Why character boost to 58 is good

Which part, you are all over the place.

Your point, Boost Bad!

Tbh, I dont know why you bother with anti-boost people. They want everybody to play their way or not at all. In fact, it is fine they want something, problem is their aggressive behaviour against those who dont think the same way.
God forbid some may actually play retail, they are like enemy no.1, instead fellow player.
Only Pserver people are welcome in “their” game, those with “pure” thoughts how tbcc should look like.

LOL typical: “OH so youuu are the blah blah” (was probably mean, but that was uncalled for as well)

Really are we going there? There was a certain couple points from the start of Classic that was the bedrock of us playing an older version with very little of the newer influences from retail. That is not the case anymore with boosts. Some changes are good while this one is of the scales. One can almost say it is a bridge too far.

No, the actual point is that money-grabbing crap in the cash shop for classic should not be in the game. Simple enough? Because every argument you use to support one of them can be used to support any of them, as I bothered to show all of you, and if the arguments are flawed for any one of those money-grabbing services in the cash shop then they are equally flawed for all of them.

Classic is old content now, so you should be able to skip it. I don’t remember Blizzard saying Boosts will never be in all Classic versions, just the 1-60 classic, which is still the truth as it’s in TBCC.

Classic purists are content snobs.

I think “catch-up” mechanics without efforts like the boost doesn’t fit the “Classic mentality”. Which is probably why so much people are against it.

A lot of players have been used to the retail catch-up mechanics for years and some of them never know the era without catch-up mechanics every patches/during the same patchs + $ catch-up services.
So, now, they find them “normal”

So, i love being well geared but i find raiding weekly boring.
Should Blizzard allow me to buy the gear directly from the shop ? So i can play “the way i want to” ?

People should play the game they way it is intented to. No changing it to fit their personal taste.

What’s next ? Should i ask an aim-assist in FPS because i’m bad and being killed every round isn’t fun for me ?

The reason it’s not 70 is because it’s to allow you to play TBC. So it’s 58, the minimum starting level for the expansion.

Strawmanning? this is a weak argument, this isn’t even in Retail so why would they do it here?

Nobody dislike a person playing retail… but when retail related elements surface in Classic then we surely have a right to disagree with them. It is not our way or the highway. Play Classic as was intended in it’s design and scope. I will allow the point that we can be aggressive at points since we do not want what is being offered by newer expansions and we clearly see how it is going that way… yet again.

It looks like you didn’t get the point either.

There you go.

I’m not sure how you equate letting people play how they want to asking for something that does not exist. If you don’t like raiding, you simply don’t raid. That’s it.

Letting people play the way they want to is the same in all the versions of the game. Some will insist that unless you painstakingly level in x manner you are not doing it right. Whereas people should be less concerned with what others consider fun. For example if someone likes levelling via dungeon spamming because they hate questing that isn’t anyone else’s business.

Yes it’s a weak argument but it’s the argument used by every “pro-boost” -> “I find this [Feature] boring so it’s nice that Blizzard allow me to skip it” :rofl:

How about this, people like Ironmanning the game so let’s force everyone to Ironman.

Edit: It’s a choice so why not let the boost be a choice?

I think the one off boost per account is fine. I think it’s a lovely catch up so people can play with friends. Not everyone was mad for Classic or didn’t last at Classic, this allows them to start with friends from the off at level 58 if they so choose to.

You feel differently, as you have expressed, I simply don’t agree with you. You feel the ‘boost is fine’ people’s arguments are flawed and we feel the ‘the remove the boost’ arguments are flawed.

I did see your comment, I’m not sure why you felt the need to say it again aimed at me.

I like being well geared so i need to raid but i hate raiding weekly.

Like the pro boost "want the 58+ content without having to deal with the 1-58 content.

I want to be able to “skip” the content i find boring to reach what’s fun for me.
This is exactly the same argument you used but with an another in-game activity.

So sad to think it’s “normal” that the game have to fit everyone needs instead of having players playing a game suited for them.

There weren’t any services like this in 2007 and the players were able to “play the way they want to” and play with their friends.

They can already start playing with their friends now… Like we did in 2007 and guess what ? The game was a big sucess without boost and the players had fun.

mmm, they should move the delete button a bit further fro medit :smiley:

TBH I find the argument from ppl encouraging boosting the same as ppl moving from California to Texas for example and then bring with them all the ideas and ideologies that made that place what is now. Let retail be retail and classic be classic, that is not too much to ask.

How is Classic “intended”? What does this mean even?
For me, game is “intended” how game producer want it to be, not how few customers want it to be.

This is what I was saying about some here - their way or highway, pure selfishness.

It’s not remotely the same argument. It is a one off boost per account that allows you one character to be able to play with friends. It means they can start TBC with others.

As for letting people play how they like, the full context is relevant:-

Not everyone liked Classic, some are purely looking for TBC. This is aimed at them more than anyone. But ofc many of us will take advantage.

Have you seen Kevin Jordan’s responce to the boost announcement? That should answer your question of how it was intended.
