Not looking forward to this...

I am hoping they nerf stats into the ground. Where we're at is completely ridiculous and it makes
absolutely no sense that I've got 1/100th of the health at level 60 that I'll have when I'm level 85.

If it's a straight percentage drop then you will still be 1/100th the health of an 85.

Either way it doesnt seem likely they will do this since the blue said it felt weird and everyone agreed. No sense alienating their player base.

From what I understood they wanted to normalize it... not just turn a knob to get a straight percentage
drop. Multibocks didn't link the actual blog post located here which has cool pictures:

No, they are nerfing the exponation increase, so instead of increasing massively from lvl 60 onwards, it's only slightly. Instead of getting like 200 hp a lvl, it will be like 40.

IMO, they should just make the lvling stat increases linear, with the gear at max lvls increasing in that same linear. So that the BiS gear at lvl 80 would be as good as gear you get at lvl 84. But so that if you level from 60-61, you get 40 hp, if you lvl from 80-81, you get 40 hp.

Yes, fig. 5 from that link, is what it should be like imo.

10 lvl 60s should be able to bring down a lvl 85, just like a whole gang of 40s can take a 60.

Ok i should have stated that I was not talking about ME..im talking about the masses. I will play MoP 100% for sure. Even if I'm playing something else at the time. I know I, personally, will get used to the change. Look at this way. If they make NO change..how many people will quit because the stats are "out of control"? MAYBE a few out out millions? But this change will cause a lot of people to not even bother with the expansion. They will see it as a big nerf and not buy MoP.. A players perception and how they "feel" about the game mean everything to some, and they don't want to ever "feel" like they are going backward. This change will do that for them.

Again.. I understand the PoV of why Bliz is considering this.. I just think it will hurt their subs more than it would help...and doing nothing will have very low to no negative effect.

And then those players will come crawling back lol, like they always do. WoW is STILL the biggest MMO. Those we lose wont be missed
