      @@Disappointed_Philosoraptor I work in a corporation and I think the more likely reason is - the person who made those calculations is a diversity hire and everyone else just didn't want to rock the boat by calling out the diversity hire for their stupidity. There's less conflict in simply handing the video over to the next person with no corrections and if they ask "what's up" you can simply say that "sorry it was made by X" and I believe that most will simply leave it at that, cuz everyone understands that the capacity to know basic math might be r**ist or bigoted in some way..
      The bigger question is - there's usually a team lead who checks those sorts of posts and if even they failed to notice it (or didn't think they should ask for it to be fixed) then the DEI group in Blizzard has more power than we could ever imagine.

      2) If you pause the footage, you'll see the top horse is much further along the road (assuming they started in the same place). It's about the best demonstration you can get without using a stopwatch and two distinct points. Not sure what people were expecting here.

      I honestly don't care about the speed improvement anyway. That was never the issue. The sprint is fast as hell, but you often get stuck on stuff before it expires. Collision was the biggest complaint. I look forward to shorter cooldowns, too. At least those don't need a demonstration video.

    So, killing 100 mobs before, would result in 140.000 XP

    I actually kept thinking about what the hell would "40% Total Bonus" mean because I dunno what the 40% is OF.
    Like, yeah, the guy multiplied by 0.4 which is the literal interpretation, but I thought "Would it be of 40% of the base EXP?", therefore from 1000 it would be 400, and if you MULTIPLY it by the base EXP, since it's 1000 x 40%, then it would be 1000 x 400, which equals 400000 which is a massive fucking boost...
    But if the math HAS to equal 1040, then it just means that SOMEHOW some people put an x where there should've been a +, and put a % where it should've been nothing... Is like they did 3 different calculations to see which one worked better but wrote them all on top of each other, so the guy who had to transcribe it to the video just saw all the poorly erased marks and just went with it because he was the video guy, not the math guy, and they were pressing his ass to have the video done in 5 minutes

    To give them a little bit of credit, the 1400 in the second one at least would make sense if the bonuses are calculated additively like 1000 * (1 + 0.2 + 0.2) = 1400.
    Taking that credit away is the fact that it comes out equal to what it was before.
    And even if it is calculated multiplicatively, (1000 * 1.2 * 1.2 = 1440), that's a whooping 1440 / 1400 = ~1.0286 of what was before, so approximately 3% more XP. That's gonna seriously reduce those 20 people's grind time.
