wow Extremely Fast Level 60 Method, Possibly Unintended?

Well, we're cutting it really close with potential unintended interactions ahead of the Shadowlands launch, as there's currently a way to farm the Necrotic Wake dungeon for some very big XP gains on the beta. Also just to note before we start, this won't really be useful for regular players, as you still have to finish the full storyline of Shadowlands to access endgame activities.

Spotted at Pieces guild member Dan's stream, the method is pretty simple - you just zone in to the dungeon, make a really big pull from the initial mobs, kill them for the big XP, leave the instance group (and since it's a pre-made 5-man there's no deserter debuff) and re-queue. This is only really relevant for the Necrotic Wake because of the giant mass of mobs at the very start, and this method should be significantly faster for speed leveling than any other ones. While no one here is doing anything wrong, as this is the way instance resets normally work, there's not even any specifically "clever use of game mechanics" type thing happening, but the specifics of this dungeon make it a little too good, so it's a question of whether it's intended to be or not.

The method should get players to 60 in under 3 hours, if the XP ratio from the beta goes live. As you can see from the video below, it's not quite trivial to pull off, and you'll need some ok gear and quite a bit of skill!

As there will be plenty of players going for World First 60, this isn't exactly a trivial matter, not to mention the huge potential for leveling alts this way (which is also very important for the World First raid race, but less so because they'd still have to finish the main story), so it remains to be seen if this technique makes it to live. If it does we'll probably be seeing our first level 60 using this, since it's looking to be a lot faster than anything else currently doable (although who knows, there's plenty of other creative players out there that might find even better solutions)!

guess we've found the new Freehold equivalent

This was my first thought, but if people still need to do the story, is there a point in doing it this way?

Alts that go through Threads of Fate! Also world first 60 race.

this.alts can skip the story,meaning if this goes live,having an alt army will be much easier (plus you can just do the story at 60 anyways)
