If you really think that then the ways we see the game do not align.
Well, it functions that way.
I will point out that I can’t stand that game design, but it IS how the game is designed these days nonetheless. I hate the fact.
I hate boosts also, but I will still use them for arguing points because I am simply aware of reality.
You should appreciate my agenda here, which is simply opening up the last 10 levels outside Shadowlands at the tail of the expansion.
Would I not make this argument if the levelling experience and the endgame experience were wonderfully interweaved? You know, in ways like shared content and an overall sense of community? No, I wouldn’t.
For instance I would not be in favour of allowing levelling to 70 in Vanilla zones in TBC Classic, because for all the damage Blizzard have done that game is still built as an MMO first.
The covenant system - and features isn’t available for chars under level 60 anyway. Threads of Fate lets one join a covenant earlier, but full access to features is still restricted to level 60.

The point is NOTHING is lost achieving 60 in other ways. As I keep saying - and in fact is relevant despite protestations - the 60 boost has been a method to accomplish exactly that and that’s been in available for some time.
It’s how levelling is effectively some weird ‘thing one does’ before the ‘real game’ starts at 60. As I said, I strongly dislike that aspect of modern gaming, but it’s also ridiculous to think that it’s going to ever go back to how things used to be. It would require changes that no way in the 17th pits of hell would the modern gamer accept-- things like levelling taking longer and less convenience.
Personally levelling IS the only game for me, because I despise the endgame hamster wheel so much. I like to get to max level, because obviously levelling is about the journey, and it’s also about getting to the top.

I am not agiasnt your idea but it would take a lot more than just a “hotfix” because they already said its coming in 10.00 which means they are building it around new talents and scaling.
Also you are being very aggersive towards others for no reason and only seeing your view as the correct view its a public forum others are allowed there view but when you say “fact” its only your fact nothing else.
Scaling is universally available, and that can be demonstrated by the use of Party Sync. It’s already in the game! Albiet it with restrictions that make it extremely awkward and in fact unfeasible.
So maybe not a hotfix, but it cannot be some huge undertaking. They will not be building talents around 50-60, because that in Dragonflight will be previous world content-- and as we all should know by now anything that isn’t the current expansion is consigned to digital oblivion and neglect.
Party Sync requires a second character; and most importantly it isn’t meant to be used as a standard levelling device for the supporting character-- as when you leave group or log out all progress is lost.
All of those suggestions are in fact Shadowlands content, except Timewalking which means the only option then is spamming dungeons. So why would I ask for Chromie Time if that was my intent? To open up all zones.
What you call aggressive I call exasperation. It really does seem people often take up a stance against something with no evidence of benefit on their behalf-- which rather suggests they do so out of spite or boredom.
I have leveled 24 x 60s so far and have another 26 x 50s+ to go so like i said i am not agaisnt your idea at all just stated my views on your views.
Again, Party Sync demonstrated that it’s already in the game. As in all the scaling tech working for previous expansion content for 50-60 characters.
Party Sync is not a useable method though, because of the limitations.
It just means the reason why it isn’t in the game now isn’t technical, it’s a game design choice. Also, I don’t believe it’s to sell more boosts (because who would level 1-50 and then only boost to 60 for a whopping £50).
It likely is just a choice of “It’s the current expansion.” and that’s it. That does however conflict with the existence of a max level boost (because one can skip the Shadowlands levelling entirely). It’s also the case that these games don’t really have any kind of meaningful connection between levelling and endgame. I cannot see what would lost; but I can see quite a bit gained for so little effort. I’d wager many would welcome having the option of something close to 100 zones to level in, over 4.
Never said anything about it no idea why you keep bringing it up to me as a “fact”
All i said is we can not expect a “10.00” feature to be brought forward due to reason’s earliest we can expect is maybe a month before.
It wasn’t meant to be a wall of text to try and say you’re completely wrong.
I don’t really see how it’s a Dragonflight feature. I mean Chromie Time isn’t new is it? This is Shadowlands content we’re talking about. Honestly this isn’t like expecting Dracythyr to be brought forward.
I mean come on, this change is not going to effect sales of Dragonflight.
Well, I think this is exactly the kind of change that belongs in the last patch of an expansion. People are undoubtedly fatigued of the current world, so it makes rather good sense to open up more older stuff to add variety. People at this point have surely seen it and done it at this point.
If your intent is to just say “Well, it ain’t gonna happen.” then that’s not adding much to the conversation is it? Surely it’d be rather more constructive to explain to me why it’s a bad idea, or perhaps a good one.

I have some chars I’d like to level ready for next Xpac but cannot stomach going through SL zones again. I think this idea would be great.

Been wondering same, cant see why specially at this point of SL.
i do have some alts that id like to do 50-60 in other expansions
and maybe xp lock them at 58 because getting booted when you hit max level is not fun
the thassarian quest chain in borean tundra? has a trinket reward for alliance
and for horde one quest chain rewards a blue 2h axe
Threads of fate allows you to farm a huge chunk of your renown for example.
I don’t know many who carry on doing the storyline levelling over and over if they are bored with alts.
Exactly, going Threads of Fate at level 50 only allows one to farm renown till level 60, something which isn’t even possible when doing the storyline. So I do not see how allowing Chromie time till level 60 interferes with anything significantly covenantwise.

Can get instant 60 renown from vendor next to flight path in Oribos for 500g

Yes exactly!
I hate Shadowlands leveling, but I don’t imagine Blizzard will change the Chromie time thing until the next expansion.
If I could just quest between Eastern Kingdoms, Outland, Northrend and Draenor, I’d be happy
