having overall bad players who used the 58 boost, never played classic and therefore never learned how to play / how to play around with skills and ranks?
I know classic and TBC are not the hardest games to learn but in my opinion the leveling process from 1 to x teaches you most basics on your adventure.

What am i reading lol.
Why should it matter how they get boosted? If Retail Player wanna play on Classic they either get boosted from Friends or the pay with Retail Gold on Boosting Communitys for Classic Boosts or the very rare Case they level normal.
And all the PRealm players are boosting anyway multiple Characters
And what ya mean never learned how to play around with “skills” and “ranks” thats turbo troll

Yes, it will happen. Every player that has no idea where his spellbook is, every player that doesn’t have a single extra keybind except 1-9 and every player that turns with the keyboard will be in your outland dungeon group.
But, there is a big thread with this mentioned with many other aspects and discussions already. I would suggest you to add your opinions there:

Talk about wannabe elitism…
Happy to see its coming back in time for TBC, the old “I used to play Vanilla” was getting old - in with the new “I got boosted in Classic so Im better than you” instead.
Standing at a Dungeon entrance or killing pigs with 1 attack doesnt teach you anything. If that was the case everybody 2005 would have known more - they didnt - and all the stupid crap that happens during flawed Classic Raids wouldnt happen - it still does. Also, by default everybody at max level would be good, and we know damn well thats not the case.
Self knowledge, self-insight, effort and a dynamic mindset makes people better - not leveling to 58.
And even if that would have been the case I most likely wouldnt have anything to do with them anyways, other than acually helping should we bump into eachother. You know, since Im not a wannabe elitist a**hole.
Cant believe that people acually consider leveling to 60 to requiere brains, skill or knowledge … I guess grasping for straws is the way to go when one doesnt have any actuall accomplishments.

So it’s elitist to level to 58. What else is elitist? Getting out of bed in the morning??

Its not, thats why you dont see me making any"I made it out of bed" threads. Not sure you read what I wrote, or you simply missed the point with a mile…
I think a lot of you in this thread seem to have no concept of “experience” and I do not mean a number that goes up when you are levelling!

if they didn’t get boosted, leveling to 58 taught people just that.
it requires time. Time which I spent on my characters, time which EVERYONE should spend so my time is not devalued. After all, you want to keep all players on even footing, no?
Levelling to 58 makes you train your spells and learn where to find your spellbook. It makes you pull mobs a few each otherwise you die unlike retail. It makes you learn how to kite or CC mobs if you pulled too many. Even at this time in classic. It makes you learn where flight paths are, where vendors are in the cities, it makes you buy food, water and potions regularly and also in PvP servers it teaches you how to socialize and group up against other factions. It makes you how to form a group and do dungeons, as dungeons start very easy and get more difficult at higher levels, it makes you how to use your spells effectively on trash and bosses etc.
It certainly teaches you some things, that is why we have less total potatoes in any pug in classic than LFR in retail (yeah there are some, but comparatively much less).
And there is absolutely nothing elitist about this process. We all went through it and we are still doing it. I levelled my new shaman last week and I still died quite a few times on elite quests, and tried a lot of times with different strategies, after playing the game for so long. I still learned a lot of things about the game by levelling a new character and I also learned how to play another class, I learned how to fight against gnome mages that try to gank me.
But you are a salty moron who is just here to insult and swear at others so I wouldn’t assume any better from you. Keep being mad and bad.
Get some cheese to accompany your salt.

So the baseline idea here is that people joining for TBC Classic never touched a WoW-game before and that they are guranteed to use the boost, which will cause problems for the “experienced” players trying to experience TBC? This while learning absolutely nothing between 58-70?
The boost can be criticized for many things. This however is a non-issue.
Not about the process, but the idea that these 58 levels somehow would make a diffrence in TBC - with the core issue of these “clueless” players not acually even beeing real.
Most people joining in for TBC will already have played WoW before, and unless they learn anything beteen 58-70 or a few weeks into 70, I doubt the mindless grind 1-58 would have changed that.

Sorry, I assumed you were making a point rather than whining about something that has nothing to do with you - because somehow it indirectly “devalues” your precious time.
What do I care about them and their 1-58 journey? Their loss.
so if my time is not precious, why is yours so precious that you’re going to buy a boost?
Because apprently you did have or found time to it, because thats how you valued or prioritized things. Some people might not feel the same (speaking strictly about time). Not like you cant use the boost aswell. Why be grumpy out of spite?
“My dad didnt buy me new shoes so I will be bitter on everybody that recived a pair”.
I try to focus on things I can change, not others ^^ Makes life easier.

I think it is mainly because of that boost giving people a false understanding of how the game is going to be. And it’s def not going to be as easy as buying a boost in terms of gearing and some other things
If a clueless guy gets in your guild and gets a spot in your raidteam I’m worried you have bigger issues than the boost

What if someone boosts a shaman and then forgets how to hit chain heal and only chain heal for two years.
Oh god the horror.
Hey, I have you know that using r2 chain heal takes a lot of effort! Almost as much as opening google and looking for a “2.4.3 resto shaman guide” to get the basics. I tell you only the real hard core can do that.
