Leveling

Above everything else, for me at least, Legion was the expansion of alts.

We're coming very closely to the release of a new WoW expansion, which means a new level cap -- and new ways to try to avoid that grind.

Patch 8.0 brought together several changes to player stats, mob scaling, and sharding (the technical wizardry used to separate players).

Back in patch 7.3.5, the World of Warcraft developers rebalanced the game's low level content and intentionally slowed down the rate at which characters level up.

I've been quietly farming different pets, mounts, and toys over the past couple of weeks.

In Battle for Azeroth, PVP and PVE servers are going by the wayside.

While leveling my Lightforged Draenei, I've had her kitted out with heirloom gear.

I have to admit, most of the Allied Race enthusiasm passed me by.

The Legion expansion has officially gone on long enough that I have almost every class at max level -- and reasonably well-geared, thanks to Argus.

If you've been paying attention, you've noticed that there's been some talk about the Item Squish in Battle for Azeroth and especially on the current alpha.
