All this squish drama is getting really boring

You giving yourself too much credit.
Your opinion worth as much as anyone elses, and people have different priorities.

So what your call “illogical” just doesn’t affect you so you can’t comprehend why it’s logical for others.

Please do check some of the anti-squish topics and try to find sound reasoning there.

If the level squish goes through Im quitting wow permanently

I wouldn’t like it but it wouldn’t make me quit, it is after all just a number.

One from the front page, 10+ upvotes. The guy’s reasoning is literally “Maybe for you, but it will completely ruin all the work I’ve put into my twinks.”

We have no idea how exactly the stat squish is going to happen but this guy is already unsubbing because of how some minuscule part of the leveling squish may play out. His lvl 60 twinks might just become lvl 30 twinks with the same power level and nothing changed, but he is already heralding a worst case scenario and the end of wow and has lots of upvotes.

This was just an example, there are lots like that.

My opinions are worth as much as anyone elses who takes the time to put the necessary reasoning behind them. But barely anyone does, just like with the wod and bfa squish arguments that turned out to be mostly wrong.

Sadly it’s very hard to find people on these forums who can actually defend their arguments and believe me I’ve tried. I like arguing with people who can, so feel free to reply.

Blizzard should drop the idea of level squishing and focus more on creating good content and balancing the classes. Or otherwise things will again get messed up.

Yes, there are tons of different ways they could make the leveling better, but to dramatically improve it it’d need a complete rework and that’d probably take years. I’m quite sure they wouldn’t sacrifice years worth of resources on leveling, when they admit that the end-game is the game.

Level squish (if they decrease leveling time too) would be a good bandage. Yes, there are tons of better ways, but nothing as fast and efficient in the short term.

And what is the problem with having more than 120 level? You have ESO as MMO with more than 1k level for the player.

The problem is that leveling in ESO is interesting because it’s not filled with garbage “gather 20 kill 20 kill 1 big dude” quests without any story behind them. Also, getting to max level (it’s 50 I believe?) in ESO takes significantly less time, and end-game content is not gated behind mastery levels above 170. Also, mastery level is account bound (or whatever it’s called, it’s been a while since I’ve played).
Getting to 120 in WoW with full heirlooms usually takes several weeks or even months if you can only play 2-3 hours a day, while in eso you can be done in a week. ESO’s system is not perfect either, but at least they’ve put the effort into making quests interesting. I despise the combat tho.
