Comment by BillredskinDespite what the map says, the starting zones actually scale 1-20, instead of 1-10 (checked on a level 40 character). Could be a bug, but it makes sense that way. People outlevel the starting zones too. Now they should be able to finish the story.Comment by BillredskinI don't fully understand right now. Does it scale my 110 character to 60 in Vanilla zones? Or does it not scale me anymore if I surpass the lvl 60? I'm just wondering if this will make soloing dungeon content harder since the mobs will scale to my maxed character. But yeah, this is very welcomed change and I'm gonna love it either way!Comment by Gyrospark>Warlords of Draenor zones already scale to level 100 and nothing has changed.

No, WoD doesnt scale, each zone has its own level.Comment by DKong27So now Death Knights can jump straight to Northrend? It feels like that should've been the case anyway, it was weird to start the story and then go backwards for 10 levels.

Also Loremaster changes are great, some zones were very finicky about doing quests in the right order to meet the requirement. Missing out on breadcrumb quests could really set you back.Comment by Naythen12Imagine how much faster the 15-60 dungeon qs would be....Comment by mooopNo no no no PLEASE no. Stop with the level scaling bull&*!@. Absolutely ZERO sense of progression, wherever you go the mobs are all on your level, this is discouraging and it is a bad mechanic.Comment by SoeroahNo no no no PLEASE no.

I might just have to start a new account to level up all those characters.Comment by kingganonfinally going to get loremaster now thanks to these changes!Comment by mascaramassacreWonder what this means for soloing old raids........ better not #$%^ that up. plus leveling was that hard anyways......

Yessssssssssssssssssssssss and I thought being able to actually experience the stories of zones while not just 1 shotting everything was going to be good. This is just fantastic.Comment by ChaosDecidesBeing able to skip Outland entirely is a blessing.Comment by greeneggI wonder why blasted lands is unlisted, is the scaling just not set up in that zone yet, or is something going to go down there?
