Wtf are these devs thinking are they even still playing the game? Wtf is going on in their removed heads,yet a nother proof how out of touch they are with the player base. Literal NPCs.
Finally!
I would IMAGINE the buff is party-wide and not instance-group wide. If it isn't right now, I imagine that's the intent and will be fixed.
This is such a terrible 'solution'. As a lot of people have pointed out, the potential for trolling/griefing is incredible, but it also means if you have XP turned off, unless you want to be an inadvertent griefer, you basically can't join groups. I have XP turned off on my Feral druid because I don't want to lose her active legendaries, so I've locked her at 115. But this means I can never run her in any group content, never queue her for even something as simple/easy as a normal island to farm for mounts, because I risk screwing over other people. The same will be true for, say, low level twinks who want to farm for gear and join standard dungeon queues or like the person up there who locks their XP at lower levels so their friend can catch up - well they're going to inadvertently end up screwing over everyone else in the dungeon. Holy hell, Blizzard, talk about hunting bunnies with a damn nuclear missile. As so many others have said: who gives a damn if people level fast? If you want to do the BFA outdoor content (WQs), you have to have done the zones on one character anyway, so those guys will see Blizzard's precious content, and after that let them level how they like. If people don't do outdoor content (stick to PVP/Raids/Mythic+) let them level how they want from scratch. But nope, apparently there's only one right way to play....okay, I might have got a bit carried away, but this is just such a perfect example of the kinds of decisions Blizzard has been making lately, I'm not even sorry.
Blizzard is mad that people were leveling easily instead of paying for level boosts.Oh well, less players for them. That's saying something considering they are at record lows for sub numbers.
level 120 character boost coming out soon.
So you're going to punish people who aren't participating in this behavior if suddenly someone in your Random queue has it turned off?Should just place them in a separate queue, its 3 people.
will this affect lower bracket ie: lvl60 twinks?
If it takes you two hours to level what takes me days because I don't use an exploit, you're hurting the game by having folks like me throw up their hands potentially and say "if Blizzard allows cheating, then they're encouraging it, so I'll go play a game where the devs care. Yeah, it hurts the game because other people get mad that folks who do this garbage trivialize the game to such a massive degree that, if the devs don't do something to stop it like this, I will go play another game.
That's so cute that you think you know sub numbers. Blizzard is hiring people for this game. Sure, you know, companies always throws money at failures. Sure thing. Prove it.
