In a very minor fashion at worst. These problems exist regardless of boosts.
hmmm didnt they said in a recent interview that they are lookin to increase the server capacity???(might be wrong tho) as for faction inbalance hmmm no not really especially with that now both ally and horde palas get the same seal…for class inbalance i would ve say maybe if it was in classic but tbc has a lot more class diversity when it comes to raiding
And making them worse is good as long as you don’t have to play the game for 3days to get to 60?
Yeah they said they are looking into that… let’s see how that will turn out.
Seals are a very minor thing if you compare it to orc, belf, troll racials.
Sure more specs are ‘viable’ in raids, but you don’t want more then 1 boomking, 1 rogue, 1 retpaly. Hunters and warlocks though, can stack 4+ of each and breeze through t4-t6. One thing that held people back from switching was needing to level again.
I don’t get it, what’s your point?
If your whole guild can just buy a boost you can start over as horde on a horde favored server. Making it even more horde favored. Right now, that’s not an option because we don’t have boost in the game.
Can I just interject here with the assurance that you really don’t need dungeons to level. I have not entered a single dungeon on this priest - not even one, null, nill, nada.
That may change today as I’m kind-of wanting to go to Zul’farak as there’s a tonne of quests I want to do - but even if I didn’t I will still get to level cap through quests alone with no issues whatsoever.

Well there might be some guilds that might do that, but that’s probably a minority. I doubt people who are already playing would do that, especially since they are currently playing, they can do that without paying the boost.
Edit : So overall, yes it might make the problem worse, but overall it is so minor that it doesn’t matter, especially since the problem of faction imbalance can be solved by…balancing the factions. I am against boosts but boosts have nothing to do with this.
Congrats on playing an MMORPG as if it were a single player game, I guess? I for one play WoW to play an MMORPG, not just an RPG.
I think a part of it so making sure people who didn’ t play classic don’t miss out on the launch hype but I also have heard a lot of defence from the angle that players don’t have enough time to level up which wouldn’t change just because we are in phase 2. There would still be players who are behind because there always are.
what did they say that implied this to you? Because I heard no such implication
You serious?
It is when it isn’t punished or punished regularly enough which is the case in classic due to blizz’ laziness and corner-cutting
You don’t understand the fundamental concept and way a competitive mind works, I’ve already explained how it works in my previous reply, if that doesn’t explain it for you, there’s not much I can do. It’s beyond your capacity of understanding.
But being a cheater may be the most competitive option when it isn’t punished. I’d say one of the only things that distinguishes cheating from legitimate gameplay from a practical perspective is that one results in punishment and the other doesn’t.
Nothing to do with it. If you know that if you cheat that you are likely to get banned, you are less likely to do it. That was my point
Your still coming out on top thus u have beaten them, just ilegitamately.
It will make you more competitive for alts and also is the most competitive option for new and returning players. Thus putting the most optimal option for levelling a toon behind an IRL pay wall.
broad and sweeping generalisations don’t make good arguments
This is some big facts and one of my biggest frustrations with the changes is there is a fundamental lack of understanding of TBC and how it actually works.
I don’t know how common it will be for entire guilds to faction hop but I do think on an individual basis this behaviour will be quite common.
Yeah they act like having boosting meta ruins levelling for new players like they don’t even know what the metas are yet. They probably need normal levelling the most. There was nothing worse and more boring for levelling than when there were crap loads of dungeon groups because then u felt compelled to dungeon grind which was probably one of the worst metas ever in gaming PERIOD (ofc that is just an opinion).
this will be a massive mistake. The servers were already too big in classic, making them even bigger is going to cause severe problems long term. At launch it’ll be pretty bad too.
so mature
ikr, some people in this thread who are pro boost don’t appear to be even trying. They just say ‘‘boost good cus my friend likes it’’ then proceed to call me selfish and so fourth.
all I hear from these ‘‘proboost’’ posts are ‘‘I don’t want people to play the game to get things in a grind that is way less tedious then many that are yet to come at 70… one that everyone else had to do but longer because Azeroth levelling in TBC is already faster than it is in vanilla’’ lol… who cares if people can buy progression as long as it brings more people into the community (who then 90% of which will likely leave like true tourists do) thus making blizz’ wallet bigger and healthier
most efficient way to get a char up to level for either end game or profession cooldowns

Ah I see. Playing it wrong am I?
Good to know.
So, what’s the correct way of playing? How should I adjust my playstyle and change it so as to properly conform to the proper manner of playing?
It’s a shame, as I was actually really enjoying the game, and I didn’t think I was hurting anyone by only doing quests - but so be it. If I’m doing it wrong then I must obviously endeavour to get it right in future.

To a certain extent you have to play with others but for general day to day playing you can treat it like any other RPG.
I think people play how they want tbh…
I mainly play solo but have my guild there if I ever fancy helping someone out
Ignore them.
Your playing is fine!
Actually, the gameplay balance should lean the other way. You should mostly have to interact with other players with a side of solo stuff. It isn’t an RPG, it’s an MMORPG.

yes…maybe some ppl that missed classic and would want to play TBC dont feel very eager to level up in a dead world full of mage and soon to be pally boosters…and blizz being a business capitalize on this opportunity to make more money…u know…what a business does…we already had this conversation when i told you that player perspective on changes and business perspective dont match…its as clear as it gets why they do it and what customers are mainly targeted …its also note worthy that the boost will affect you in a very minimal way if at all
but as a player I’m not arguing for what makes blizzard the most money. I don’t care about that. I care about what makes the best game. As for the ‘‘it doesn’t affect me thing’’, I’ve explained countless times throughout this, now massive, thread how in fact it does. I refuse to repeat myself for your pleasure. You’re stuck in your ways and nothings gonna change your mind so there is no point discussing it further because u’ll just go back to the same surface level points.
