Repeatable Quest Experience Exploit Fixed for WoW: Forever Launch
During the WoW: Forever Beta, players discovered an Alliance-only quest that continuously gave experience points. While many used it on the beta to quickly level to 30, others had no idea it existed - but whether players knew about it or not, Blizzard has fixed this exploit for Forever's launch.
Embedded Reddit post by Old_Yesterday332 in r/classicwow: "Blizzard please fix for launch. Exploit for levelling 1-30 in 2 hours. 1-60 in 5 hours." (3.7K upvotes, 1406 comments)
The quest, Applejack Still, located just outside Stormwind City, only required turning in 4x Shiny Red Apple, which could be purchased from a vendor. In the video posted to the Classic WoW subreddit, a Level 21 character was able to get 170 experience points per turn-in. This quickly spread through the community, and Aggrend confirmed on X that this unintended experience farm is fixed ahead of launch.

Replying to @AggrendWoW and @Acalian5Hey Aggrend.
Apparently someone found an exploit to level to 60 in 5 hours.

You can hand in apples infinite for 170 xp at a time.

Not going to be a thing. Already fixed for launch by our friend @QuestTheLine.
Leveling speed has been a hot topic for players, with many hoping for a slower experience. Others are eager to get to 60 quickly, and the two camps have often clashed in comment sections across social media. This particular exploit, however, was clearly unintended - so anyone who was hoping to take advantage of the quest once Forever launches will instead have to do things the intended way.
