At the moment the hotfixes are rolling out for World of Warcraft almost every day, and last night there were again bug fixes and adjustments.

As many of you will have noticed, the Battle of Azeroth Fixed a lot of scaling issues pre-patch. Many low-level monsters were suddenly excessively powerful or took a long time to kill. That made the level process quite a pain, especially for newbies.

With today's hotfix, the World of Warcraft designers at Blizzard have therefore reduced the melee and spell damage of all creatures up to level 100, sometimes up to 16%. The life points of creatures in the level range 15 - 100 have also been reduced, sometimes even by 24%.
