Well, technically if a 120 scaled down to 50, then 20’s scale to around 8 or 9.
Question is, will F2P still be 20, in which case we will have access to all zones up to what a lvl 20 can access, otherwise if they make it lvl 10, then there is a good chance they’ll lock us in the starting zone.
As mentioned, Vets may be able to enter the new zones, but could be limited at 10.
It would be awesome if we had access to so much other content. And will we have access to more bg’s? Hope so.
Either way, F2P’s and Vets will find a way to thrive and survive

that'll be a lot of angry complaints then if that happened.

From whom? Non-payers?

that and people thinking about buying the subscription again for items normally not obtainable. if they see that, that could drive those types of buyers off.
besides that, what's the definition of a gaming twink again?

My apologies, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I am saying that your existing characters won't be put into the starting area playable, they'll be locked at level 10 in the new 10-50 area and only playable if you purchase a subscription. So why would that deter anyone who was planning on purchasing a subscription?

ok, im just gonna ask the community at large here to be honest.
… what is with every one automatedly assuming that we're just getting 10s and that's it?
no official statement has been made as of yet. we latterly don't even know what it is yet.
could be latterly like everyone else has stated for the past few hours.
7-8, 10, 20 or even 20+ is possible.
if ya really wanna have a definitive answer. just please upvote my q/a question.

Simpler solution: lock every f2p in Goldshire Inn (MoonGuard US or ArgentDawn EU), and let them enjoy the place until they gave up and pay their sub. I assure you it'll be pretty quick

The following is only my opinion:
Most people assume that because it would be the most logical choice to do.
With the curent scaling, current lvl20 should go down to lvl8. They made a new content for 1-10 to show players Azeroth, its challenge, and more generaly have a good idea of the gameplay. So from that, it seems logical that f2p level be extended to lvl10 at least to be in that phase made for "new players". Because the main target of the F2P is to get new players to the game.
Sure we could be limited to a higher level. But if everything scales to your level (as most of the expansion content can be done in whatever order you want), giving f2p access to lvl10+ is almost the same as giving them at least half of all the expansions content, which seems unlikely.
For sure we don't have any confirmations yet, and we might not have any confirmation before a long time. The only thing we do is speculating. No one ever said that it will be what we'll get.

it does make sense that they’ll try to rangle in much of us in, but the problem with those of us outside those borders have a huge advantage. Like I’ve stated earlier on another forum like old northrend, pandara, legion and possibly the burning legion and wod would technically be able to beat anyone that’s tied to the old world (including new people or alts).Simpler solution: lock every f2p in Goldshire Inn (MoonGuard US or ArgentDawn EU), and let them enjoy the place until they gave up and pay their sub.

edit: and since all of those people are at level 10 too, they wouldn’t know the difference.

All I know is that I would start helping Blizzard steal money from players and pledge allegiance to China if all gear from every source scaled to 50. I assume the level boost would be for level 50 as well.

That's what I was discussing a bit earlier with Conzil
Even if we get access to that, we still have our 10 gold cap, not enough to get flight afaik

I think the rabid "F2P speculators" need to take a deep breath, and ask themselves four questions:
Some seem to think that Blizzard is suddenly going to declare all of this a "failed experiment", and simply hold all twinks hostage until they pay-up. I suppose that's technically a possibility, but destroying an entire playerbase that they intentionally created seems counterintuitive...
...so if we presume that our twinks will still be playable, how will Blizzard integrate them with those aforementioned goals?
I certainly have my own theories about how this might eventually play-out, but my "wild speculation" high is waning... and at this point I'm content to wait until we get some more "facts".
1. "What was Blizzard's goal in creating Trial accounts?"
2. "What was Blizzard's goal in creating Veteran characters?"
3. "How has Blizzard shaped the current game to accommodate those goals?"
4. "How might Blizzard shape this new-leveling-experience to accommodate those same goals?"
2. "What was Blizzard's goal in creating Veteran characters?"
3. "How has Blizzard shaped the current game to accommodate those goals?"

Too much questions in a single post! Let my brain chill a bit after that intense morning of reflexion!

with players going to a starter zone for level 1-10, then at 10 can go to like CATA to do their 10-50, i expect initial 212 gold flying to come down drastically can't imagine flying costing what it does now in BFA, or if they decide to do MOP? prior to MOP at 8212K gold, not counting cold weather flying and MOP current 85+ flying cost.
maybe a lower gold level still not within reach of a F2P, like 12 gold
addon: blizzard lowered basic mount riding from 40 to 20 along with the cost long ago, which enabled trials to purchase them. anything can happen
