Comment by dusty97Here come the "FUN DETECTED BLIZZ HATES FUN" posts.Comment by MightylorddkAh yes, "fun" once again being defined in fascinating ways, such as "kill eight wasps."Comment by KelrasImagine anyone falls out of Blizzard's narrowly defined leveling experience boat. :^)

The player agency expansion.Comment by MightyMoonWormBellular... your video...Comment by Setsuna665and just like that the wod xpac is empty outside of people showing up for a chance at mounts or xmogComment by SaracaliaWell, saw this coming from a mile away.Comment by SaltLBIt makes sense why they did it because the experience from the objectives lasted well into the Legion level ranges. In 2 hours time, you could finish bonus objectives from Frostfire, Gorgrond, Talador, and Nagrand and enter Legion zones at 106/107 as a horde player and then spend 20 minutes flying around opening chests to hit 110.Comment by RrezzYou have to make sure people buy those level boosts somehow. They are a small indie studio afterall.Comment by AerisotThis is the stuff they're working on instead of fixing De Other Side.Comment by Lautner"Fun detected"

I've been abusing the hell out of these. You can level faster at level 100-103 in WARLORDS than in Legion. Just hit these objectives, use all your xp pots. And compare them to the Legion objectives, which give significantly fewer.

However, leveling in PTR is MUUUUCH faster than live even with the 100% xp buff.

Anyone crying about this nerf is just looking for something to complain about.Comment by couchpotato2013You have to make sure people buy those level boosts somehow.

Yeah the bonus objectives have been nerfed a bit in xp but the questing, which people often flout as being really good, should remain unchanged.

Good.Comment by ZachenWhy is this a priority whatsoever when so much of the new content has issues still? Priorities, Blizzard, PLEASE.Comment by 1612147This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by KelrasAnd WoD questing remains the same.

I think this is actually a good decision. If they left it in, people would choose WoD by default because it's the fastest. This will encourage people to pick diff x-pacs from time to time now, and enjoy other stories, rather than picking the "Best" one in terms of speed.Comment by shadowedscholarIt's not a huge surprise that they would change it since it was already the fastest expansion to level in.Comment by Stoneheart98Can't believe some people actually expected them not to nerf this. Please just don't comment.Comment by EastBI wish streamers and YouTube stars would stop highlight these “fun” things. All it does is force Blizzard to step in and change them because “fun detected”. At LEAST wait to broadcast them once they are live and people have a chance to enjoy them for a while before publicity brings the nerf bat.

These e-personalities are throwing the players under the bus in pursuit of increasing their own financial situation through clicks and views.Comment by DraconaxDefinitely figured this had to happen, otherwise WoD would be the only expansion to level in, rendering all the other expac content meaningless.
