These people should just be thankful Blizzard is letting us send existing Classic characters to the TBC servers. They could have easily made the servers completely separate where we all had to make new characters.
Yeah itâs really amazing that anybody would be at all concerned about trivializing the effort/reward structures of the âclassic eraâ game by introducing pay2win real money transactions.
Totally unexpected. Nobody could have seen this coming.
That said, it is a bit of a sore spot that, unless you clone, the âremnantâ of the characters on the server you donât send them to take up a character slot, and many people who got screwed by gold sellers canât delete the clone they donât want to make room for a new alt
Iâm sure this will be hot fixed soon.
Imagine paying a measly $40 to save days worth of leveling and time, and be mad that you didnât get more.
I legit would have been happy with no mount and gray gear for that price. Iâm not even memeing
youâre mad that people can skip irrelevant content. the boosters are mad they canât get free gear. both of you are salty and thatâs the point Iâm making

So did Blizzard allow people to swipe their credit card for a level 58 character in the original TBC ?
what does the original TBC have to do with TBC Classic?

Dang thatâs a tough question, I really canât put my finger on it
Thatâs ok, I can wait, Iâll be around all night on my other monitor while Iâm busy leveling my warrior 
it says everywhere they do not start with max poisons you have to level it yourself
Why doesnât your forum avatar say âWoW Classicâ next to it?? Please explain??
And what is that ugly, horrible retail clownsuit gear you are wearing?
Yes, this is why thereâs a 69$ version, it has more added to it.
You save DAYS of time doing the same grind youve already done before. Thatâs enough for $40 imo. Probably wouldnât have paid more, but Im having fun with my undergeared boost.

Thatâs true ⌠and those people should go play a different game. Thatâs a much better option than Blizzard making this game worse for everyone, which is what cash shop boosts do in the long run.
If a player isnât willing to put in the time to level then the game isnât for them; thatâs how it should be. Itâs unfortunate thatâs not how it is.

Yeah my son bought the boost on my accrt instead of his.
Iâve petitioned to get a refund, if they donât iâll just dispute it.
Cool. Thatâs your opinion. I donât think it makes the game worse. It will be completely irrelevant in a few months. Far more people will be playing the game because of this option than would be otherwise and I think thatâs a good thing.
See, this line of reasoning hinges on the idea that Vanilla content and TBC are the same quality
Theyâre not (subjective opinion, I know, bear with me before you get your pitchforks out). Itâs less that people arenât willing to level, and more that they donât want to play Vanilla - thatâs why the boost specifically skips past it and allows people to go straight into TBC. If people were actually upset at the idea of leveling, then they would demand the boost take them to 70, but thatâs not the case (not for most people, anyway). Itâs not that they donât want to level, itâs that they donât want to play Vanilla. And those that do that still want that leveling experience to be relevant - thereâs the Classic Era client right over there
Now, all that said, I personally donât understand the point of letting people boost during prepatch, from the idea of using it to springboard straight into TBC, which wonât be available untilâŚwell, launch. But thatâs just me

This is still an MMO. It has a community and culture of other players and weâre allowed to have opinions about what weâd like that community and culture to be. If some of us would prefer to experience this multiplayer game with other players who donât substitute swipes for gameplay, thatâs our prerogative.
Anyway, Blizzard obviously cares about the swipes more than the game, its community or culture, so I donât think you need to feel so threatened. Retail wins.

Allowing people to essentially skip half the game will never be âirrelevantâ as you put it. People using boosts means less people in the level 1 to 58 zones ⌠which means those people have less other players to join them (which, in case you donât understand, is a huge part of what makes old-school MMOs fun), which means theyâre more incentivized to do what? Use the boost, lol.
Allowing players to pay to skip half the game is not a good solution for a game like World of Warcraft. Youâre entitled to your opinion too, of course, but I imagine itâs pretty clear to anyone who understands what makes Classic WoW fun, or any old-school MMORPG fun. that youâre wrong.
