Boosting is literally Pay to win

Yes, and you get 100,000 gold and your chosen professions max ranked. I mean, pay to win right!?

There was something way better back then called recruit a friend.

Paying for levels in a game where one of the main goals is to level, is pay to win.

You’d have to do some mental gymnastic to really attempt at denying that.

The main goal in TBC is not to level 1-58 if you’re not playing one of the new races…

That’s never been a goal of TBC.

No, mental gymnastics is expecting that everyone wants to play the game the way you expect them to play it. For you, leveling may be an important part of the game, for others the 1-58 experience is not what they want and have no interest in doing so.

And to make a blanket statement like “only capped players for BC” is elitist and says to many people, hey, if you did not want to play the 1-58 Vanilla experience then you should not be entitled to play BC when it comes out. No, instead you must spend months leveling in old content while all your friends and fellow players are off doing other stuff. No, you stay here in this previous content.

Sorry, but not going to happen. Blizzard will give 58 boosts so that people who did not want to play Classic are not forced to in order to enjoy TBC, no Blizzard will do what they have done for years, give new players an option to jump right into the latest content without the grind.

I will never know how other people read things so out of context. It’s like people do mental gymnastics for the sake of arguing for no reason.

Basically a gold medal Olympian right here

How is that taken out of context?

The exact response I was expecting. Nothing to contribute or no valid argument, revert to repeating yourself.

The WoW community is probably the only MMO community I know of where people want less options for players instead of more options for players. It’s really quite sad.

I never stated 1-58 was the goal of WoW, which is what you projected onto what I said.

I said leveling in general was a goal.

Hmm, correct me if I am wrong but you just said leveling was a “MAIN” goal.

Care to back pedal more?

So then boosts are fine?

Leveling current content is the goal of any expansion, sure.

Which is why boosts have never been for current content shrug

What exactly do you think happened to those of us that rerolled back in the original release?

(Hint: We leveled alone.)

#1 Boosts aren’t fine because it lowers the threshold significantly for gold famers, which is a significant enough issue that causes market inflation that Blizzard has always been lazy about, and this just encourages that behavior.

#2 if you bought an MMORPG which leveling is a main function of the game, but hate playing one of the main functions of the game, then play retail where everything is handed to you, where everybody is given accessibility to everything because mah 15 dollars a month.

#3 it didn’t exist back then. The point of these servers is for us to play the game as it was then

#1. There is no evidence to suggest this would be the case (and plenty to counter it).

#2. Levels 1-58 is not part of TBC.
When I pointed that out you said I was taking you out of context, back peddle much?

#3. And? Classic preserved realms didn’t exist either. Should we force everyone to upgrade to TBC to keep the authentic experience?

Like I said, mental gymnastics

I am still in shock at the things anti-boosters are throwing out there as justification. Now it’s, “Oh, what on earth will the poor BElf and Draenei do if everyone boosts?”

Um, the exact same thing they did before, level with fellow BElf or Draenei. Again, nothing changes about the TBC experience.

It’s not mental gymnastics.
Blizzard never advertised leveling in Azeroth as a perk of TBC expansion lol.

Never ever. Try harder
