Why the level 58 boost is bad for the game #stoptheboost

Is there any need for personal attacks?
Grow up

There’s a Fresh Crusade reroll guild happening tonight, you could have joined that and met new players in time for TBC.

Edit: Reported anyway.

Haha, how is learning by doing is considered being an elitist? We all were newbies once upon a time, then we learned the game by playing and levelling, and even at the endgame content we kept learning more.

Now someone who buys a boost the first day he starts a game and joins a dungeon group and makes other people wipe over and over, how is that being an elitist to say that it’s wrong?

Let’s say if I start playing football today then want to play in Barcelona tomorrow, then when they say “you need to start from the lower leagues first”, they are being elitist p…s for that?

These boys can do nothing but talk smack and call names that they don’t even understand a single bit…

That elitist prick is right though

Another MMO got destroyed by paid boosts last month.

Not by paid boost but pay to win for whales.

Every paid boost is a great opportunity for whales.

I just discovered this guy yesterday actually.
His videos are interesting.

The one where he talks about why convenience in MMORPGS is spot on regarding the boost

Ok, so you’re a kid. Given by your rote regurgitation of alt right memes from 2018 I’d guess your age at maybe 15, possible 16 at a push.

So there’s not much point in trying to reason with you, as kids don’t really know their own minds until they reach an appropriate level of maturity.

I’ve also reported your earlier post.

You’re right Majesty. This is the kind of person who calls for boosts. He really is the target audience. Impatient, ‘edgy’, bratty, emo kid who came from retail to try Classic because, but lacks the attention span to hack it.

Boost? and the fact that you need to buy all endgame gear? and pay to enhance it? And it’s obsolete every what 3 months? I’d say paid boost was the least of its problems. And it wasn’t a good game to begin with anyway

That is not what he’s saying.
They’ve put a 3x xp gain boost for real money in the game shop. They also had this system where realm first achievements give you bonus stats or skills.

So all the rich tryhards bought that xp boost package and raced to max level on new servers leaving their old characters because that realm first achievement can only be acquired once and is permanent.
So other people got dumped on and quit the game.

Not exactly the same thing with 58 boost but has common points. Like a Qatari Sheikh’s son with 10 million euros in his bank account can buy 1000 level 58 boosts and destroy your server’s economy. I’m giving you an extreme and ridicilous example so that it can be understood easier. But it is possible when there is a paid level boost in a game.

He has really good content and we speak the same language with him, because he is an MMORPG player like us.
He speaks about game systems, community interactions, player driven economy, immersion, company policies, community-developer relations, feeling “inside” the game, separating ingame from real life status etc.

He is an MMORPG player that thinks about the general game design, principles, philosophies, styling, audience etc. and not what he wants this weekend: “I wunt a new max luvul chaructur plz sell me dat”.

Great guy overall, I watched him a lot this week.

How does having a 1000 accounts with a level 58 destroy a server economy? Is he going to flood the market with peacebloom?

Perfect. His ‘wise sage on the mountain’ analogy fits in perfectly with this discussion.

Convenience kills MMORPGs. Damned right.

If convenience kills MMOs why did Shadowlands sell like hotcakes? Name one MMO with less convenience and more players? Even P-servers added “convenience” to wow, and charged money for it as well. You need a time machine to go back to 2004, it’s 2021 now and life has changed…

It’s funny because you mention retail because retail expansions always get a sh*t ton of players at launch and then they drop off DRASTICALLY (look at sub count from Cata - WoD).

Seems convenience attracts tourists but sucks for retaining players because you see everything without resistance and then either get a false impression of the game or get bored or see everything you cared about and now are satisfied (which a game shouldn’t want to do for its’ own sake) but cus blizz makes so much money from those launches + small % of whales on the cash shop that it doesn’t matter.

What did nostalrius or elysium sell again? (I played on those so don’t BS)
