The Xp and the PL problem are not "Fixed"

[Wynn]

But right now for a casual player it probably does take 1 month to hit a cap. I run a site dedicated to this data, all the data points from new characters to a long pushed out grind.

People think that all new players will join and hit 50 in 4 days and it does not work like this. If you are hardcore sure it will but that is not the hardcore route.

You either prolong hardcore levelling so that casuals are fked and have to wait months, Or you keep it how it is so casual players can take a month+ to hit 50 where as hardcores can do it in no time atall.

and guess what, everyones playing more often now.

For now, until they hit cap in every class next week and then just stand around in uldah complaining that there is nothing to do.
