Has XP gain changed at all?
Will going from 89-90 take any less time than it did before the patch?

Substantially.

I guess I don't really get the point. What is the difference between a non-progression, out of date content boss taking 8 seconds vs 20 for a level capped character in the grand scheme of things?
The things they prioritize sometimes...
It takes about 30 quests to hit 90 from 89. Find some lost treasures if you can, gives a significant amount of xp. I went from 87-90 yesterday in about 3 hours. Maybe less.

When I logged out before the patch, I was 700k/12.5m from level 87 to 88. When I logged back in, I was 599,999/600,000 from level 87 to 88. So the amount of exp required to level has dropped by about 95%. Quests and monster exp have also changed though. Previously, an average quest would reward about 133k exp, and now it rewards about 13.3k exp.
To put this in simpler terms, previously it would have taken you 12.5m / 133k = 94 quests to level (ignoring monster kills), and now it takes you about 600k/13.3k = 45 quests to level. So yes, the difference is huge.
Oh hey world of warning about that former valor/justice loot that now costs gold. It may stil say that you have 2 hours to return the item for a full refund but that isnt the case. You just get an "internal bag error" and when i opened a ticket with a GM thier reply was wait for the 2 hours to elapse and then vendor it for a fraction of the purchase price. (Thanks asshole)

Im debating between using the boost to take a monk straight to 90 or to bring a 60+ level DK to 90 for the gear bonus. I like to do a lot of solo content, so I'm leaning toward doing the DK. That would give me a warrior, lock, pally, and DK for solo fun.
Neither of those were from UBRS though? =/
That's all they are allowed to do probably...
Sucks that things aren't returnable though.
That's okay. My elemental mastery is like 40 % of my damage.
Not sure how i feel about that.
I got to finally kill Garrosh on normal/heroic! 
Got my heirloom and some other upgrades after I piggybacked off a guild group who wanted to go boosting. I figured they wouldn't need me so stayed in the current group we were in and we got it second try. I'm not liking druid healing with wild growth having a cast time as it's hard to get used to, but I'll do it.
Just so happy I got my heirloom before it was gone for good

Looks like the EU realms are going down so they can hotfix the levelling issues with mobs. People getting one-shotted in the starting areas lol
Jesus.
We ended up stopping after killing Shaman last night. We 16 manned up to Sha, then 17 Juggernaut and Shaman.

Btw, the pvp heirlooms are ok for levelling right?
I'm using the guild heirlooms, but I want the pvp shoulders for the 10% xp

Absolutely. Go for it.
Also killed Malkorok before Bloodrage :lol
But now the servers restarted so we were kicked out. It took us <15 minutes to go from Shamans to killing Malkorok :lol

Stuff is dying so fast in legacy raids that we were having problems doing achievement runs because they are dying to pets and DOTs.
Also, for anyone returning after a long break, I saw this great guide on Reddit on getting to 515 quickly. Good for alts too.
Fast gearing tips for new 90's/boosted 90's. get to 515+ ilvl in an afternoon/
We had dpsd him during defense for the past 1-2 months already since it shortened the encounter so much. But now we killed him with maybe 10 seconds to spare before he even hit it >_>
Damn yo
We killed him a bit after Blood Rage, wonder if they nerfed health since Tuesday night or if we were bad
Well we're pretty much all in full mythic gear that's fully upgraded (some fresh recruits don't have full mythic yet). We just destroyed Spoils and the minibosses barely had enough time cast their ability once or twice and the anima golems occasionally died before completing their waking animation >_>
Alright, so I'm approaching 4 90s, a 5th with my boost. I wanted to get someone to 60 and then boost him to 90 so I can get the extra boost for the profressions. Was going to add Engineering(or maybe Enchanting)/Jewelcrafting. I have a tradition where I usually play my first guy(priest who has tailoring/skinning). I kind of realized that I don't have any use for skinning because all I do is sell the mats on the AH. Would mining be more useful for JC/Engineering or Enchanting?
So mythic is easier than pre-patch heroic? Or are you guys talking about heroic (pre-patch normal)?
Also, what do y'all think of the outline stuff? When you mouse over NPC's and other players. I thought I would turn it off when the patch hit, but I'm liking it. Gonna leave it on now.

I don't mind it. Not really useful for me as far as I can tell so far, but it's not intrusive enough to make me want to turn it off.
Yea we are full mythic, mostly warforged, upgraded.
Must have been more HP adjustments since our raid. We don't suck that bad
Although my dps as a Brewmaster is atrocious. 9k-ish. I'm hoping to be more in the ballpark of other people at level 100.
Yes. And classes are not tuned well for level 90 so if you have mostly mages and warriors for dps it will be even easier.

That's true, not really needed to identify hostile NPC's or anything, but I like the look of it for some reason.
we killed siege crafter in 2 minutes and garrosh in just under 8 lol
No trouble killing the Shredders? Cool, they fucking sucked on Tuesday.
Well Siegecrafter was probably the hardest fight prepatch for us and now we stomped him in 1:40. Healers have been complaining about not having anything to heal and DPS certainly is more than sufficient to absolutely stomp everything.
Why kill them? We killed the boss without killing a single one :lol
So with the changes to Prot pallys i'm finding myself tanking again, but while the rest of my gear is resonably good my 1h weapon is a shitty 476blue, what would be a quick and painless place to get a good upgrade? I have enough timeless coins to get the 1h mace there but those weapons never really impressed me much. would a heroic Scenario daily be my best bet?
With two down at once on Tuesday their raid wide AoE would near global everyone
Sounds like it was fixed lol
New UBRS has a 550 ilevel strength 1 hander. And PvP gear is 550 and can be bought with honor

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
it was better prenerf when we killed it, they nerfed his health an assload on wednesday compared to tuesday.

Must've been a stealth tuning pass. Flex/normal on Tuesday was still fairly easy, but harder than it should have been given the gear levels in our group.
Will be interesting to see mythic for myself next week. Off this week. Hopefully Garry is easy enough to get a couple weeks of mounts out of him after struggling to kill him the first time and missing out on a second before the patch. I want mine :<
Low level hunter is interesting. Pretty much everything dies from one Aimed Shot. Also, leveling areas are packed, it's crazy.

Yeah but only him, right? We just blew through everything in there.
just him yeah everything else was a joke 1 shot
No there nerfed pretty much every mob in the game including Siege bosses and then on top of that global nerf Garrosh got an addition 15% nerf to his health.
Absolutely ridiculous how fast everything died.
