Why so toxic against boosted chars?

How exactly am I ruining people’s fun by posting my opinion about the boost and people who use it in a thread about supposed toxicity against boosted cahracters?

Kinda says it all what kind of person you are. Imagine doing something with the intent of making people quit, yet somehow are too stupid to see how you’re not ruining people’s fun. Classy people the lot of you.

I have never done /spit on anyone since prepatch was released. So how exactly am I ruining their fun?

Well… I get spat on, for tagging a mob in a area where I have been for quite a while, before someone else showed up :stuck_out_tongue: just how I remember being a Hunter back in the day.
The /spit emote gas been there since forever, and have been very well used across the years, until retail became… what it is.
A place where nobody bothers to chat nor use emotes, and where you risk a grp kick for being too annoying by saying “hi” in the chat. Everybody just solo play with tunnel vision in their own little bubble, and everything is easy enough to do so… and if not you just buy a boost for the curve or keymaster :woman_shrugging:

OP, you ask why people /spit for buying the boost/deluxe- the straight answer is: Because people hoped to experience wow as it was before it got bad (no changes), and everybody is afraid that this shop-baught boost/deluxe will only be the start, and that it will derail the game even faster than they managed with retail.
And they are angry that people are desperate enough to support in-game shop on classic servers.

But also there’s the factor called YouTube’s -who encurages their crowd to /spit in people with the mount. Won’t be naming names, but one if then typically has millions of viewers.

If 100000 people stand on one side of the river, and 10 guys are standing on the other side, the community isn’t split.

Some guys just forgot where the bridge is. :sunglasses:

Buddy it is prepatch and people are leveling their Blood Elves or Draeneis ofc there’s a bunch of Levelers right now.

Why is everyone talking about how people are toxic towards boosted people but not how toxic boosted players are who come fresh from retail? Feeling entitled to every piece of gear to get in a day and being rude in battlegrounds and such? Rush rush rush mentality and you literally can tell how they dont care about the game but just wanting to have epics for free lol.

Can you not focus on one topic?

I say the purchase isn’t immoral. Then you respond that the development of addicting games is immoral. But it still stands that it wouldn’t be immoral to purchase a game that is made to be addictive, it would be even more understandable if anything, since it is addictive.

Second this. I came back yesterday specifically for TBC where I started my journey originally back in 2007. Boosted the same char i used back then, same name image etc, cause I want to play TBC, not spend weeks grinding content I’ve spent grinding in various different levelling formats the past 14 years :slight_smile: (plus didnt have a 60hr week job and 2 kids back then XD) Joined a guild with a view to raiding, know by backstory, no drama. and I’m using the mount cause my god, a warpstalker was my dream back in tbc i loved them XD not had any issue up to now.

I would honestly just ignore that behaviour. It is ironic that a game where gold buying and dungeon boost buying is everywhere but they want to kick off about a one off per account Blizzard boost etc. If a person loves the levelling experience, that’s great. If a person wants to use gold to buy dungeon boosts, it’s nice they have that kind of gold to spare. If someone wants to buy a one off Blizz boost, it really shouldn’t matter to anyone else. Play the way you want to.

If they harass/abuse you on whisper just right click on their portrait/name to report and ignore them. That kind of toxic behaviour is not welcome. If it’s just emotes, who cares, it’s petty and childish but it’s irrelevant. Half of them are probably using a Weak Aura that does it automatically. I /cheer at fellow deluxe mount riders after this daft movement by a minority to hate on the players instead of directing their anger at Blizzard. I see Dottie explained how you can turn them off emotes so you don’t see them.

I can understand that some are concerned that this is a slippery slope to a wow shop in Classic. That is totally valid. However, targeting other players is just wrong.

You are the one bringing immorality into the topic, followed by a statements that something being sold can’t be immoral and that games can’t be immoral. Noone except you have made any indication that buying the boost can considered immoral.

People don’t like the boost because it degrades their experience of the game. If you feel that makes your choice immoral that is entirely on you.

I guess you missed the complaints about both gold buying, bots and dungeon boost for gold over the past 1.5 years. If anything, complaints about the blizzard boost is consistent with what many people have been asking blizzard to address for a long time. Their requests have basically been ignored by blizzard…

I never said that.

I said that the purchase of a game service can’t be immoral. Maybe it’s to hard for you to comprehend this statement.

And what exactly distinguishes game services from other services which makes them incapable of being immoral? Your opinion in this case is at best extremely naive.

Surely you’re not that daft? Or do you really not understand the classic community?
Players want an authentic, ‘‘no changes’’ game, boosting goes against that, giving mounts goes against that, character cloning cost goes agains that.
Blizzard is ruining their game before it has even come out and players have every reason to be outraged. They promised authenticity, instead we get a monetized trash with people like you paying lip service.

It’s not the boost itself, it’s the principle, going against what the core classic community asked for. This is precisely why a lot of people want to go back to private servers, because of authenticity, the core experience…something Blizzard devs cannot seem to grasp.
Without those things, you might as well play retail, a game few people give a damn about anymore precisely because of the mentality now affecting classic and TBC.

it’s so funny how many players standing up against (Blizzard paid service buying boost) while the reality of classic is about Thousands of players buying leveling boosts with gold & buying gear boosts in raid

Blizzard only introduced such service after they observed how most classic players are willing to pay to speed up level, Whether it’s a new player or an alternative account.

in truth…whoever bought or sold leveling boost for gold in classic was the main reason that blizzard did add (paid service buying boost) & those who sell/buy gold exist will force blizzard to add (Shop game token for gold)

it’s classic players who destroyed the game with their greed…not Blizzard!
