Blizzard, do not implement a 68 Boost

WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria Classic Discussion

In Wrath, a bunch of additional components were added to aid levelling.

  • Classes were redesigned.
  • LFD was added.
  • Heirloom gear was added.
  • A bunch of other gearing changes were made to ease the process.

We do NOT need a 68 Boost. If you must monetize levelling, sure, leave the 58 boost in, though I’d prefer you remove it. But whatever you do, don’t provide a 68 boost that bots will use to constantly farm Utgarde Keep and continue to destabilize the game.

If you want to make money off whales, sell a few of the mounts in the store. Add all the game services like character customization. Anything cosmetic is fine.

Just don’t provide a boost that launches people into Wrath without any training or experience again.

I hope there’s a boost and I will pay for it. I want to enjoy the endgame on suffer through leveling, I already did that in original wow+xpacs

The boost is fine. Most Classic players are WOW veterans with plenty of experience. A 68 boost does not invalidate Wrath content in any way. Bots will bot regardless. I know people that are only playing TBC because the boost allows them to skip the 1-60 content that they’ve already done a hundred times. The same will be true for Wrath.

That was not till like 3.3 or something late wrath and frankly a big mistake since the Dungeons in wrath are 100% a joke anyway.

I’m hoping LFD gets added in the pre-patch.

We don’t need a level 68 boost on a PROGRESSION SERVER to get new people to play?

I have never seen someone so out of touch with reality.

whatever they do, they gotta fix other underlying problems. Frankly the “Heroics” don’t matter much in wrath because they are weaker than normal modes in vanilla

Same thing as 2009. Yet there was no 68 boost.

Unfortunatly, WOTLK Classic will be filled with retail monetization and the 68 boost will probably be unlimited + faction/race change & maybe a Token ?

WOTLK is Classic Retail for a reason.

It’s not the same thing and wotlk had a much better 1 time boost it had recruit a friend rofl.

These are prog servers, huge difference.

I agree, recruit a friend was broken lol.

As long as it stay a 1 time 68 boost i’m fine with it. But i expect a lot of players to cry for an unlimited one.

I remember people crying nonstop about DKs starting at level 55. They would have lost their minds over a 68 boost. :rofl:

It will come no matter what, but leveling from 60 to 70 is also heavily nerfed so there is that.

13

It will also make the DK leveling experience really bad if they include the 68 boost.

In Crusade:
-XP 10-60 was nerfed.
-Group quests were nerfed.
-Dungeons were nerfed.
-Classes were buffed.
-Many new quests.
-Many item buffs.
-Many 275-300 recipes are now on trainer.
-Reputations are faster.

Point is we didn’t need a crusade boost either… but they still sold one, and they will no doubt sell a new one for wrath. You see most players bought a crusade boost, so why wouldn’t they sell a wrath boost next? Players had the opportunity to say “NO, WE DO NOT WANT THIS, WE WILL NOT BUY IT.” But they did buy it. There were boosted players EVERYWHERE. We can complain on the forums all we want but probably 100x as many people bought the boost. The majority has clearly supported boosting, whether we like it or not.

Sure we did.

This is a prog server they are temporary…we need people to play and the boost brings in new people.

Just like how the 58 boost was not an issue in TBC Classic a 68 boost in wrath would be fine too.

Someone two levels below previous expansion max in junk gear is a non issue. Most of us will be taking geared 70’s into wrath just like how we brought geared 60’s into TBC Classic. And within an hour or two you won’t even be able to tell a boosted character from anyone else.

Some people actually believe the boost is “pay 2 win”.

We’re likely to get the full 3.3.5 experience, including LFD and Dual Spec, from the start.

Counter argument: We don’t not need a 68 boost.

I still haven’t used my 58 boost (because I already had my 60’s for TBC before it was announced, not because I’m against it), but I 100% would’ve used it otherwise. The 58 boost is great, because its a good thing for the players and retention. The 68 boost will be no different. Sure, leveling is easier due to heirlooms and LFG, but that isn’t a valid reason for a 68 boost not to exist.
