Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9445671" data-attributes="member: 18">Yeah this is a strange and rather unusually stupid decision from Blizzard, primarily for two reasons:1) The influx of OP level 70 characters will be over in like literally 1-2 weeks, then people will be on to undergeared alts and new characters, and making 70-75 harder (assuming that's all they've done, as they seem to indicate) will just really punish a lot of very undergeared characters and make stuff that's currently pleasant to go through into a horrible chore. That's going to act as a drag on people arriving later in the expansion, and will cause more people to flame out before actually hitting 80.As a result I expect this will be quietly reversed at some point, probably by or on 11.0.5, but it's still just stupid. They should have just made enemies scale with gear as well as level slightly from 70-75 - we know they can do this from past examples.2) By doing after literally everyone who had the paid ($40) Early Access, they're making it look like they're kind of crooks turning what was really a meaningless non-advantage into an actual P2W advantage. That too will be forgotten in a few months, but then it will be remembered again very strongly next expansion, and people will be very angry when Blizzard tries to sell them Early Access again, and much, much more critical towards Blizzard.They're essentially storing up trouble. They should have just not done it and let nature take its course.</blockquote>
