7.3.5 Leveling changes are awful, here's why.

I'm going to preface here and say this isn't directed at just you, but the collective group against these changes:

We had plenty of time to test these changes on PTR, even encouraged by the devs so we could fine tune this to the way everyone wanted it to be. Most of the responses I seen here were just "no incentive? no thanks!" and others just completely ignoring the chance.

This all traces back to the months, years of feedback and complaints of the community telling Blizzard the leveling process was too quick - and sure it was, I used to see "new" players who were already getting ready for LFR after a single week of grinding from the bottom-up.

Finally: think back to what this game was over a decade ago. People were hitting double-digit days in /played only to reach level 60. No heirlooms, no easy way to dungeons, and so on.
