So in short, having a debate about the boost is one thing, you either agree or disagree and give your honest civil statements, but when you know you’re dealing with someone who want(ed) “all cash shop services and retail features” for TBC…
I stop there and I rest my case. Once again thanks for the heads up Majesty.
EDIT:

its a slippery slope. They implement this and they’ve already got their foot in the door for changes. Turn the temp up slowly on a frog and you’ll cook it alive. Blizzard are money grubbing china loving craps. They will eventually try and shove as much microtransations in.
This. +1
Once again it’s what may come that I fear. You give (allow) them a finger and eventually they will take your hand. Things will be normalized and the moment you add something that wasn’t there in the first place (boost in tbc 2007), more things can be added with “well we got X now so why can’t we get Y and/or Z” on and on.
Already have I seen people asking for race change, faction change (both added in Wotlk 2009) and other things that wasn’t in TBC back in the days.
We arleady have a game that allows pay2win and pay2skip. If people love that, by all means don’t let me hinder them. I’m glad people found something they really like, it’s called Retail. We don’t need Classic turning into it as well.
It’s enough already as it is, having a game with two different approaches and this endless “Classic vs Retail war”. If people like C, play it, if you prefer R, play that.
Bottom line, we in the Classic community (afaik) don’t sit on Retail forums and telling them they should remove cash shop, pet battles, mount collections, achievements and all that with “so I can play it”.
