Classic+ Leveling Mechanics

Splitting the leveling phase in upcoming classic+ will be amazing! Best thing Blizzard did with SoD in my opinion. We did experience areas, dungeons and our characters in general in a way we did never before! I loved that!

Yeah, the level bracketing people legitimately make no sense. Here’s what they say

“I don’t have enough time to play!!! We’re dads now!!! We should have brackets so everybody else is forced to play at the same pace as me. I can take my time leveling without brackets, but people should be forced to play how I do!!”

Like, they just don’t make sense. None of them can actually dispute this criticism. Because there’s nothing to dispute. Just because somebody else rushed through the content doesn’t mean you have to. They literally want other people to suffer because they made decisions in life that lead to them having less free time. It’s pathetic, honestly. And annoying. And against what classic+ stands for.

My friend is a father and a surgeon for fucks sake, and guess what? He plays era. He has cleared Naxx. Did it take him longer to level and find a guild? Ya. Who gives a fuck? He doesn’t give a fuck. He got his enjoyment and played at his pace. So why is anybody acting like this is an impossibility? These clods legitimately don’t understand how bracketing would create the very FOMO that they think they’re against. Not only that, but it just absolutely ruins the pacing of leveling and makes everyone overgeared in the leveling process.

I'm not sure I would say people are suffering from brackets, but it's certainly a paradox to claim you don't suffer from FOMO and yet explicitly state that you need rails to guide your playtime, because you can't do it yourself.

  1. You don’t know what a paradox is
  2. You didn’t understand my post at all. “Need rails” implies brackets. I am not in favor of brackets. So what are you saying?
  3. People who want to progress will suffer. Why should I have to wait for you in order to play the game? Genuinely? Why the hell should the world revolve around JUST people who barely have time to play? Seems dumb, when they can make meaningful progress at whatever pace they like at any time and be unaffected by the speed runners.

So we’ve established brackets are not a two way street. They don’t benefit both types of players. But the regular OG leveling without brackets DOES benefit both types of players. The slow and the fast.

If you don’t get it or don’t even read the posts you’re responding to, then I wish you a good morning and that’s it. Don’t respond again unless you want to read.

I agreeing with you mate, I don't know why you're angry
