Nearly level 50, 46-50 seemed to be quite hard, struggling to find enough quests and lots and lots of traveling! spending a lot of time in zul farrak just for xp. Did maraudon last night managed to get 70% into level 49, hopefully when i ding i can do the quests in blasted lands and ungoro.
I might spend an hour tonight leveling mining, currently 215, i guess i want to get 230+ in order to be able to mine the veins in the level 50+ zones, will be a shame to miss them while questing in the new zones!
Saw a 60 hunter yesterday with 3x giant stalker, dragon stalker helm and 2 beast stalker items. blows my mind that someone can get so geared so fast! Maybe he was the only hunter in a MC and onyxia run and got lucky with drops
Still really enjoying the game, and its still taking over my life lol

Plenty of people crying on various platforms about it.
Depending on how much you abused it, but the minimum seems to have been 1 month upto 1 year.

I know someone on another forum got a one month ban and all their profits deleted, because they showed us the notification e-mail.

How has he taken it?
Alexrnsual was streaming himself using an eagle eye macro to fly freely over the Eastern Plaguelands and once he found a Blacklotus herb he picked and would simply get an invite from his friends on a different layer and mark the spots with an addon timer. I think he said he got 15 a day he got 6 in no time did he get banned?
He should get a month ban, The rest should have thier accounts removed they must be laughing at Blizzard if i was cheating my worry is my account if they give me a up to 3 month ban i would be quite happy actually. This is the kind of carebear world we live in though no punishments and thus only incentives to do the bad things.
You can also bet they will never get them all, Things have been done and other exploits probably secretly exist because of the legion API used. So they actually managed to ruin the game in phase 1. You got to hand it to them they messed up a game they got two chances at lol!

I don't see how they've messed up exactly? Layering was a necessary evil due to huge popularity and it had some unintended side effects which are now being fixed, and those exploiting them are starting to get repercussions. If someone is still abusing layering, and you know about, submit a bug report - if you don't you're only as bad as those carrying out the exploits in the grand scheme of things.
Far from ruined, what a dramatisation.

15 black lotus per day, People still going to 60 0 lotus per day erm people already have had huge advantages in phase 1 this probably now ties into day 6 Ragnaros which in turn makes trivia of the game. People have been cheating the legion API and why do you say stupid things like necessary evil? Haha so you are telling me then they can not just repeat what happened in classic and launch with 15 servers in the EU? You have to layer it and launch with four do ya and then add more do you realize how dumb this sounds?
At no point ever was Layering required, Wow classic never had it because it can be exploited. They tried to cheap out and be arrogant and now everyone is affected by thier mistakes. Will they trace every bit of gold gained and traded by this method? Nope remember when they said they looked into the exploits and it was vastly overblown? And then the news drops that you can make 10,000 gold from layering abuse lol.
Not just that but also this... Perhaps a summon off a cliff is now also impossible classic my butt.

Blizzard completely underestimated the popularity Classic would achieve, they've outright said as much. If you can't see why it was needed, for what they were trying to achieve - an as near seamless as possible launch - then you should perhaps lower your expectations, if Blizzard are truly that terrible in your view.
They couldn't launch with 15 EU servers because they would be undermining the Retail side of WoW; bearing in mind that Classic was always touted and advertised as a "side" offering to appease a very loyal fan base. It doesn't make logical business sense (once you take your fanboi goggles off).
I'm not saying it was properly tested; but they are putting measures in place to mitigate against it going forward...
Well you asked how have blizzard messed up. The one major change from vanilla is layering and its messed up the ecosystem within a couple of weeks.
Also this exploit has been known for nearly 2 weeks. Only now are they trying to fix it. Really not acceptable for such an established company.
How does layering ruin your personal experience? My game isn't affected by other people cheating and risking a potential ban. Layering was required unfortunately, there was no perfect solution, they couldn't host 100 servers only to have 80 dead servers in 6 months time or whatever, they needed a scalable server solution, and layering works.
As with vanilla release, the inevitability of bugs of new systems they brought in would be found. And it has, I imagine some form of punishment will be taken, maybe those that have undertaken the exploit will have their gold removed.
As for the market, it will iron out in a month or so. I'm not overly fussed, I'm just glad it's this one issue that's arisen and not all of the previous ones the first time they released vanilla lol

If some people get away with making large amounts of gold this early they can control the market in some items. Anyone that has played MMOs should realise this. I remember the Miner II debacle in EVE, there was no competing with that kind of lead.
So people getting so rich they can dominate an entire servers economy has no personal affect on you? Also i never said it would ruin my experience, i am still having fun but still acknowledge that this is a problem blizzard needed to fix asap.
