That is exactly the reason they want to allow one time boost per account. So people that want to go through Dark Portal on day one, can do it.
That would be the case if we were in a race from level 1-60 so we could go through the dark portal. That is not the case, and you can buy a boost if you want so bad to get another character ready to go through the dark portal.
Unfair advantage is quite strong affirmation. If we were competing against ourselves, it wouldn’t make sense for us to team up with anyone except our “allies” (maybe guildies). I’m still trying to figure out this unfairness you are seeing here.
I guess it summarize your thoughts, and invalidate all your points.
Uuuh… yea buuuut. That’s not what he’s talkin’ about. What advantage does a boosted 58 haaave overrr a non-boosted 58. Smoke a lot weed, get drunk, and then sniff glue tonight, port to the spirit world, then talk to master rock, then go over to moonglow, swim to the bottom of lake eluneara, then in the deepest of cavern of the stormrage barrow dens… is where you’ll find your answer.
It was never an argument to be fair, you’re literally trying to defend rich kids swiping their mother’s credit card to get an unfair advantage in a MMO, it’s reprehensible at best and completely asinine at worst. Especially when this game only exists because people were vocally against this in principle. How can anyone take you shills seriously?
If you assume these are all kids that relies on their moms’ credit cards, then I’ve something to tell you: they already do it by paying the game.
We literally have to pay to play.
And yet, you can’t explain where is this unfair advantage you see.
I’m not sure but I think you are lost im your own thoughts. The game is not selling you a full high warlord character on peak phase 1 / phase 2 of Classic, which we could call an unfair advantage.
It is selling a boost to level 58 on a single character per account, so you can level it to 70 and focus on the expansion. An unfair advantage would be selling level 70 boosts while the game is at level 70 level cap.
Pardon my french, but the one not being taken seriously here is not me.
why yall still posting? thread was over long ago between the dude admitting how massive a time advantage it is and people would be “idiots” for not paying for it, and the other dude when he admitted it was p2w but that’s “fine.”
Why are you assuming people who want the boost are
rich?
kids?
Thieves?
Hmm, no I’m pretty sure the Classics exist because people wanted to replay the content when it was relevant again to relieve memories, not as some protest against the shop.
At the risk of sounding controversial to the forum topic or a nay-sayer I feel I should voice something… Something of an alternative.
The boost is happening. Sorry, but it is. The income potential is too great for Activision’s Blizzard to stable the idea of not putting boosts, and potentially other monetized features into the game further down the road.
The battle-lines are clearly drawn.
At this point if you are against the boost you might have an alternative, but it requires a heavy choice:
Subscribe to the notion of “fresh tbc servers” that offer no cash shop and no transfers/boosts
OR
Submit to the current roll-out and accept that boosts are happening. Get over it. And have fun. Do your best to be magnanimous and get over the petty squabble with the people who will be boosting on your server to play there with you.
“But it is not fair!”
“I worked hard for my stuff etc…”
Please forgive me quoting myself on this one but I believe the post is relevant here.
You can make that on any toon if you know what and where to farm. Wanna seek justice look at Rogues in BRD farming for this new lazy generation, or you can stop being a pleb, make some friends, and go tackle the content. Do not worry what others do. You do you.
PvP against someone and kill them. If you only killed them because you paid for something with real life money (such as paying for gold from bots or 58 boosts), then it’s p2w. Really simple.
I agree with you and have had this conversation, so much. That “winning” is being turned into an “advantage”. And, that paying for an “advantage” is “pay to win”
It’s like, NO! Now, I have my own gripes against the 58 Level Boost Feature. But, I (personally) don’t categorize it as “pay to win”. In fact, I think those who’ve leveled prior have MORE “advantages” because they have a 100% Ground Speed Mount, Professions at 300 and (quite possibly) more gold than the character that is boosted. We still don’t know how much gold the 58 boosted character will receive, but I doubt it’s more than any of us have hoarded.
