Well I am 59 trying to hit 60 by running grinding profiles since I need the darn mount for BC and I notice once you have been grinding in 1 area for to long exp goes from like 340 per kill to freaking 25-35 per kill? Is this something new?
 
Yes it is a new mechanic to prevent people from grinding a certain area for too long, i think they will remove it after WoD hits (a few weeks or something).

My guess is that this was implemented to avoid the "World First 100" by exploiting the grab everything in sight and bomb it routine.

Could also be there to prevent hardcore bots/farming.

I hope it's not the latter.
 
Well this sucks cause I have to change the profile every like 30 minutes sigh.

Could use a questing profile instead? Worked fine for me in general (though the BC areas on the 1-90 mega profile pack sort of suck.)
 
Since the worldfirst lvl 85 and lvl 90 (I think it was the same guy) "cheated" his wayup to reach that achievement, they wrote in a bluepost that this new mechanic is introduced to prevent this.

(The guy hitted the mobs and his guildmates killed them)

Yeah i remember it was some French dude on a Troll hunter.

I think Athene did this on BC and Wrath.
 
But they removed his achievement becauso of abuse of game mechanics.

As far as I rembember the bluepost this feature will stay in tge game and will not be removed. Another reason for this was that questmobs were often grindet and other players could not continue their quests.

And of course tge bots, but they did not mention them in the post. But it was obvious because no normal player grinds the same mobs for 5h a day.

And in my oppinion blizzard is ok with bots as long as other players don't notice them and they have no influence on other players. Grinding was always obvious for other players. I often get whispers when I grind by hand to farm stuff.

So this might be the end if grinding as we know it.

Thats why we have questing botbase. It could easy change the grinding zone, so the handycap reset.

Not to mention, lots of grinding profiles are for pure profit, not for leveling only ;)

Won't work, if you use Kick's one you'll be 57/58/59 when you're done Pre-TBC, and the profile won't load without a flying mount since it keeps running to the mount vendor to buy one and learn it.
 
I just used kicks 58-70 profile and it worked fine used a ground mount until 60 in hellfire and then it purchased flying. Only problem was getting it to hellfire since they moved the portal.
 
Ok so they just said that after 10 mobs in the same area the xp and loot will be nerfed to 10%...Did we just lose a huge chunk of our botting capabilities?
 
once you're able to fly I suggest running Archeology bot, you will get 3-4K per fragment which means less time wasted as well, but w/e if you wanna grind endlessly and waste a week on grinding instead of a few days that's up to you lol...
 
I'm finding dungeons are good exp if you are healing. Just have to tweak the singular profiles a bit.
