Doesn’t Blizzard support the bot community through their inaction in dealing with the issue? So you are supporting people who support botting because they profit from it. And that’s … better? Apparently? I’m really not sure if Blizzard has the moral high ground here.
But to get back to my original point, people are far more reluctant to buying gold from gold Sellers than then are from Blizzard just like you, so this inevitably leads to fewer boosts. And people who want a boost without spending any real money have to spend a metric butt ton of time farming gold in the first place, at which point just bloody leveling is probably easier. And if they do have that money, then that money came from the game, and ended-up in the game. The closed-loop system was maintained, which it definitely isn’t when Blizzard just decides to create something from nothing.
‘Retailers’ - they are already playing classic, have been for a long while, sorry to burst your bubble.
“The game should change to fit me!” - the game isnt and wont be changing, we can argue this till the cows come home but in the general sense of the game, it isnt changing, no content is being added or removed. Once you log in the game files are the same, and tbh we dont know where the boost ‘button’ will be, could be that you need to visit the website in which case the game files wont change at all! In your opinion the boost removes 58 levels of content, but that is only your opinion and doesnt mean the game is changing, nor does it mean boosted players will ignore classic content all together!
“Not only are these kind of people more likely to request even more changes to the game” - proof please, and i wont be accepting any flippant comment from the forums or past events as fact or evidence that these players are actually asking for more QoL stuff. For a start, you cant prove who is behind any of these forum avatars let alone what they play or how they play it.
making us who desperately wanted Classic servers for years have them taken away from us - you heard of classic era servers right? no boost there!
they also bring their toxic GO GO GO RUSH RUSH RUSH and similar mentalities, which the leveling would otherwise, at least in part, weed-out. - again, please show me evidence that these so called ‘retailers’ have this attitude, i assume you’ve been taking evidence from retail servers and compiling records and stats on this?
Honestly the class war or whatever it is between these so called groups of players is beyond stupid.
There are ‘GO GO GO’ players in both versions of the game, just like there are relaxed explorers in both!
“We don’t know how this mount will be obtained, but due to its ties to Outland, we suspect it will be tied to a Burning Crusade Classic promotion”
It hasn’t been stated as being a store mount.
Although my issue here is its adding a new item, regardless of how its obtain, it’s a non TBC in game item which should NOT be added, even if it does look cool AF
Any Blue poster responding to this post yet? Nope ofcourse not, I am nigh convinced that Blizzard funnels employees to actively down talk and be the counter voice to all of these garbage implementations.
So np mate. Enjoy it. Some random andy buying boost cant ruin your or your guild fun. I cant get over it how some people are mad about it…while i understand why they are mad it seems childish in my eyes. Just enjoy the game
Edit: i understand that on RP server its an issue i have to apologize…that make sense
i will enjoy game, and if not i will have copy on lvl 60 era (hope they are not gonna change something there)
I dont need play TBC classic, but i have passion for original TBC.
All what classic community wanted was ingame GMs, and we got retail char boost.
Care to point out where I said anything to the contrary? Surprise surprise, not all people who play Retail are exactly identical. I never said they were. I thought that was obvious and was left as an exercise for the reader, but hey ho, here we are anyway.
I never said boosts are in and of themselves bad. I’m saying boosting for real money, especially one offered by Blizzard, is bad. Also you might notice that in that context, I wasn’t talking about boosts specifically, but changes in general as indicated by my use of the word “changes” in my original comment. But I guess that’s my fault for not putting enough bloody disclaimers per sentence into that comment to make that clear.
But if there were people selling LFD, LFR, Legion Artifact weapons and the MoP talent tree system back in the day, I’d be very much interested to see that.
Disclaimer: In this context, LFD, LFR, Legion Artefact weapons and MoP talent tree system don’t mean LFD, LFR, Legion Artefact weapons and MoP talent tree system, but are rather used as a vessel to convey the absurdity of the idea that introducing changes to the game is OK because the community used to do something similar anyway.
Disclaimer 2: Yes, I know people weren’t asking for LFR and MoP talent trees. See previous disclaimer.
I’ve been playing this game for well over a decade. It really isn’t difficult to see how much the mentality has changed among the playerbase. Where spending 2 hours in WC was perfectly normal back in the day seemds unthinkable today.
Disclaimer (because apparently that’s the kind of conversation we are having): Yes, there are people who play Retail and would have no issue spending two hours in a dungeon. I’m talking about the average player, or the attitude a randomly selected player from Retail is likely to have. Disclaimer 2 (is this what the world has become now?) : Surprisingly enough, this is based on an observation, and is presented as such. I did not, and do not make any claims as to the factuality of said observation. Just like the original comment, and just like the vast majority of comments on these forums. Disclaimer for disclaimer 2: My “just like the vast majority of comments on these forums.” comment was, too, based on a personal observation and is not presented as a fact. Disclaimer for disclaimer for disclaimer 2: I didn’t actually think putting a disclaimer to a disclaimer was necessary, but am merely using it to point-out the absurdity of the situation that baseless and incorrect assumptions made about previous comments inherently bring.
Two can play that game.
Proof please?
Proof please.
Disclaimer: I’m not actually looking for proof, but rather am trying to highlight the hypocrisy in you asking for a proof to my personal observations that you thought were presented as fact, while you present your observations in the same manner without providing a proof yourself.
Disclaimer 2: Not everything I said in this comment was necessarily in response to what you might have said in your comment, but rather were put in here to further reiterate on my opinions presented previously.
Disclaimer 3: This comment is a satire more than anything, and should be treated as such. It doesn’t aim to convey any factual information apart from reiterations to my previous comments.
Disclaimer 4: This disclaimer actually serves no purpose, other than making an even higher percentage of this comment a disclaimer, because at this point I get a serious kick out of it lol.
So you wrote a wall of jibberish, although it did make me chuckle at the end
But none the less, you seem to be campaigning against these so called retailers and i think you’d be surprised at how many folks dont care about this divide or classification and simply just play both.
Also the idea that its only retailers that ‘go go go’ is wrong, and i know this from my time playing classic although maybe i got super unlucky and had an all retail player group on many many occasions.
You are partaking in a stupid class war between classic and retail.
