Might aswell make an instant level 70 boost NPC.

by Kapwe » Tue Mar 08, 2016 12:39 am

Not sure if it's intended but currently a lot of people are boosting themselves to level 70 by purchasing PvP marks for free at one of the custom NPC in Ironforge and then turning them up to the Warsong PvP area in Ashenvale. (Same can be done on horde side).

I don't really know what can really be tested by doing so since all mobs melee for 1 (so testing level 70 dungeons is pointless at the moment), but if it's going to stay, might aswell save those people time (it takes like 2 hours of travelling between capital city and Ashenvale) and allow the creation of level 70 characters.

Highest level done in a legit way (be it grinding or questing) is level 63 as far as I know.

Thats honestly sad to hear.
The whole point of this test is to check out bugs for the quests and dungeons mainly. If people are going to avoid that then the testing phase is going to take years.

While you are right and all those things need to be tested, there is a large portion of players who are only here (and only will be playing the full release server) for PvP and have no interest in testing out questing and leveling.

There will be players who enjoy questing and leveling that will take the time to test those aspects, so I don';t see this as a big issue.

You are absolute right, and therefore only two level 60 dungeons are being put up for test. At least last time I looked ....

Yes but melee mobs in most of them do 1 damage because they haven't been set up for testing yet.

It's fixed, but there are still a bunch of exploiters running around on 70s. Good thing PVP flags are turned off for the time being.
