Why would you skip content? Its a game, not real life obligation you have to do! Its not like retail where everything is based around endgame.

I laughed on this one 
you know tbc is old content too whole purpose of all this Classic thing IS to play good old content!!! lol And leveling doesnt take ages, you would know if you actually played classic. I know it because i have 5 60s to base it on.

Thereâs a difference between moving through content faster and just straight up skipping it altogether.
That is one of the things that doesnât sit right with me.
I think it would be a better solution to offer RAF or maybe some temporary xp boost item where you still engage with the game and your server community instead of magically appearing at the dark portal fully leveled.
Even the people who get boosted in instances, which often gets brought up, still have to farm gold and find a booster. They are actively taking part in the game, however degenerate it may be, during the leveling process at least.
When the boost was added to retail it made sense with the state of the game. It does not make sense in itâs current form for Classic.

No it will be up to date content on the Classic realm structures.
Of course it does, I am levelling a hunter and at 38, itâs 3 days 5 hours. My 60 took a long time. How many boosts did you buy? There is no one around to level in dungeons on my realm.
Whether itâs good or bad I donât think it will have that much of an impact to the game other than give Blizz some more moneys
Might make it easier for the bots but it wonât fill every server with thousands of bots. Bots would still bot whether boost was in the game or not.
Might bring new players that otherwise wouldnât but it wonât bring us back to wotlk numbers. Those wanting to play tbc before the boost was announced would still play and itâs more than enough players to keep the game thriving.
For a hunter that is kinda slow, i bet you have high downime (like sitting in SW waiting for buff, or semi afk watching something in other monitor. you can do 38 in 2 days ez. On the other hand thats whats it all about. slow pace, chilling while questing. cmon⊠you can rush in retail, where its expected, not here.
I have relatively no problem finding dungeons, and heres a secret. dungeon grinding is slower than normal questing. I bet this is why you say leveling takes ages, you are waiting for dung groups and not doing anything
The negatives of a 58 boost far outweigh the positives, if you donât have to the time to play to 58 without paying Blizzard for an instant boost then you donât have the time to play TBC anyway, itâs just a cash grab at the expense of the game.
I really feel like people should push against this hard, those people advocating for it will be the first ones to complain about the issues that would largely be mitigated by not having this in the game. I mean itâs already true âI donât have people to do low dungeons with on my serverâ⊠And your solution is to support a service that will make that problem worse, great.

In my opinion the boost should not be implemented at all. Everyone, whether you are for or against boosts, should watch Madseasonsâ video âBallad of the Level Boostâ. Link here.

We are in a forum. No need to proof something, unless someone states that he/she is 100% sure.
All conversations, slip from what is good for the game, to âyou wont dictate us what we should doâ.
Same with this subject. Some of us believe, that QoL changes, and especially paid services, is not o good idea. We shouldnât endorse that company, convert Classic to Retail.
Some changes, will maybe benefit the expansion. Which of the proposed? We donât really know. We all just estimate (or speculate), and we are all biased.
I believe that all the confrontation comes, from two major bases. The âromanticsâ who prefer to play with other of their kind. And the âonly end game raiding countsâ group, who arenât concerned who they play with. They are cool with everything. Maybe because they donât really care about this game, itâs spirit and the community.
Thatâs my observation. It could be bad judgment though.
PS: As someone mentioned above (nice speech mate) , I canât understand someone who pays for this game and then pays again to skip a major part of it. I admit, that we would like, these people to join us in playing the whole content. It is a wonderful world.

What we will see in TBC is a massive hype like Classic, followed by a quick downfall. Why not take advantage of these âtouristsâ? - Thatâs what these boosts are for.
The majority of people who are gonna use the boost are those who will quit the game within the first 3 months - those who quit Classic aswell. Itâs just an effective and smart cashgrab from Blizzard.
Instead of getting 35$ (gametime) from these players, they will now get 95$ (gametime + boost).
His video is really good and he has many good points in it.
The only issue i have is that i think he minimises the impact of gold buying through RMT to buy instance boosts. He calls it a service so it is âfineâ even if he does not like it. Imo it is not fine if the gold is directly (RMT) or indirectly (selling boosts
or running GDKP) generated by RMT and botting and the overall level of corruption currently in the game is high. At least based on my own experience. Then yes, I would rather have blizz than third parties provide these services and take back control a little bit.
I totally agree on the pandora box risk though. And for wow token it is probably only a matter of time before they implement it for western servers. That will be the perfect trap after cashing on all the botters buying 58 boosts.
My wish is that Blizz had been much more tight in its banning policy against gold BUYERS (caught doing RMT gold buying => permaban). If there is no demand there is no supply. And we would not be here today with these paid services that were not in BC.
That is why fresh servers are needed imo. At the very least, it resets the gold in the economy.
Nope, none of that.
Only if you level in dungeons.
I do. I am 100% questing. So Iâve disproved your theory.
No they donât. you are just against it as you did it, so they should too.
Boosts are nothing to do with botting and anything that says otherwise is just out and out lies. The videos is full of lies and half truths.
Only if you believe his fake news. Which obviously you do.
Talk about being in denial. Boosts have nothing to do with botting? Apart from enabling it on a massive scale, sure. If you wanna turn a blind eye to botting, your opinion is worth less than nothing to almost everyone interested in the health and experience of playing this game.

He is in a pure denial. Stuck on the idea that âboostâ is good just because he want it.
Bring all the arguments you want this guy is like a lot of guys outside âMy way to think is the best, the others are just stupid & canât understand itâ
Madseason bring good arguments, he call them fake. You can argue for 10h with those type of guys they donât care. Too self centered.
At least he would be honest saying â'Iâm just a lazy player that donât care about the impact it could have on the game & the others if itâs good for me. Iâll probably leave as soon as a new retail patch appear anywayâ

You are using your wallet to skip effort in-game. Thatâs clearly crossing the line.
âMost playersâ are either delusional or looking for excuses for laziness.

It works fine in retail wow it works fine in classic. I have already gone through the leveling process once, soon twice to 60. I dont mind if new players chose to boost 1 character. Its up to each individual.
A lot of things âworks fine in retail wowâ. Does it mean we should get all of them ?

Ofc not. Why are some people getting delusional over 1 limited boost per account though, at the end of the classic cycle at that?

It doesnât matter if itâs 1 boost or infinite boosts, you can only play one character at a time and botting accounts only need 1 character. The point is they buy a boost, they bot until they turn a profit and eventually after months Blizzard will do a ban wave and the cycle starts again.
At the current gold value and farming rate they not only make a lot more money with the boost available but they can also scale faster and larger, and when they get banned they literally have a new char that same day already farming again.
At to say it works fine in retail is ridiculous, the botting problem in Shadowlands actually hit an all time high, it was absolutely ridiculous. Herb/mining druids in armies circling zones, the skinning hotspots were just overrun and not to mention the complete armies of boomkins power farming mobs like a meteor shower of starfall and piles of corpses just 24/7, impossible to even tag mobs in those areas.
