Like the pandaria and winter veil BOe AND boa ones…
i still cant sell my stock of 30+ pots. keep undercut by bots who as non-humans dont have a life. so what can i do? u turn this items that are worth 20k each + into 1copper? why not just leave them as is? it’s niche item that was farmed with lots of effort in MOP…

I agree. The whole “leveling will be faster” reasoning honestly feels like an excuse to remove/wreck the functionality of anything that boosts XP gain…

to sell boosts?? hmm
you won’t need them in sl you’ll level so fast you’ll be max level before you know it
Well atm just by doing the main story line you will not ding max level at all you need to do all side quests and leveling speed in Beta will not be the same speed as when it goes live it has already been said .

They changed that in a build a few days ago so you should hit max doing the main quest lines.

In a way it sucks they removed them, but at the same time i think it’s good that i don’t need 1312312 potions and 2412312 buffs in order to level fast and efficiently.
The BfA commendation vendor potions still work tho.
Thank you i havent played it in a couple day good to have that info .

The rare in MOP that dropped the xp buff should drop a note that provides a link to the character boost on the store, The truth is quick xp items(and xp rate) started getting messed around with when character boosts showed up in the store. I wonder why that is? Coincidence? I think not.

The boosts came with MoP and XP potions dropped also in WOD from festive event but i can see what you are getting at .
They shouldnt remove things at all tbh .

Yes, the item didnt hurt anything because it stops working after level 99 anyway. They could have let it work until lvl 35/40 or w/e, but I guess they really want us to level at a normalized rate or swipe our creditcards.

But you still don’t. Even after change (which was very small) you don’t hit max level by doing main story AND side quests (no rested xp, no WM bonus). Doing JUST main story leaves you somewhere between lvl 57-58 and doing main story and all side quests leaves you to 59 and bit.
edit: to add, there is threads testing this in both EU and US forums, here is link to US one because it has more posts. On the end part you can see results from current build:

I’m sure Blizz is increasing the base leveling speed in Shadowlands precisely because they want to sell more level boosts.
I think it’s basically to speed up levelling from the ground up in trade of losing the additions
So everyone levels fast and at the same pace.
Super fast levelling for everyone instead of super fast levelling for the rich, and level boost for those without the time 
I doubt removing layers to levelling realistically is to upsell boosts.
They’re making it easier, less effort and less expensive to fast track a new char to max level by speeding up the levelling massively at the ground level instead of layering on optional costs to levelling.
If anything having the layers means players without the xp potions and more may feel they need to boost instead
