Nerf aimed at the wrong crowd

WoW Classic Cataclysm Classic Discussion

I understand why you want to nerf boosting. I get that it removes a big aspect of the game and all that, but why dont you just add a xp-nerf instead of making the entire dungeon un-soloable?

Soloing content for gold has been a thing since classic, and this nerf hits the wrong crowd.

Let us have fun, farm gold and solo whatever content we are able to!
This nerf will just lead to more goldbuying in wotlk.

Also:

I’m not saying this because I don’t do daily quests or whatever the other guys in the forum are suggesting. This is a big part of the game for alot of players, its just f’in stupid. Fix the main problem!!

Bots do those dungeons you hit two targets with one stone this way

You also punish legit players for playing the game how they want.

This is a bad “fix”.

If they really wanted to get rid of bots, they would

If they wanted to get rid of them for real they would have to spend money on getting actual GMs they wont do that so they nerf the 2 dungeons that are most heavly bot farmed right now for raw gold. Specificaly targeting the two classes that do those farms as well

You can still solo dungeons. It’s just not as fast as before and you’ve to pull less mobs.

Surely you can still solo it by pulling less mobs and taking a bit longer?

Atleast not for Stratholme. The mobs in there will stunlock so there is no chance.

I just think they didnt think this one through. Why put additional stuff ontop of the xp nerf?

What? An aspect which is open for only 1 or 2 classes is “big”?

Too late fix. Not yet a fix. 3 entire years…

The rmt mages fcuked up all classic experience. We couldnt find any leveling groups, dead world…

Go cry somewhere else.

I thought they only stunlocked if you did a big pull (like 20+ mobs)? What about small packs of say 5?

I see you don’t play either pala or mage.

Yes, this is a big aspect of the game for many people, and it has been for many years. Soloing content and farming gold that is.

I understand that they want to get rid of RMT, but this is the wrong way to go about it.
“go cry somewhere else” what kind of answer is that? sounds to me like you are just jealous you dont have one of the classes that are capable of doing this.

Go on youtube and look up content from original vanilla - people were soloing stuff even back then.

The gold farms were so simple that a monkey could do them so the bots were doing them as well, they cant fix that problem wihtout ether spending more money than they want to or by making it so that dungeon farming is harder to do ergo more people able to report them more of a chance that the bots get detected by just the numbers of reports.

No need. I was there. Yes there were people trying to solo something 18 years ago but was very very niche. Maybe some stockades for friends. But that was all.

People were leveling outside, grouping, enjoying…

That word “soloing” has destroyed mmorpg genre. Blizzard listened too much that crowd.

I understand why they nerf xp-boosting man, but the gold farming. wtf is this crap? you are stuck doing dailies because blizz cant fix botting?

So damn mad. They killed my main server and my only reason to play outside of raid in 1 week. Good f’in job

18

So you say soloing dungeons is the only way of gold farming?

Nvm im out.
No time for crybabies.

19

If you don’t like dailies, then no. At this point there are no other ways of farming gold.

There are still bots everywhere.
You obviously dont get the point.

How would that be any different for people getting boosts?
