Reminder that #NoChanges was popular early on mainly because the majority of the people simply didn’t want Blizzard to implement its “changes”, which might have included the likes of boosts and an in-game shop, given how greedy Blizzard is.
No one pretty much thought or had any info about World-buffs, dispelling, spell-batching, AV and such.
#NoChanges nowadays is just a scapegoat used to justify changes, while this wasn’t the goal in the first place.
The majority was against the monetization and the poor balancing of the game, not against bug fixes.
Reading those questions makes me wonder if the people at Blizzard who made that survey actually thinks wow classic didn’t differ significantly from the original wow…
I know that, I already said I was pro #NoChanges before Classic launch, I know that no one that wanted #NoChanges wanted World-buffs, dispelling, spell-batching, AV, and others but at the end that were the consequences of #NoChanges, the fact that this is not what we wanted does not change that is what we asked for, so it is our fault, ignorance is not an excuse.
It was reasonable to believe that #NoChanges was the best choice but we now know that we were wrong going for that, that has been Classic biggest mistake, because #NoChanges has turn into Classic biggest change. Now is time to do things right and make #Somechanges to counter those players meta changes to have real authenticity.
I would have said that it’s “partly out fault” if the game was managed by a competent company. In the meantime, Blizzard is doing pretty much what it wants, weither we want it or not. The players have nothing to do with anything that happened or did not happen in Classic.
Well given that the majority of people on these forums are now hugely in favor of boosts and pay-to-win, it would seem to me that #nochanges is a relic of 2019, and most people’s attitudes have switched from #nochanges to #give me free instant gratification, convenience and QOL for zero effort NOW!
Honestly I’m shocked that there aren’t dozens of people clamoring for cash stops, WoW tokens, instant L60 boosts, buyable epics, LFR, LFG, dual spec, transmog, , updated zones and quests, talent tree removed, reagents removes, mounts at L10 and all the other retail crap.
Give it another month I guess. Not that I’m cynical or bitter or anything.
There is a massive, MASSIVE, difference between wanting a boost and being ok with a boost. Talk about taking something to its extreme to make a point!
Nobody is asking for this, nobody.
Because a 1 time boost is simply that, a 1 time boost, this stuff you bang on about would be a permanent addition that changes TBC.
Lol, very bitter it would seem, god knows why, as has been stated many, many times, your game will still be enjoyable by you.
But i mean, hey, if they did add all those things you’d get a nice empty westfall to go kill those 40 boars without having to worry about other people tagging them, cause thats the way an MMO should be played right?
I thought an MMO should be played by paying a Mage to put yourself on /follow behind them and go AFK while they AOE their way through the same dungeon over and over again?
And give that you made it quite clear in several threads that you hate doing quests, and just want to buy your way to max level why would you care how people who do like questing want to play the game?
Please do find where i said exactly this? I’d like to know!
You may instead find me saying several times, I’ll be starting a draenei which means starting at level 1, playing azuremyst then bloodmyst, i’m hoping a good number of folks mosey off to other areas as i really enjoy the draenei starting zones, god knows i’ve played through them enough!
Now, i dont mind if someone else uses the boost, heck if the tank in my dungeon group was a boosted character but just so also happens to be flipping awesome as a tank and a group leader then quite frankly boost or no boost i dont care. They’re clearly a great player and leader and i’m enjoying myself.
Get off your own self made bitter joy ride and chill, i’ve tried to say this so many times now,
your game is what you make, and how much you enjoy it is up to you
This 1 time boost will not ruin your game, it simply wont.
Will it lead to tbc getting a cash shop, i highly doubt it, will it lead to classic getting a cash shop, i highly doubt it.
Will it lead to #somechanges in classic (as its now once again ‘old content’) maybe, maybe they will make a few changes, perhaps they’ll look at what they wanted to do back in 05 and see how they can bring that in now?
I haven’t read any of the posts where you said you were starting at L1, in which case I was wrong on that score. Given that you have been consistently arguing in favour of the boost it was reasonable to assume that you would be using it yourself.
But I doubt I’m wrong about this level boost ultimately leading to more QOL and convenience features in the game. It’s patently obvious that they’re testing the water, the recent survey on Classic realms strongly underlines this.
