Dude,its 2021.Thats long gone dude.Keep up with the times
But this is not a thing where we will have same everything,its just recreation of the old game.Classic wasnt same as vanilla,specially when it comes to the players and how game was played.BC wont be same thing,changes happen and will keep happening.You cant have exactly same thing as you did before.
Someone boosting one char to 58,not even 60 âŚis not an issueâŚâbut if you allow that then this gives them reason to add p2w options and sell gear/powersâŚblablaâŚââŚdude,if they actually sold stuff thats p2w and let you buy all gear from any raid/dungeon/pvpâŚnow that would actually be wow killer.Their store offers only cosmetics/account services.Not gear or power to gain over other players.
if i would get 1 gold for everytime someone does not get the ovious point i would be pretty rich ^^ uhm⌠dude !
Was a joke about the insane people,like some of you here kek
ok, its kinda early for me, you got me there 
i actually thought when i wrote that, that someone will respond to that like you did ^^gg
The data was given by SuperData and they even commented that itâs a normal drop for WoW due to expansion cadence. People come back for new expansion and then most of them drops off. WoW retail has such bi-yearly cadence but with Classic they managed to make it annual.
Possibly, but the war has only just began.
Haha! Its Lorran again! Not a single day without a lil bit of crying about the boost, amirite?

Itâs becoming increasingly clear that thereâs only around four pro-boost trolls on the entire forum. They just keep using different alts to post, as you are doing.

Thereâs also only about 4 vocal anti-boosters. Just goes to show just how un-representative this forum actally is.
Like, take my guild, we are âsemi-hardcoreâ guild of mostly raid loggers who took 2 months to actually clear naxx and still take over 3 hours to farm it. On our discord, out of 50+ members and socials, maybe two displayed a mild disgust at the boost, while some 5+ casually considered buying it for an alt. One guy might use it to have horde alt on another server. Nobody will use it for itâs intended purpose of âcatching up with friendsâ. But the main takeaway is, nobody really cares. Nobody. Cares.
Hack, even I donât care about the boost. Not really, not like I care about the idiotic drum change for example. Iâm just a contrarian and enjoy arguing here on my breaks for some weird reason.
This forum is full of opinionated vocal minority. And Blizz knows it, and ignores it appropriately.
Edit: Wow, check out my new hat, Iâve only gotten it last night. Classic Armory confirmed

Actually there are at least eight regular anti-boosters.
Blizzard said a lot but WoW is now property of Cashtivision.
I like how you formulated this and is kinda how I feel. Except the drums, idc, iâll be maining a healer.
Dunno what happened, but every position brought forth with thought and in a polite manner, aka. like your opening post, deserves civilized dispute, so lets try that:
b) ofc but they didnât do that with the boost. Paid Chartransfer is already in the game, ans has been for months. And for many players on overcrowded or unbalanced servers, that worked out very well.
I give you 50% agreement on that one. TBC and Classic are interwoven of course, BUT:
Once a character hits lvl 70, there is very little in the classic World that is still relevant. Scholomance-Grinding for Dark Runes, and some Herbfarms because FAPs and Invulpots still work, (and for the most hardcore mats for things like enchanting-relearns,) but thatâs about it. Everything else, like going Naxx for Shards, etc. is just cosmetic and not relevant to the game in strictly numerical terms.
Tbh. I have not heard anyone saying that.
That is ofc not a counter to what you heard, itâs just my, strictly personal, set of observations.
Also, even if someone says that, it doesnât make a whole lotta sense to me. The bostee gets lvl 58, the hamstring-mount and, based on what we see on the beta, a set of gear for which the term âstinking-pile-of-crapâ would actually be an honorific. No gold, no professions, no attunements, not even lvl 60. The difference between a bostee and a lvl 60, especially one that actively raided in classic, is almost comical.
What of those who can only play 3h a week?
What of those who have to play with 1700ms over a phone-thether because they live in rural Howawondaland with zero broadband to be had?
Life isnât fair. Sad, but true. No Boost doesnât change that.
Ingame gold can be bought with real money though, and while forbidden & risky, a lot of people do it. The way I see it, its better to give the Money to Blizz, and lower the incentive to buy gold from Mr. Shadywebsiteguy. Less gold bought == Less Demand for Gold == Bots become less Profitable == Less Bots.
I doubt that anyone will buy the boost because of that, and those who do donât matter, because they will quit anyway, because TBC is almost as huge a timesink as classic (hcs, rep, crafting, farming, younameit)
Going back to my above paragraph about what the boost actually gives the boostee, I honestly donât see the âgratificationâ here.
We cannot forget the world in which the boosted character existsâŚa world full of people who can tank entire rooms in the 5mans without breaking a sweat, dps who may as well have DANGER: NUCLEAR WARHEAD printed on their helmets, and healers who top people simply by slightly blowing on their keyboards. Compare that to Mr. Wearsgeariwouldntwipemya_sewith and the gratification-part of the boost kinda flys out the window.
So, whereâs the proof that itâs retail only subscribers exactly?
The only thing on that website that shows is regular subscribers and it dips back down to pre shadowlands subscribers.
Of course it didnât, the game was at its peak.
Weâll never see the game at that peak again, with or without TBC/Wotlk servers.
People grow up, move on from games.
They lose interest, get a family and donât have time any longer.
This is why the forums get ignored and pretty smart of them 
There is no retail subscribers only, there is one unified subscription. And none other than Blizzard can know the exact number of players playing each game. They are hiding all their data since WoD, thatâs why media giants like Nielsen is getting data like this out, by the way.
But if you look at the data, sub numbers dropped by 41%, total revenue dropped by 61%.
Since there is no other revenues than monthly subscription fees for classic only players, the comparatively higher drop in revenues hints that more retail players have cancelled their subs compared to classic players. (nuclear science for you)
You are a great example of the post-truth era. No evidence or proof I shove on your face will make you stop looking for an excuse to keep believing in what you believe or want. You started with âwhere did you get that dataâ then âtheres no dataâ then âdo you believe a youtuberâ then âits not retail subs onlyâ. You are backpedalling hard here, I would suggest you to unbind the S key and start strafing, helps improve your game a lot.
that was a decent floormopping ma friend

Exactly my point, the 41% is for both retail and classic subscribers.
Of course itâll drop revenue, because shadowlands boosted the revenue⌠because you know you have to purchase the expansion?
Because thereâs no proof of it being only retail only subs dipping
Theyâre connected after all.
Please stop being in denial about both subs dipping, thanks.
Thanks.
uhm⌠that is related to the post above, sry ^^
I mean, he said exactly what Iâve been stating for a while.
Thereâs nothing else to say 
So please stop trolling, thank you.
