That's a good point. Gaining levels is irrelevent if you don't get anything new and there has to be a limit to how long max level takes, so why do we have 120 levels?The game is 15 years old. They tried to turn leveling back into a slower, more dangerous experience a few patches ago. It was absolutely terrible and nobody liked it.
Classic is one thing. It makes sense since there are only 60 levels, and it's engaging because it's a brand new world again (though one we've already played through). Forcing people to slog through 120 levels where you aren't getting any new skills for 10-20 levels at a time is not a good experience. In fact it fucking sucks.
I almost said something last week like "I don't get why leveling still exists" then I remembered there are people who buy boosts. I wonder if they make more off of services or subs.but then how could we sell boost for $60 a pop?
I think they are trying to build communities. The whole rest of the game can be played with random strangers. They wanted one activity that you at least need to strive to build up a friendship base.I can't think of a single specific reason why mythic is locked to your current server other than server transfers. There's literally no other reason than that.
They unlock them region-wide like heroic/normal after the first 100 horde and 100 alliance guilds full clear a tier but it's kind of retarded. Server identity hasn't existed in over a decade so what's the point in keeping this locked?
Only logical thing I can think of is transfers. They have to make a shit ton of money off of mythic raiders bouncing around.

They already do, but only for connected realms. So the tech is there.They could have mixed server guilds too, but the only reason they don't is for the transfer money.
Shit I just got another 120 without doing any questing. Between invasions, and a few dungeons with full herilooms + xp potion from 7th legion vendor + dark moon fair it goes really fast.Yea so I'm probably going to cancel my sub after a month of playing. I wanted to just do M+ with about 4-5 characters like Legion but slogging through all the different systems on multiple characters is beyond gay in this expansion. If I have to go through the story one more time...
But holy shit do I feel for the art team. Some of the zones and art work are top notch in this expansion. It's too bad that it's all wasted by dumb fucking game design.
I'm not even interested in staying around for 8.2
BTW why don't Blizzard make farming alts easier again? There are literally 34 ways to play the game yet they cock block 99% of them behind gay ass time gating bullshit, or just mind numbingly boring progression (leveling is gay Blizzard, time to change it back to dungeon running)
