Again, this is NOTHING but an ego argument. 100% ego - YOU play the game one way and expect all others to do the same or they canât play. Thats all ego.

because iâve been on the classic forums since pre-launch and i know what yall did and now youâre mad blizz isnât still catering to you guys. and they realize how much money theyâve left on the table. especially since yall quit the second you donât get what you want. iâve proven for 16 years iâll PAY to play. you guys havenât. they realized itâs a better business model to cater to people who actually like wow enough to pay for it. weird huh?

Cool glad to know you DONT have any reasons you can articulate and we are all right, it is all about your ego.
Got it.

It not only creates an open door for degenerate gameplay that is abusive to the boost system, as well as bots getting a free pass to instantly start farming TBC content. You can have more than 1 account. 1 Boost per account wonât stop anyone who wants to make an army of transmute alts or whatever.
When you boost a character youâre removing someone from the entire game, reducing the number of people being active in Azeroth, and reducing all potential interaction in the WORLD of Warcraft, an MMORPG, which is designed around having a living breathing world.
For every person who buys a boost, that is one less person farming herbs and leveling their alchemy or selling items on the AH.
One less person farming ore and leveling their blacksmithing or engineering and supplying others with crafted items.
One less person to meet in Duskwood or Silverpine and quest with.
One less person to walk 900 miles to Blackfathom Deeps and run a dungeon with.
One less person in the game to play with.
One less person to talk to.
One less friend to make along the way.
It destroys a large social aspect of the game in addition to destroying the economic aspect as well.
That one person who got a boost will never be seen in the game by anyone in Azeroth. Itâs also one less person who is participating in the game world, one less person removed from the economy and community.
When youâre getting boosted in ZF by a mage, youâre still taking part in this world. Youâre still interacting with the community, and still being active in the game in order to level up and play your character.
This is only one small facet of the problems that boosts create, the entirely remove all of these things.
There are a ton of problems that a boost creates.
Not to mention that it completely destroys the spirit of the game. If you want something, you need to earn it. Put in the time and effort in order to acquire it, not swipe your credit card.
Copy/Paste from previous comment. I can divulge and provide more arguments, but I fear theyâd be lost on you anyway as youâd just brush them aside.

Jesus christ dude, give me a second here would ya?
Yet youâve been asked to provide a tangible in game reason why a boosted 58 in TBC actually hurts your experience.
And you canât do it.

Nobody bats an eye at the fact realms may split in half from the âdo you want to go to TBCâ questionâŚbut a one-time boost is going to completely shatter the entire âspiritâ of classic.
Back in the day, nobody was offered the opportunity to stay in Classic, either.

even 30% less is still a big investment for a lot of people. And also does not count for the fact that said people will have 0 gold, mounts etc.
Full disclosure, i am currently levelling a toon, currently level 37, to play in TBC. I say this so you can see i am not biased in supporting the boost.
Also in saying that, your point about the long slog of levelling being blown out of proportion, that is subjective. It may not be that big of a deal to you, or me, but for plenty of other people it is, and will be the difference between whether they play TBC classic, or not.

What the hell are you even talking about?
None of what you said made even the slightest amount of sense. Youâre speaking in pure conjecture and the only thing that has any semblance of truth to it is that you will pay blizzard money.
Who are âYou Guysâ that youâre referring to? What are you even talking about?

you donât get a profession boost. theyâll still have to level alchemy if they want it. even the retail boost doesnât come with max professions anymore. way to just prove to the forums that you have no idea what youâre actually arguing against.

Ok, I will give that to you.
If your argument is that it limits people from playing legacy content, then Yes, I 100% agree with you. If that is your hangup, cool, I 100% respect you for that opinion.
I disagree because Legacy content isnât relevant IMO, but I respect your logic now.
Bro, I scroll up 2 postsâŚ

Thatâs your opinion that pre-outlands content is irrelevant. I would argue for most players that it is not irrelevant.
Itâs not only about the world being less populated, also itâs the byproducts that are caused by that effect, and a myriad of other things that I donât care to dive into because it takes far too long to put it into writing without being a wall of text, and no one would read it anyway.

I never said that you got a profession boost.

Why are you lumping those two scenarios together? they are completely different.
One is spending weeks, alone, in less than relevant content, order to be at the same level as everyone else and play with friends. The other is spending weeks, at the same level, with friends together, doing current content.
See how one of those scenarios could mean the player might enjoy it? and the other not so much? it is a game after all, and enjoyment is why people play.

this is the part of your post i was responding to. which you insinuated that these people wouldnât level their professions because of the boost.
Yes you listed a lot of things that some MIGHT do if they level 1-58 not things that they WILL do.
A boosted character doesnât impact you anymore than a character who has levelled 1-58 solo and not partaken in any of those things. And in fact the people who will be inclined to take a boost are going to be people who arenât interested in doing those things from 1-58 anyways, because they are you know, interested in TBC not classic.

Obviously they would be required to level their professions lol
Iâm sorry, I had thought that such an obvious caveat was ⌠obvious.
I donât respect that logic because this is ALL legacy content, and heâs saying âif youâre going to play legacy, you have to play ALL of it, not skip to the part you like!â
Except, thatâs EXACTLY what this whole project is, is giving the people the legacy content they LIKED and letting them jump into it again. Thatâs part of the reason they made Vanilla and TBC their own things, because they knew not everyone liked every version of the game.
Some liked Vanilla, some liked TBC, and with any luck, weâll also get Wrath, which some people liked as well.
