It’s called the Season of Mastery, not the Season of Taking an Easy Ride to High Levels in Short Order, which is probably why WoW Classic’s latest update to the seasonal content’s beta has done away with powerleveling tactics altogether, as the game now awards significantly less XP to players who kill a creature while in a group with one or more players who are at a much higher level than the creature that was slain.
In addition to this nerfing, several foes in Stratholme and Mauraudon saw some adjustments, mostly focused on changing their immunity to snares and roots in an attempt to make certain methods of kiting, gathering, and killing large groups of enemies “much more precarious and inefficient.”
The update also raises test character level caps to 60, removes world buffs like Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer, Warchief’s Blessing, and others when players enter an instance, and removes the debuff limit cap on enemy units among other changes. Overall, it’s a list of tweaks players will want to know about.
