In case you're unfamiliar with the concept of Remix, it's a limited-time event wherein players can create characters and go on a romp through a past expansion, courtesy of the Infinite Dragonflight. In Legion remix, players are able to amp up their artefact weapons with Infinite Power through a variety of means.
Blizzard's stepped in to sort this out, per a post to the : "Due to an oversight in our loot table setup, some activities—particularly elite farming, herb gathering, and mining—were unintentionally yielding far more Infinite Power than intended," writes community manager Linxy, "Which led to a small subset of characters accumulating Infinite Power well beyond our intended thresholds.
"Elite farming, mining, and herb gathering are valid gameplay choices, however, we’ve made the following adjustments to restore balance to the system and ensure a healthy game economy moving forward."
Those adjustments mainly include lowering the infinite power gains from those activities—but also setting the record straight, nerf-batting those who'd gotten miles ahead of and resetting them back to a measly 10 million. Which, to be clear, is still a lot.
Remix is designed to primarily be a bit of silly fun—and incentivising folks to hit up the Isle of Watchers for hours on end just to stay on-level with the demigods doesn't exactly strike me as, well, silly or fun.
