This.
Oldschool games like Classic and TBCC is NOT a race, it’s a marathon. I don’t want to say it’s Retails fault cause it’s an easy thing to point out but it’s the efficient matrix.
So many only want to be super efficient and I don’t think that’s healthy for the game. That doesn’t stop people from doing it, just wanted that out of my chest.
Your thread? what do you mean by that? You make the rules? oh yea. Your thread for YOUR echo chamber was it not?
Let the man have his say.
I must disagree. Alot of people including myself are very respectfull. But since we are not your “preferred echo chamber” you find us disrespectfull"
Sure thing m8, whatever you want.
That’s your opinion, to which you are entitled of course, but you don’t get to decide what is okay for us 
If you paid attention to my posts, you know I don’t oppose the boost. I also intend to use it on my paladin (human).
However, I leveled every one of my alts by hand, no mage boost. 4 of them are, or will reach, 60 before the prepatch, another one (shaman) will be leveled during prepatch.
Leveling in WoW can be a very enjoyable, relaxing experience. Not for everyone, sure, and I don’t hold it against anyone if they take a shortcut, either by boosting or mageboosting. But a comparison with an actual “chore” like “picking cotton” is simply absurd.
True, it’s perfectly fine to normalize paying even more money to avoid a flaw in a game where customers are already paying, instead of asking for a fix that should be free 
If you are saying this, you dont know what you are talking about. What exactly will be the advantages? Gear? Will be replaced in dungeons! Gold? You wont get it from boost anyway! They will be higher level? You can go and make your character RIGHT NOW and be 58 by the time TBC hits AND you will have more gold than with boost. You wont get to boost Blood elf anyways. I think you just saying that because you dont have the bal*** khm stength to level up character all the way. Good luck on attunements
Basicly what Darkspot said.
Not sure if it’s funny or sad but when I hear “so new players can get right into it”, those who don’t have a single character as they skipped Classic, having no gold, no profession (alts) I kinda fail to see how that will be that fun, when going into the game broke and compete with those who did the opposit, put in the time and effort beforehand.
Or why not this one “I don’t wanna waste time on Classic, takes ages to lvl, did it before back in the days”. So people claim to have no/little time? They are in for a rough treat. In Classic you farmed blue/epic gear in dungeons and some few (Onyxia etc) attunements. Now in TBCC add that plus many more attune/rep grinds, keys and more.
These thourists, I mean “new” players won’t stay longer then 3 months.
Yes granted, I do see why even we who played Classic could utilize that lvl 58 boost, like getting a druid up for easier herb farming or any other profession alt and put it to good use or heck even to reroll your Main, except Belfs/Draeneis which you can’t use the boost on, but my bottom line is, atleast we DID put in the works for it. Not just crossing our arms and wait for a boost.
What’s stopping people to level up a toon now I wonder. More then enough time and when pre-patch comes, it will be even 30% ish faster. Lost for more words.
Eh, you just are quite narrow minded.
Point is that there are enough who are interested in TBC but do not give a … about the 1-58 part. Who cares that they can skip some content they don’t want to go through?
If you really want TBC and want the community to enjoy it, then you wouldn’t be against this. See, I can make those narrow minded comments too.
The original part is long gone, so you don’t have to come up with “back then you couldn’t skip it either”.
Who said anything about a race? For those of us who don’t have Classic chars (no interest in Classic), you’re fine with us (a great many, btw) having to start at 1 while Classic players simply transfer over?
You would deter a heck of a load more people than you’d attract with that approach. I just want to start off in The Burning Crusade on a semi-equal footing (note: you’ll be 58, and without the Naxx gear, so still not as equal).
Boosts etc is antithetical to classic wow, nothing more nothing less. Your last sentence in regard to classic is mind-boggling.
Retail is there for you buddy 
How is it mind-boggling? Is it that hard for you to grasp the idea that many TBC players will be coming for, y’know - the TBC content? We don’t mind doing Classic content to get there - just don’t set us off on an unequal footing.
Short of implementing at least one or two fresh tbc servers, this is the only other way to achieve some semblance of a ‘fair start’ between TBC players, who have long awaited this, and those who are just transferring a BIS 60 over.
i am fine with the boost and i do intend of using it. just because i dont like classic. but i do really want to play TBC again. so the boost is great for me. i can still play TBC (not vanilla) on launch. and not be massively behind.
but if they boosted the xp in pre patch more then the already 20-30% (on beta). then i will prefer that option i think. but it has to be like 60-80% for me to grind it out.
We don’t mind doing Classic content to get there
So what’s stopping you from creating a character right now? You have plenty of time to level to 60 before TBC launch.
So what’s stopping you from ignoring this thread if you don’t want to play a fresh server like us? You have plenty of time to go into TBC on your server with your main and your 58 Alt.
Actually I do want fresh servers, all im saying is if he doesn’t mind leveling through vanilla content there is still time to hit 60 before release.
Ah right sorry! I mistook what you wrote lol
I don’t mind leveling vanilla content on an equal footing (I already said this in my first post); I do mind being forced to level on servers where a huge number are BIS 60s who will start off at an immediate advantage, way into early T4.
Okay I misunderstood you, sorry.
If I understand you correctly now, your issue is with the gear advantage BiS player will have over others.
You say the only alternative to a boost would be a fresh server.
While I get how a fresh server solves the problem, I fail to see why a boost would be the solution it in the first place?
Even without a boost there is still gonna be plenty of new, re-rolls, alts and returning players. Probably way more than the actual BiS players.
With the boost, we at least can enter the Dark Portal at the same time as everyone else: we’ll still be 2 levels behind, but if its a choice between that and no fresh server, of course I’ll opt for that.
