If GDKP is gone, boosting needs to go as well. This should be a top priority fix for classic anniversary realms.
Let’s address the elephant in the room blizzard.

Agreed, simple and easy fix is if someone in your group is 10 levels above or a level 60 no one gets xp.

There’s nothing more lame than boosting. I don’t recall in the history of world of warcraft, the sinister amount of boosting. Where boosting is the only way to get into a dungeon. I disagree with that whole heartedly. Even when players offer me a boost I deny. Nope. If we can’t execute this without a boost we shouldn’t play. I play to enjoy the game.

They need to cap the mobs that AOE spells can hit to about 50.
This would ensure that PVP functionality was maintained (40+pets) and it even allows for low level instance boosting, but completely stops 1 pulls.
So many easy ways to do this. Tweaking the SoM way would be fine. Raise the levels in which someone can enter a dungeon. Simple things.
my 2006 warrior was boosted by a gold farmer from hong kong playing 2 mages i made friends with, i just gave him the gold that dropped in strat…
nice guy, miss him

I wholeheartedly agree, There is nothing fun about standing in an instance in having a level 60 pull a ton of mobs. The low level instances are so much fun and it’s part of the classic experience in itself.

damn lol, I dont boost players but I really enjoyed farming raw gold in strat on my paladin during TBC. I have a bit of social anxiety and It was fun for me :X.
Something definitely needs to be done.

End boosting. It’s basically the same as GDKP and causes just as much gold seller/buyer spam.

If I recall, they fixed this is SOM, would be an easy implementation.
Yeah…what I find funny about some people’s rant on RMT is in TBCC, the boosters could be cheaper than or same price as the tanks for some runs.
And the tank…wasn’t a carry. It was to be there. Hate to sound jaded, but I am already expecting 50 gold tank charge for mana tombs in TBC, part 3.
Some didn’t pay the boosters to be lazy. it was more value to their money.
You can pay the dude 50 who will let you chill by the door. You can pay the tank 50 and actually have to work. The booster offered more convenience for that 50 gold lol.
then I saw tanks charge the 50 and demand HR. hahahaha, go do something with yourself tank is what I thought there.
I mean I feel for you, but social cooperation and overcoming obstacles is what classic WoW’s pillars are based on. If people just level by boosting and less world interaction, less dungeon interaction… it’s not even a game at that point.

i understand, im not saying it should stay that way for me specifically. Im just saying thats what I did. By all means, i prefer the health of the game over anything else and if there is something in the game that harms the overall health, then im all for changing it. Though considering we are getting mega servers, making gold outside instanced dungeons will be difficult.
but like I said, I personally never boosted anyone. I just farmed the mobs.

Gosh the spam is horrible, it just kills the vibe for the whole game.

Boosting is a vicious cycle.
People boost because they can’t find groups and they can’t find groups because they boost.
The people that want to rush to 60 for the raids always quit because “there’s no content”.
They’re all tourists.

Leveling is part of the game, Grouping in doing lower dungeons is a lot of fun. But I totally get some people that can’t find them, Thankfully, it’s really not needed. I recently leveled a character on Whitemane, I did a couple of the lower dungeons, but as I got into the higher levels, I just continued to do quests until I hit 60.
They’re definitely tourist, if they fix boosting that will hopefully deter them.

Hopefully in round 3 now it gets better but places like night elf region dungeon before RDF this needed boosters only they’d be there really. Finding normal players at least in my time played never happened really.
RDF if you get this hit you either take it, or take the debuff and leave lol.
Even when we got TBCC…most space goats hopped on the boat and did their menethil death march to SW after dranei start area.
So then dont do it?

I never have a problem finding groups for any dungeon.
Sometimes it takes 20 minutes but whatever, if you don’t have at least a couple hours to play you shouldn’t be running dungeons anyways.
Leaving in the middle of a run because “I don’t really have time for this.” is super rude.
