This is Blizzard making money. Boost will stay.
Itâs easy to comprehend what it is that you are trying to convey but that doesnât make it easy to agree with.
doesnât make it good?

What does it matter? This is a company making money off their product.

It matters because it totally goes against everything classic is

There was a manifesto for Classic ? no.
Devs said they wanted to bring in 2020 the experience of Vanilla.
They did? surely.
Now is TBC time and TBC is Outland mainly not redo vanilla content, so not only is fine because makes people play TBC main content and thus $$$ for them but also because, and this is quite important but people keep missing it
If you enable people to catch up with TBC and let them play it first, you have more chance when they are at 70 to get addicted again and thus to begin prone to level another char in which case they will be willing to exp from scratch.
Boost main purpose is to make people that didnt play classic nor are interested to play atm, to start TBC like if they just entered the portal.
It will not refrain people to make alts once they are at 70 au contraire.

If boomers like you still played Classic with batching, bots, boost etc
I mean you cant really bother any changes no? You still played instead of quit in spite of these downside.
The game is world of Warcraft, tbc is just an expansion. You need to play the game in order to play the expansion.
You should not be able to bypass parts of the game with your wallet. Whatâs next? Farming gold is boring, bring in the wowtoken?
Leveling up professions is boring, pay 30$ for max Prof skill?
Farming honor/marks is boring, pay $$

Exactly.
You NEED to go through the base game first before the expansion.
Thatâs how it should be

Just came to see whether, similarly to the same thread on the US forums, it was the same very few people arguing against the boost. Iâm not surprised to see that it is.
Played Classic from launched and loved it, and canât wait to use the boost to skip levelling for the nth time and play another class in TBC.

main thread is on the classic forum, this is just a link to that. The initial post has far more traction. 
What you lot canât understand is once you can buy and skip content for real life money in a MMO, you break the contract which says âall you have in the game is things you earned in the game and not by real moneyâ then you might use this âlogicâ to many other things. I can take this quote from you and say.
âMy friends are raiding sunwell plateau but I donât want to gear my character up by killing hundreds of undead horses in Karazhan, but I want to play with my friends and raid SWP, so they should sell gear ingame in order to get me play with my friends.â
Possible outcomes of an ingame boost has been very well argumented under this thread, bots is only one of them. So stop being lazy as you are ingame and read up above.
Not everybody is interesting in TBC levelling either? Not everybody is interested in levelling gathering professions. Not everybody is interested in running normal dungeons to get blue gear. Not everybody is interested in gruulâs lair. Not everybody is interested in doing arenas/BGs every day to start playing actually competitive pvp matches.
So with your logic, EVERYTHING can be sold in the cash shop.
It is very easy to understand your weak logic because it requires completely no wisdom or intelligence to understand it as to formulate and write it down.
Another certified forum troll is bringing âlove it or leave itâ argument up. iTâS nOt hARd tO unDErStanD iT RigHT?".
Thanks Bruno, itâs a very original contribution to the discussion.
Well, totally agree.
But I can tell you: soon enough they will start selling tokens, then mounts in the cash shop, then everything else.
They will turn this game into a scuffed browser game where you can buy everything and nothing is actually an achievement in the game, just like retail, they will ruin the game, then the actual gamer crowd will quit the game, just like in retail. The entire classic project was started in the first place so that level boosts, cash shop etc. wasnât in the game.
Then these babies will follow the gamer crowd to that game, then start crying for boosts in that game, ruin that game and then follow the gamer crowd to the next game after they leave.
This is the cycle of life in video games. Ridicilous and petty, but it is what it is.

Let me just add this little nugget,
killing 40 boars in westfall all by yourself
killing 40 worgs in terrokar with your friends, guild mates, random people
which of those is the better mmo experience?
which of those is more likely to be enjoyable?
which of those are you most likely to have on your mind on the way home from work?
youâve said the quest is the same, the work required is the same, so whats different? doing it in a zone full of peopleâŚmaybe?
yes at the moment ive noticed the lower zones are full of new characters, and thats great, but soon when tbc is here those zones wont be full, all those alts being levelled will be on the bench and the players will be in tbc with their mains (killing the 40 worgs).
yes there is time right now to level up and i suspect some of the new characters in those low level zones are new or returning players, HOWEVER, and this is the bit to digest, not everyone who wants to play tbc is able to play wow at all at the moment. there are plently of RL reasons why somebody may not be able to join in just yet, or cant start for a few months and then finds out in 2 weeks its time for tbc.
without knowing the release date we cant comment on or judge those who use the boost due to RL reasons and scheduling conflicts
and before you say âif they cant play now how are they gonna play then?â - listen, people could be on tours, could be working on projects away from home, could be doing research abroad, could have a deadline for final year uni work stuff, who knows what or why, its not for us to determine those people must suffer simply because you enjoy the levelling experience.
Really really hope Blizzard reverts this

For who? You or everyone?
I like to raid, I like to PvP, I like leveling too but i already have 4 60, so if I can skip one for a realy annoying class to level great⌠It will allow me to dedicate my limited time to gearing my other chars.
Why canât you get along with your 4 level 60s?
Does everyone with âlimited timeâ deserve to have 5 level 60s?
And, how does it fit the narrative of Blizzard trying to justify it saying âit will help new players to help play with their friendsâ? Someone else with 20 level 60s can not have another level 60s and make them all tailor/alch alts to dominate a serverâs AH?
