Boost prices need to change!

Yesterday I created a bunch of new characters and I was ready to boost them all. I said ok, lets spend some cash, maybe 100$. But that would cover only one character! I quickly changed my mind of course, and instead I will be spending a big zero dollars. See how that works Blizzard? Your boosts cost too much and are making you lose money instead of making some.

Agreed. They should actually remove boost and tell players to level if they want a max character.

$60 is too much to spend on a boost? That’s because it’s not really encouraged to do so. They want you to experience the game. And dear god, if people only had to pay $20, the end game would be flooded with people who have no clue how to play their role. And seriously, it takes less than a week to take a toon from 1-60.

Totally agree. I wanted to boost my lock from lvl 19 but $60 is pretty steep. Especially of how easy it is to just level now a days. I’m on day 3 and I got my lock to level 51 playing casually (work/family time). It’s business and people do pay, I get it. But not me.

No you weren’t. :joy: I mean…yeah! Me too! Was about to, was gonna, was this close…but Blizz. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Such an odd way of saying, ‘I was going to boost toon but didn’t want to spend the money on it because of the cost. Wish the cost was less!!’

Maybe if the game was fun to level it wouldn’t need boost lol.

I write the way I speak! It’s super cool! But seriously, I see nothing wrong with my sentence.
Maybe it’s because English is not my first language? Don’t people talk like that?

Blizzard needs to cut out its Community Middle Man, and remove boosts all together. No Pay 2Win. Their Community unfairly benefits from transactions like that, taking money away from Small Indie Companies.

They should introduce bundles and discounts like they did with character migrations.
Save 50% if you already have ten level 60s. This way people will not be clueless new level 60 players.

Huh? Oh, no I don’t mean to restructure your wording! You good. I agree that 60 per toon is stupid money for what it is. Just seemed really really salty. So I was shaking the salt off. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

$60 is way too much for a boost. Other games, which are F2P, offer the same service for about half of that.

As long as people are foolish enough to hand over the money they wont’ change it though. Personally I have never bought a single thing from the cash shop except expansions.

Because

They have lower prices to entice you to buy the power and avoid the slog. WoW’s leveling is stupid fast and really not that bad (you get to choose where and what and how you level).

What was it that Mr. Krabs said???

Edit: Sadly they aren’t as smart as you. I mean… torghast.

If it’s not fun why boost anything?
Here’s what I do when I need to level:
-Figure out my favorite zones
-Do 'em in order
-Take my time and enjoy. Maybe have a snack. Nice tunes. I let myself get immersed. Been working on the Highmountain heritage on an alt and really enjoying swimming through Vashj’ir on my beloved Fabious.
If you don’t rush yourself and consciously enjoy the process, it isn’t so bad.

GL friends. :slight_smile:

At a low cost, this service would essentially be a pay for level 60 trial account. People would create multiple level 60s, try them out, and then never play again.

It would also have the knock on effect of pushing ‘content’ to only being end game. Why invest any time and effort in a zone when only the most obstinate types will continue to level the old way.

Boosts should be like $25, $60 isn’t too bad for me, but a lot of people can’t afford boosting characters very often with a price point like that

Just going to point out here that threads in the forum about “Boosting is way overpriced!” have been a part of wow as long as there have been paid boosts, even when leveling was most recently (mid Legion) at its longest.

So, nothing has changed except the time it takes to level characters yourself.

I dont’ mind paying to boost an alt character but $60 is too much AND on top of it they put my newly boosted character on that air ship and train me how to play the class – like my 17 year old account doesn’t already know how to play the class? Blizz Pleez. You’re a pita. I spend so much money on your game and I’m finally at the point of saying #byefelicia.

I do think $60 is too much.

The one that really bugged me was the $30 fee to faction change… this was after I purchased move packs so I could recover a lot of “lost toons” on servers I don’t play because the guilds died…

That extra fee to change faction is ROUGH. Not cool bliz.

I mean when you pay to move 3 or 8 characters from a horde server to a server you have 15 alliance toons… you actually don’t even want me to keep them horde, it’s not a cool idea.
