Blizzard dropped the ball on this. I know people dont care or think it shouldnt have been in game but all of that is irrlevant because its there. It cost 40-70 Dollars. Yeah I get it, you are put at level 58.
But the gear they give you leaves you stranded in no mans land.
You cant get in runs or if u do you do not do remotely well because you are wearing terrible gear.
Forget raiding. No chance of that.
You cant go into a BG because you get one shotted and are a detriment to your team.
The Honor gain is so slow that you might as well just park your account until June 1st because it will be days just to get 2 items.
Again yeah I get it people are thinking good but if you PAID 40 dollars for it you should have been adequately geared. Should have also given everyone at least 250 profession pts too but thats just griping.
They should have put everyone in .5 Dungeon blues or PvP gear.
TBC is a week away. People are doing content for fun not for seriousness. Except for honor farming which boosted players are severely crippled in that regard

I think Blizzard decided to offer up boosters as a sacrifice to classic players to appease them. The best you can do is nom on them in battlegrounds and world PvP.

I am dying 15+ times a match. Get destroyed by any decently geared players. Not about skill at all, literally a gear issue

Boosters dont deserve anything

you’ll replace half the gear if not more in the first 15 quests in outland, you’ll be fine

You should level normally then, you might have better gear

With you saying that, what’s the argument for giving them bad gear?
Because, if it doesn’t matter at all, it wouldn’t matter if they had good gear, too.

Hahahahahah so much salt in this thread.
OP yes the gear is utter garbage. It should of been the class dungeon sets.

lmao imagine thinking paying 40 bucks for a 58 boosted toon should give you adequate gear to compete with ppl who have been gearing their chars for up to two years over countless hours… in addition to the 58 lvls u skip.
Retail is that way my friend ->

If you’ve “been gearing for two years”, dungeon blues aren’t going to compete with what you have, that’s a completely absurd claim.
When I hit 60 in the first couple weeks of classic, we had near pre-raid bis in 2 weeks.

I think the intent of the gear is that it’s just barely good enough to go into Outland and survive the initial quests for upgrades.

i also didnt have a full set of dungeon set blues at 58. i had pretty much what booster gear is. maybe a tiny bit better but not much.

you still get 1 shot in dungeon blues. Its ph6.
Nobody cares about booster tears… QQ I can not go into bgs and murder everyone QQ.
The gear you get is good enough for UBRS, so go farm those dungeon blues.
Absolute garbage

You’ve just changed the subject. Usually, when you make an argument, you need to stick to that argument, as merely bringing up a new point of contention isn’t a rebuttal to prior claims.
In this case, if you think dungeon blues are inadequate, I’m agnostic, but I suppose Blizzard could have handed out PvP blues, too.
First off if you boost you can hop straight in bgs and grind honor. If you know what you’re doing its not an issue as most players are boosted. Second go do some quests? My druid will be doin just fine come june 1st boost gear and all.
The gear is fine to do Scholo or Strat. You can just run them for 2 weeks and your gear will be fine for going through the dark portal. I’m totally happy with my boosted druid. I spent the last couple of days leveling herbalism, today I’ll use those herbs to level alchemy, and then it’s onto the dungeons to gear her up

If they gave good gear the hardcores would have even more sand in the panties to be more insufferable.
Hit portal, kill trash get gear and move is what we get. I boosted 1 char too so feel the pain. NOt ideal but they walked a minefield here so no matter that they did someone was getting screwed.
My boosted I just do loops in lower scaled arees to fix crafting. Its good for that at least.

No serious player really cares about some trivial gear or levels.
I was one of my top players on my server in early classic and I fully support the boosts because it gave my friends a chance to play. Right now, it sucks, though, which is consistent with this pre-patch being probably the worst one Blizzard has done.
