Leveling in 7.3.5

[Fat Tire]

@FatTire,

I'm sorry I should have broken up my post with a hrule or something. I did not mean to upset or disrespect or anything. I was just commenting on why I thought they were using the player base to test out the 'leveling frustrations' is all. I am sorry if I offended you.

The rest of the post was merely my thoughts on the Leveling in 7.3.5 that was all. Sorry if I sounded like a Blizz fan boy to you. I like their games. I just thought we were discussing 7.3.5.

Sorry again. :-\

Wow, the high road. No need to apologize and certainly no need to do it five times in one post. I just disagreed. Your post didnt sound like a fanboy, it read like a blizz dev blue post. I like their games too, I like my time even more so and I dont like seeing it wasted on time gated content.

I once submitted to blizzard that they start all players even new players off at the highest level of the lastest expansion. Using the huge world that is underused to tell the story that way or dynamic content, instead of a leveling experience that has forced alot of us into boosts. They are sorta of beginning to do some of that with the scalability of zones. They are just stuck on this 1-100 leveling bullshit. I can go 1-60 killing boars in westfall and 60-80 killing boars in Hellfire, in fact you can level 1-100 just killing boars in their respective zones. The only thing needed is time.

Most players see leveling as a means to an end. I would do stranglethorn vale at 100 instead of level 30, same story and same quests just scaled, if only they just remove a majority of the tedious time gated experience bullshit. My time is better spent avoiding stv as is at 30. Scale all the zones 100-110 or 110-120 in bfa, they could even remove character level in that case or use another metric. It would keep the entire game world current. I might be rambling or way off base.

I would really like to know why Blizzard thought it was a good idea to make obsolete (to most people) dungeons so difficult that many people can't even finish them. I don't have heirlooms; I have the gear that drops for me. It is really hard for me to imagine lots of pickup groups doing these now, or there would be more people complaining about the difficulty. Do you think these 60+ dungeons are even doable for a group in greens and quest blues? Or are they tuned for the assumption that everyone is running twinks in full heirlooms? Or did they just do this so people can't level in dungeons anymore, and are tempted to buy the level boosts?

I cannot fathom why they thought it made sense to make this game so unforgiving for a new player - or, like me, one returning after a 10-year absence.

I'm sure they thought it was a good idea at the time.
