Through a blue post on the forums Blizzard has identified that the prime cause of this was xp gained through dungeons. It was scaled up a bit to high in combination with all the quests being available at the start of the dungeon.


In my expirience I could get 2+ levels in one dungeon run through dungeons like BFD.


Blizzard is going to scale back the xp in dungeons to try and fix this. If you are straight questing with no dungeons you'll probably be ok for the most part. You may still run into some green quests but they shouldn't grey out on you.



My experience differs.


I've done one dungeon, Deadmines, and I can tell the speed is quite faster just from quests and mobs alone. Again, pretty much, the little things added up.


Added fly points to kill downtime, experience from nodes, new daily quests in the Stormwind, are just a few examples.


If dungeons are the 'prime' cause, I didn't do them from levels 1-30 to notice in the three days it took to get to level 30.


That's Elwynn/Stormwind, Westfalls, and Redridge with a taste of Darkshire toward level 29-30 if I recall.


That's ten levels per day playing as casual as it gets or ten levels per zone.


Again, if i recall correctly, it took me about three weeks to a month or more in vanilla to hit level 30. Definitely not three days.


So, yes, it's noticeable.

Right well we know that leveling is faster then ever before either way. Questing alone is still plenty fast. But I ran through BFD and got from level 24 to just over 26 or so If I am remember correctly. I leveled mid way through the dungeon and then again handing in the quests at the end.


Deadmines is not a huge culprit, its a pricky quick instance, but even so as you progress through it you to complete, what.. 4 quests? That is a lot of extra xp.


So not ALL dungeons fall into this category, another big one I hear is Scholo. It all matters how many mobs there are in the dungeon combined with all the quests offered, It can give you a pretty big jump. Even one full level through a dungeon is a lot IMO and you can easily get that.

See Arden? This is how you do it. Learn from the master.


I just got Arc to say that all he was doing in this thread was flinging his own crap around. Pwnt.


Furthermore, the fact that Arc would refer to my crap as a delicious dessert is disturbing beyond measure.


So lets recap. In one post I got Arc to say his posting is the equivalent to flinging his own feces around, AND he likes to eat crap.

Agreed.

True, but I would not call it a pwnt since the only one that did not see it was Arden. So no pwnt.
