Blizzard, please end mage dungeon boosting in TBC Classic WoW

[Leanbeef-zangarmarsh]

So there was no RMT trading in vanilla? yeah, there was, and in TBC, and Wrath and etc etc

[Skillance-alterac-mountains]

Literally this whole post is the OP picking fights without bringing up a single point. Why is this thread not flagged to oblivion yet? It’s not hard.

you try leveling 6 toons the “proper” way or whatever way youre requiring of other people and then come back and say you diddnt get tired midway through.

I also don’t think boosting is automatically good for the game just because people who played it a ton experienced burnout.

Taking a break at that point probably shouldn’t be a sign something is wrong with the game as much as it would just be the natural order of things.

I’d probably want a break if I was trying to raid gear 6 characters one after the other too. That doesn’t mean they should let me skip raiding and just get the gear.

@Xecksi-sulfuras

stop telling other people how to play.

All games are going to limit what you can and can’t do.

[Xecksi-sulfuras]

the game meaning blizzard tells us. i dont need other players telling me or others that their way of playing is somehow more valid .

[Sabetha-turalyon (Sabetha)]

and people are posting to try to get blizzard to change their mind about the meaning of the game.

Most people aren’t saying “don’t do mage boosting”. They’re saying “Blizzard please nerf mage boosting”.

[Brodris-aegwynn]

Was that not the whole point of classic y’all really don’t know what you want do u

[Sádist-illidan]

I think you mistake classic for vanilla… I’m not in this for classic vanilla, I’m in it for classic TBC. I know exactly what I want… no leveling was not the point of classic.

[Negald-aggramar]

So basically retail?

[Bonehammer-thrall]

@Sádist-illidan

Why do you dislike this so much, the majority of the player base doesn’t wanna level in classic. It’s long, grindy and boring. Not everyone wants to experience the old content’s leveling…

You have a very valid point and there is nothing wrong with wanting the type of game you desire. The thing is that it already exists in retail. The whole point of the revamps was for people who preferred the old way. Their points and desires are just as valid as yours are.

What is so wrong with wanting both groups to have their game? The Classic revamps for the people you describe as “purists” and retail for those that prefer more convenience. You are wanting both games to cater to you and neither to cater to the other group.

@Shygirl-grobbulus

If you don’t like playing Classic, maybe don’t? I’m not sure what your argument is.

I always find it funny when it’s someone arguing for changes that says this.

They clearly don’t like how classic is being played, and argue for it to be changed, but it’s the people who want it to remain the same that should quit.

Ok bud.

[Kuyahandwa-hyjal]

@Shygirl-grobbulus

The dungeon boosters themselves are often selling the gold they make providing the service. This mean they’re selling the gold to the player, and getting that same gold back from the player, in an endless cycle which harms the community at large.

Got any proof for this claim?

[Eonwe-herod]

The entire point of classic is to give us people with time to level a game we enjoy. You people with no time to play already have your facebook retail game you can log into for 5 minutes a day to pick up your unfulfilling rewards. Stop trying to turn the game we had to fight for into what you already have.

[Cauchy-heartseeker]

@Sabetha-turalyon

it should absolutely not be done with an AoE cap.

Actually, there should be an AoE cap. Mage farming also lends to the gold farming problems.

[Stormherald-khazgoroth (Stormherald)]

Vanilla classic is over.

i’d give it 6/10.

The Buff meta, Engineering, and bracket boosting for pvp killed it for me.

The modern gaming community is crap.

Yes i am a boomer now, im 37 and played Vanilla when i was 20/21/22.

[Jtgam-pagle]

Yup. This is completely on Blizzard. They need to be much more proactive in stopping RMT in the form of botters, gold sellers, and gold buyers. If they did this, boosting wouldn’t be nearly as prevalent.

People would have less botted cash to pay mages, so mages would be less willing to boost for the lesser amount of gold.

[Negald-aggramar]

I’m actually curious about why he’s not playing retail. Seems like that has what he’s looking for.

[Shygirl-grobbulus]

WoW Classic - TBC Beta Mage 1 Pull SP - 80,000+ XP IN 6 MINUTES!

This is the type of game integrity the people in this thread are trying to defend.

A community that historically cries for balance, yet defends a class having this much power.

Genius.

Yes I know you want to reply and say this video was done without AOE cap, but Flamestrike will fill in the blanks and it will be doable. Same with 500 enemy pull in Mara. The only people arguing against this are the ones making money from boosting with their mage. That’s evidence enough that it needs to be reigned in.

[Auras-thrall]

@Shygirl-grobbulus

The dungeon boost leveling meta in Classic WoW has been one of the two largest influences for players to purchase gold from shady RMT websites.

understood. we’ll fix it by adding wow token to the game

[Others-benediction]

You are in luck. The age of the mage boost is over! Let the age of the paladin boost begin!

[Daedrik-benediction]

I’m confused… lvling in outlands is 95% the same as azeroth… gather 10 of this kill 10 of that… so ergo if Azeroth questing/ leveling is bad then wouldn’t outlands questing and leveling be bad??
