Title says it all. Is it worth leveling it the traditional way for the experience or spending the cash to boost? Please let me know what you think and why!

I mean it’s up to you. Honestly the number 1 complaint is people complaining about never having time. If you genuinely like the leveling experience and don’t mind the leveling, then I recommend it from scratch. Can work on your professions while you level instead of having to go back, establish a bit more gear for a more smooth transition into TBC and the quests giving rep towards factions you may consider getting a mount from someday.

I personally don’t like boosting. I tried boosting a Hunter with new account in the xpac before Shadowlands, after being gone from the game since mid-MoP (& lost my old 2004-2012? account info) & it was lame. No connection to the character, no tradeskills to match level, etc. Also, some of the quests & such were borked for boosted characters. Just not my thing. Retail sucked anyway, so I quit after the first month. Waste of money.
I would race change my Classic era Human Mage to a Draenei though if I could, rather than level up another from scratch.

I’m generally anti-boost, especially for the price, but I’d have been tempted if I could have done it for my belf paladin.
Lil’ bastard would be 70 already if I could have started from 58 
First I will say I won’t and wouldn’t boost.
I recommend actually leveling tho because as you go through the first 60 levels you learn slowly you “oh crap” buttons and get acclimated and accustomed to the toon as you work it up. The little things you learn along the way have significant value.

You say that but a lot of the ret paladins I’ve grouped with since hitting 60 still don’t know things like “Sanc aura helps your dps” and “ffs, there’s seals other than righteousness”
That doesn’t mean everyone learns everything. But you learn things, little things, as you level. Some people can’t be taught and we ignore those people. I will assume OP has some rationale thoughts and a desire to learn. He sought opinions without just leaping and throwing money at a problem so maybe he actually benefits properly.
People always have the argument “You learn the class leveling it!” but I guess googling “tbc paladin guide” is the hardest thing in the world or something.
I boosted a warrior because I wanted one for TBC and with how much I have going on in life I didn’t have the time to level one, doesn’t mean I don’t play my warrior properly.
level standard on high pop server because you will find groups.
boost if you picked a mid pop server because groups will be scarce.
it’s night and day experience.
Go Whitemane Alliance PVP, or Atiesh Alliance PVE. You will not regret either of those servers.
For a paladin, thats right click and netflix windowed. Just boost.

That’s something else I’m glad you brought up. People can look up a guide and learn what abilities do what, but the leveling experience teaches you how to master those skills and how to manage them into situations. You can tell a veteran of a class vs someone who isn’t as familiar with it based on how they utilize their tool kits. A guide just can’t teach you to assess and react to a situation with a skill without the experience.
I won’t even say master. As you level say ret you won’t learn prof or holy as much if you plan to respec. It’s just you learn a little more about all your less used skills because of brief moments here and there. Just gives you some character experience that is truly helpful
when you boost a character it just doesn’t feel like yours. I only feel attached to my characters if I leveled them starting from 1.
That was kind of what I was afraid of
I’d boost it, 35 bucks is a pretty good deal, not much money at all.
lawl ten characters
I’m a major supporter of boosting a character since it’s an official service offered by blizzard.
Leveling from 1 is a chore now as nobody does old world content unless it’s a dungeon boosting level 70 mage.
I think you should boost a character
