sorry i don’t have 1000g to get zg runs from 52 to 60

At the end of the day, boosting is a symptom of too much money in the economy and virtually no actual sinks to remove it.

People boost their alts, then complain when all there is to do is raid log.

Yeah i watched a ret pally 2v1 you and some other guy. It was pretty cringe. You’re a classic case of mad cuz bad.

I see, I see. I am opposing you because I am mad. If I am mad, it is because I’m bad at the game. At last I understand! Please, great sage, tell me more.

As this is a true MMORPG, unlike retail, one players’ playstyle can certainly negatively affect another players’ playstyle. It is absolute fact that boosting reduces the pool of players available to run lower level dungeons with other appropriate level players as intended, which makes it more difficult for those people to find normal groups. So it comes down to opinion about which playstyle a person thinks is best for the game and its community.

When I look at Classic, I see a brilliant overall game design. Leveling and the corresponding hurdles to overcome are put there for a reason, to give people a feeling of progression and accomplishment as they make their way to 60. The dungeons and elite quests play into that and are created entirely for the purpose of encouraging players to group up with like-minded players, socialize, make friends, and form guilds.

IMO, boosting undermines that and tears apart the very fabric of the game’s design, lessening the feeling of accomplishment and the social aspects of the game, and damaging the game’s community. The fact that boosting is possible to me is a flaw that is being exploited by people who cannot or don’t care to overcome their human nature that entices them to take the quickest and easiest path.

But I understand that others don’t see it that way. They see cheating, cheesing, exploiting, and pay-to-win tactics as normal gameplay, and even something to be proud of.

Either way, I know it won’t be changed, and I understand why (#nochanges), so it just goes down as another one of Classic’s flaws that modern gamers have found a way to exploit, and we just have to live with it. And I’ve accepted that.

Ill give you a method to remove money from the economy just like it does to me IRL, feeding the damn horses, and shoes, and all the accessories and upkeep. Horses should also have life spans.

You want to remove money, I assure you beasts of burden are effective at removing it.

When you get boosted, you’re paying somebody so you don’t have to play the game. If people don’t want to play the game, they should find a different game that they find more interesting.

Oh there are PLENTY of gold sinks they could implement. Many that would not affect actual gameplay not a bit. I would love to see stuff like the barber shop for example implemented, but you’d see faux outrage about “No cHaNgEs!”, despite having a healthier economy.

you have to play to get the gold to afford relaxing and boosting a couple levels.

You know the irony of a player on a RP realm white knighting boosting is not lost on me. I mean how does someone roleplay increasing skill in magic and weaponry, by virtue of being afk in the beginning of an instance while someone vastly more high level and accomplished kills enemies on the other end of the dungeon?

You’re effectively playing the game for someone else. It’s cheating.

the kind of RP server youre thinking of doesnt exist. But i do character on another account who sells bags in org with a “store name” and stuff; is that rp enough for you? i play this game far deeper than you ever will because you dont like it that much.

Is that really it? Is this you explaining that you play the game “deeper” by boosting/being boosted? Does my distaste for boosting/boosted equate to not liking the game all that much? Please, tell me more about what I think about the game and it’s many facets, oh wise booster of AFKers.

I left Grobbulus because of dingbattery like this that flooded it.

i literally play every class and level them normally except specific ones like my bag vendor. i do every profession and i have General(r12) as my highest. I have almost 120k HKs.

lets see how you compare!!

editing in that my playtime on just my mage is 118 days. im not try to brag this is all super no life stuff.

That’s really said if true. Things like that exactly what RP servers were for in the past.

if you are burnt out do something different. or take a break.

So you’re saying boomers like you cant function as normal human beings and cant adapt at all?
