I think boost is fine for those who don’t want to spend their time lvling and have classic experience - they want jump into tbc content asap. 1 boost per account I think its fine
You have 0 notable achievements, you are a casual player. it will never affect you, since you are not playing the game to begin with
there’s no really much to say that hasn’t been already. This is a pretty surface level point and I feel as if I’ve provided enough arguments to suffice. But I appreciate you giving your opinion.
gatekeeping
Also, this is my forum alt
Also, ‘‘you’re bad so you can’t have an opinion’’
May I ask what you’ve done exactly? I’ve never heard of you before
What do you mean I am not playing the game ? Ofc I am
He’s talking to me not you
To be fair, you’ve done your share of insults to players that doesnt play the game how you deem it be played.
That doesn’t justify what the troll said.
But I have felt slightly insulted with terms like ‘tourist’ and your idea that I need to dedicate a set amount of time as anything other than that isn’t playing the game.
How i play and how I enjoy the world of warcraft is my business and it doesnt need to meet your requirements.

this is a straight up lie
No it doesn’t, especially considering I haven’t done what you just said.
never called anyone I was debating a tourist. Also, tourist meant a player who come to see the content (sight seeing) then bounce. Tourists don’t really benefit the community but that’s not saying they can’t do it but as long as they level to see the content (assuming there was no boost)
Also, pretending ‘tourist’ is at all comparable to hard r
And the game doesn’t need to meet your requirements. These kind of arguments are so meaningless. Instead, we should actually talk about how the boost impacts the game. TBC was a set way, blizzard added something from a future xpac to cater to players like you, so the only one setting requirements it seems are players like yourself. All I’m asking for is for the game’s philosophy to not be altered.
Just ignore that guy, pretty sure he just came to troll

There’s not a single legitimate point from the OP lol, what a waste of time to read (and write) this.
Keep crying, blizzard made the right choice, and they will stick to it.
Cos voicing your opinion is crying now?
I’d say the classic audience. Basically retail and classic are meant to appease 2 very different crowds so I say design one completely old fashioned and the other very modern. Therefore, the level boost is a very modern concept so leave that in retail and keep it out of the classic game.
I’m part of the Classic audience, and I’m very much looking forward to using a boost to switch to a character which will be a new main in TBC.
I have a Priest, Rogue and Mage at 60 and this one isn’t far off, but I just don’t have it in me to do it again. After completing the levelling process close to four times, it has become more a feat of endurance which I don’t enjoy spending my time on, as opposed to the damn good time is was the first few times.
I get the impression from some quotes here from various people as well as other places, that Boosts vs No Boosts is Classic lovers vs Non Classic lovers, and that just isn’t the case!
As en EDIT, kudos to all the people discussing this in a respectful, civil way. The US forums are awful right now, which saddens me. Having a flick through their BC forum, I saw a post where someone claimed an addon is being made to identify those who, regardless of reason, chose to boost and those players will be griefed and blacklisted. This may be the most toxic thing I have ever seen from WoW players and it is just straight up saddening… =/
wow, good argument
thank you
ironic
in your opinion
probably
you might like classic but you can’t love the type of game classic was and is (right now) if you want the boost.
yeah we mostly have been able to keep it civil, a few trolls here and there.
The US summed up tbh
meh, if it deters people from buying the boost thus making it less likely for blizzard to add these kind of things in the future then I’m all for it. If you don’t want to be killed, just play on a pve server.
Blizzard only gets away with adding these paid services because a small minority of players whale on them so if we create a negative social consequence for supporting blizzard then it might stop the cycle from repeating.

I indeed loved the game Classic was and the game Classic is. The only difference is I don’t have the same kind of time as I did back in the day. If I did, though less enjoyable fourth time around, I may have levelled again to get a new main up to speed for TBC. But I don’t, and the service is available, so I’ll gladly use it.
Given how reasonable a person you seem based on reading your input on this thread, it’s disappointing that even someone so against the boost would see this as acceptable in any way at all.
It’s regrettable that a change Blizzard is implementing has made some WoW players so angry, but it’s clear there is a market for it right now; among Classic players as well as Retail players and players that enjoy both.
This isn’t directed at you necessarily, but it’s always disappointing to see players trying to take an option they will never use, away from players who will use said option.
I am in the same boat, going to use boost to level one of the classes I love to raid with but hate to level. Have 4 60 already, most in guild feel the same way. The argument you will get bad players is just void, there may be some but they won’t be in our guild unless they join as social. And you have people the level all the way and still are bad so meh…

Well if the service is available then I can’t blame you for using it. I’m just trying to stop it from being added (which isn’t likely) before you (or any1 else) have said option.
Well tbh griefing is against the ToS so for griefing specifically, you could report them. But ganking and social consequences are on the table.
At the end of the day, you can’t make people want to play with you.
I won’t be doing it personally because I won’t be playing TBC if the boost is still in. But even if I did play, this idea seems impractical and a waste of effort mostly.
it isn’t void. The counter to what you’ve just said has already been established previously in this thread… you’re a stubborn one!

Truly a shame that it seems very unlikely you’ll be there in Outlands. But keep fighting the good fight.
So long, friend!
hehe, it isn’t really a form of protest, I just won’t enjoy the game with things like that in. But I will play classic fresh realms if they do those.
P.S. Blobbers & Copperbolts don’t believe me!

You can avoid contact with them though, I for one will for example only do HCs with guildies until we outgear them significantly. The worst that could happen is that a few are in our bgs, other than that I won’t see em
Honestly it would be the dumbest reason not to play TBC that I have heard, and I am not saying you are dumb. Just that the discomfort of other people using boost is soooo little versus the fun you probably would have in a decent guild in TBC, I find that choice absurd.
