Wont happen.
Boosts by blizz have NEVER brought you within 2 levels of max level.
So not really an argument.
Literally all the boosts in all of wow were to bring you up to the level to START the new xpac.

Never said I was worried. Quit being salty
Salty? I’m not the one crying about boosts.
Ultimately no different than anyone else with 6 level 60’s is what i call it.

Nor am I. Read up
So if you lv to 58 and I boost to 58. What advantage do I have over you?

You’re an idiot if you believe, somehow, reducing the time it takes to START the damned TBC era stuff is P2W.

The person who leveled has the advantage because they will have more experience playing the class and knowing what they are doing vs the booster.
It’s also likely that the person who leveled will have more gold because the leveled will have professions while the boosted won’t.
That’s strange, I thought the booster was supposed to have the advantage, wtf?
Though, this “learning a class” notion. May have been true on launch originally, not true now. You can go to icyveins and see your BIS gear, rotation, breakdown of every single fight from all perspectives. If you can follow that and not stand in the particle effects that your addons scream at you not to, you will be fine.
I see what you’re trying to do, but…
This is assuming the person boosting hasn’t played the class before, which is something we shouldn’t be assuming. The game’s pretty old. Besides, the game’s not too hard to learn.
Again, this is assuming the boosted toon isn’t an alt of a veteran player.
No no his points are good. Cause all this shows is boosting a character is inherently WORSE than leveling it, invalidating this “advantage” they apparently get.

I’m not following your logic here… It only makes sense for a brand new player.
It’s P2Win because it’s 1-58 and I’m guessing it provides mount+skill training up to that point. So you’re buying 100g+ from Blizzard.
Based on booster logic, apparently that’s the only people boosting. All they say is that “A boosted player is inexperienced and will be s$#@ at the game” when in reality most boosts are people getting an alt who have played the game before. No new players who hasn’t touched wow is gonna buy the game then immediately boost a character cause they don’t even know if they LIKE the game yet.
“They get an advantage over other players”
Well that guy proved this is a lie too. Boosted character are inherently at a disadvantage over leveling properly. So, no adavantage, no p2w.
Except it’s P2Win
- 1-58 time investment removed
- 1-58 skills paid for
- Bags paid for
- Mount skill paid for
- Gear paid for
That’s an advantage over new characters by using a Credit Card.

I can buy all that buy bying gold already. What’s your point?
Also
Bags: 10g?
1-58 skills: varies per class
Mount: 100g max
Gear: Free as it’s crappy dungeon blues
So they get what, the equivalent of 10$ in gold or some crap for gear that is obsolete within an hour? oo0o00o00o0o.
One round of dailies in outlands nets you more gold than this. Idk what to tell you.
Buying gold is a breach of the TOA.
Even if you can look up your BiS gear and pve dps rotation it doesn’t teach you open world use of the class. As an example it won’t teach you how to effectively fight 2 mobs at once with a hunter, pet tanking+ ranged atto attacks vs one target, melee attacks vs a second target (separate weapon swing timer, and this is a basic level skill for decent hunters, more advanced hunters will be doing this with 3 mobs on the pet to maximize multi shot, and one mob on the hunter and managing aggro to have 1 of the 3 mobs on the pet running at the hunter every multi shot letting it get to the hunter, and then using disengage to lose top aggro sending it back to the pet in some for multi shot to pull it back again, minimizing pet damage taken, and I could go on…)
And @cauchy, even if the person already knows the class, the professions argument and gold earned by that character still stands if its a veteran player that already knows what they are doing they will have min maxed their leveling time to have leveled professions and gotten more gold than a boosted toon, because if they are preping for tbc launch the alt is likely being made with professions already in mind. But let’s assume they are going for maximum leveling speed just for arguments sake. This means they leveled through boosting in dungeons and didn’t learn professions or class play styles, exc. They would have used thousands of gold to level through boosting the classic way, which in many cases supports the gold sellers through the gatekeepimg that is the gold itself to have this type of boost, if a player is new to the game they will have no way outside of gold buying to afford this, while people with a 60 could have farmed the gold legitimately to do so. So an argument could be made that blizzard offering this one time boost can help prevent new players from going the actual pay to win route of buying gold just to get to tbc content when tbc classic comes out. And if you think the boost is pay to win, what do you think of gold buying? Because I view that as pay to win due to gdkp runs letting you use gold to get the BiS gear available. And if you view both as pay to win, chose the lesser of two evils. Blizzard has shown they can’t outright remove the gold selling issue with 15+ years of it happening in wow, but the boost can help prevent new players from using it.
But it doesn’t stop anyone now does it?
Fairly similar to how illegal activity is permitted in the US currently by certain factions but, that doesn’t make it any less illegal. It just shows/proves the corruption and idiocy of Blizzard to stop gold farmers.
