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

Because there’s a huge difference levelling in the old world world and levelling in TBC where they use the more modern quest hub system and the quests have a little more variety.

It also doesn’t take an average of 240 played hours in TBC

I take it you’ve already sent them your feedback? You can always do this from the Battle.net-launcher, subbed or not, afaik :slight_smile:

Is it ok to tell them that boost is just fine or just indifferent to it?

Well, ofc! It’s feedback after all. If you’re a big supporter of the boost and think Blizzard did a really good thing by implementing it, then sure, you can tell them. I personally disagree with the boost and think that those passionate enough for TBC would have leveled anyway, but that’s just me :stuck_out_tongue:

this just in:most people play for end content,people dont care for starting point of the game when theres whole load waiting at the end of boring part.Slow leveling process is outdated and should have been long forgotten.

They cut levels/xp needed for leveling on retail because it would have gotten to unbearable point,where it would drive people off from playing the game.People want to see the end and what it offers.Some also complain about boost on retail,which is pretty funny when now you can level stupidly fast on it.

On classic I could see a reason for 58 boost,also since they are NOT charging us for BC again and they are company after all.They are after some profit,any other remake/remaster that came out,well get your credit card if you want to play it.Want everyone to dish out 40-60e for BC or will it be just the usual cry about boost that it somehow"iT ruInS mY ExPeRiAnCe".Want everything free in your life?People not getting paid somehow for their work?

They are not giving anyone advantage with the boost,you could be 60 already,hell start today slow as snail and you will be ready for BC,epic mount,proffesions maxed out,get in raids…gg…what will boosted char have?58 levels…thats it,nothing else.

Yep
Did this when I unsubbed

It’s outdated for retail.
But this is why we asked for classic.

Exactly so why do you need a boost?

What world are you living in!
This is TBC not Retail!
There is no end game at this stage.
Only a handfull of dailys per day.
Arena if you are into it.
And 2 raids not including Karazhan as it is seen in the beta test that its just faceroll.
I am about to cancel my sub as well. Just holding on by a single thread as the more I see in PTR results the more I hate what the game is turning into.

I lost 10 players this week including most of my guild management to this as well.
I expect there will be a mass exodus when the prepatch drops if all we see in the PTR come to pass. I also saw achievements added if that is the case I will not play it as well.

I hope there will be.
Its the only way to make Blizzard listen

Just stay in classic with the rest of us, with the new classic servers that will most likely merge im expecting a quite lively classic wow.

Oh don’t worry, I’m only staying subbed until pre-patch release. If the boost comes with the pre-patch, I’m gone.

The difference is negligible. TBC is more of the same stuff man trust. Kill 10 boars here, kill 10 bears there.

And we love it

Leveling should be regulated in a way that you could do all content (all quests and dungeons) and then naturally (without grinding) you hit max level. In Retail, whole continents become obsolete, in a couple of hours.

So we have players, that enjoyed the game, and players that want exclusively one part of it. Mainly, they want to skip the RPG and MMO parts of MMORPG game(s). And some of them even consider it the right way.

I believe, that MMOs are (almost) dead, because of the second group. Admittedly, the largest.

We just need separate servers. One for “boosting” mentality players and one for old style players.

PS: I am expressing my thoughts, from a perspective of a Vanilla, TBC and WotLK player. Had I played for the past 16 years, maybe I would have different view.

To some degree, what makes Classic so great is the beauty in the simplicity.

yes, this is a complete sentence

at least the lvl 58 boosted characters will have no dungeon potential when they start;
a box of green gear, a 60% mount and about 20 gold after training spells, and no specific gear like healing or tanking stuff, its just really bad dps gear.

but yeah i get that that’s not the issue here… the issue is the jumpstart and how it helps bots proliferate way more effectively than they did when they had to overcome the hurdle of leveling from 1-60

can’t boost pala on horde so rip for me, they doesn’t wan’t my money lul

I agree. I mean in some aspects it is TOO simple for modern standards (such as the boss mechanic complexity) but overall it still holds up and in fact does many aspects of MMO design better than all the current games on the market, including retail wow itself.

True. When I’ve tried other modern MMOs it feels like there’s something missing, and that’s the RPG in the MMORPG, and that they don’t feel as much as a simulated world cus of all the teleporting and excessive focus on instanced content. That’s why this boost pisses me off cus it takes away from the world and the journey and makes the game more similar to the plethora of modern MMOs we have already…

This is one of the funniest stuff I have seen in a while (since you were reporting players for ganking or some other crazy bollocks earlier).

True or not it is satire at its best both ways.
