WoW devs defends The War Within leveling changes as ‘minimal’ after player outrage

In response to a flood of community criticism over changes to the leveling system in The War Within, World of Warcraft developers Blizzard has declared the impact on time will be “minimal” as it looks to reassure frustrated players.

The surprise expansion adjustments, first announced in an official post on Aug. 29, were made to address WoW players entering the new content with powerful gear from the Dragonflight expansion. Community manager Kaivax explained a hotfix would increase the difficulty of enemies, particularly for those at level 70, to bring the combat duration in line with the game’s typical pacing. This bold decision didn’t sit well with many in the WoW community and was quickly lambasted across social media and forums.
