WONDERING - why no BATTLE LEVES for SB & ShB?

[Fynlar]

I agree with Fynlar. The devs should put hours of work into writing a bunch of repeatable quests that nobody does instead of actual content. I'd much rather be /beckoning an NPC than fighting a god in a visual and musical masterpiece.

They're totally lazy for not doing this and instead choosing to put resources elsewhere.

It really isn't a one or the other scenario here, you know. Nice try on the snark though.

Because the expansion just dropped? Try three months ago or even in 4.3.

I'm not talking about Shadowbringers here at all. I'm talking about late in ARR/HW/SB when many players have already reached the level cap. Still ran into many people doing roulettes and DD that were capped because of other rewards that they wanted.

Yes, because dropping support for leves and putting those resources into something people much enjoy a lot more than a generic fetch quest or kill six bunnies is totally cutting corners. I forgot how much people enjoyed that in ARR.

This argument would hold more merit if we actually saw returns on those redirected "resources", but we didn't.

Instead we went from things like 3 dungeons a patch in ARR to 2 in HW to 1.5 in SB, stuff like the tons of quests with no journal entries as I mentioned before when every quest used to have one, and in exchange for all this we got ultimates which the majority of the playerbase can't even attempt, and Eureka which is its own whole other can of worms.

If battle leves gave enough experience you could grind from 70 to 80 in a day... you'd see queue times increase dramatically.

1) I'm not saying they have to be ridiculously buffed to the point it makes the new grind trivial. All I'm asking is for something that's above the current abysmal value they have
2) Powergrinding one job to the new cap in a day isn't really a huge deal when people can already do that with dungeons. Leves are also finite. Use them all up and you're waiting a couple weeks to have another batch. That's enough of an artificial restriction, I would think. Considering this limitation, they really ought to be worth more anyway.
