling experience, you don't outlevel a zone the minute you enter it. However the XP increases are uncalled for

[Naxergss]

Legion shouldnt be only content in WoW, in MMORPGS leveling is a content and now, you can face roll it in 2 days spamming LFD, this destroys player's first impression.

[Chickat]

Its not really old content considering a fair bit of people will be leveling 1 or 6 allied races soon. It makes it more fun, and lets you experience stories you never got to because you over leveled every single zone.

They really arent. IM leveling just as quickly. Seems to be about neutral imo. You get a ton of xp now on quests because halfway through the zone everything is still giving max xp instead of half or less.

Sorry, but if you have to point out that you're not trying to troll people, many will find you and your topic suspect.

And you don't have to understand it, the many players (myself included) whom enjoy leveling + new players entering the game and starting from scratch, will reap the benefits of this scaling. Fuck paying 60 euros for a leveled character when you can do it yourself.

And WoW is ALL of its content, even if you don't care about it on a personal level.

[Flurryfang]

Leveling is a huge part of the game for some players and they want to enjoy it as much as they can. In the last couple of expansions, the leveling experience have been quite horrible because the increased speed in leveling, the heirlooms and the overall power creep of the base character, have made alot of leveling content broken and rather uncompelling.

With the scaling. Blizzard are trying to solve some of the problems with the leveling experience by allowing for a smoother leveling path, for more freedom in choosing this path and give a harder, more rewarding combat experience during this leveling period. For alot of people, this is non-content, but if you like to level, to take a character from lvl 1 to 110, then this scaling a huge influx of content, because leveling just gets more fun.

[Kailith]

But that's the thing, to you it's irrelevant. I still enjoy playing through the old content leveling new characters. Being able to fully enjoy the story of an old zone without it feeling like I'd be gaining nothing for my character will make the game a lot better, especially for new players going through everything for the first time.

Had a friend get bored of the game a couple hours in, said the mobs died way too fast and he didn't even have to do anything to level, plus he didn't fully get what was going on around him as a bit into the zone he's start getting quests at hubs to send him to a new zone but he didn't do anything in the previous one. This change lets everyone go through whatever zone storylines they wanted plus skip zones if they wanted to, like Outland vs Northrend scaling.

Think it's a great step in the right direction and why not use it, They have the tech for it now.

(Sarcasm mode ON) Okay let me show you again how great scaling works on PTR and how hard and time consuming it is:


Killing well-scaled mobs naked on PTR - So hard and challenging.


Hmm, stuff on my level is too easy, Lets see how my level 80 can easily fight level 85 ELITES NEXT World Boss (PTR Scaled Pandaria)


Oh, but the old raids/dungeons will be definitely more challenging and time-consuming now. LETS SEE HOW MY LEVEL 80 SOLO LEVEL 80 ICC HEROIC.

(Sarcasm mode off)

Okey do you still think it will take forever to level and generally do old content? It is still piss easy. You wont feel a diffrence and at least you will be able to "enjoy" story one shooting through it.

[killerqueer]

It's made so u don't outlevel and go to other zones. Just so you can comfortably stay in one.
It still is a faceroll

[Rorke]

The thing that bothers me the most about them slowing down the pace is the fact that leveling pruned half baked classes isn't even fun. You're just going to sit at mobs longer pushing the same two buttons.

Emphasis mine... That's basically what it boils down to. Different strokes for different folks. What you enjoy the most might not be what others enjoy the most, and vice-versa. Some people might value the storytelling and roleplaying element of the game far more than the max level content. There's no right or wrong answer, they provide a massive amount of content so that everyone can find something they enjoy.
