What’s wrong with kids these days? We walked to school in three feet of snow uphill both ways. Builds character.
I agree with you. More players is a win. I need 24 other people to have my revenge on Illidan, and this time he’s going down. I went 8/9 BT before they nerfed Illidan pre-patch and we steamrolled him and I’m still bitter. 
the blue post confirms that they are sticking to it. it’s a thread full of cope from people who played on private servers who are whining about the “sanctity” of the game. who never played actual tbc or vanilla. someone in another thread didn’t know how hand of adal worked, and another that you could speed run hyjal. if they had played any version of retail post tbc launch that one would’ve known you STILL can’t “speed run” hyjal to this day.
This is better than what we got right now
TBC =/= Vanilla. They’re both labeled Classic but they’re two versions of the game.
There’s tons of stories about people who love BC but not classic. This is for those people.
Look at Mr. Condescending here thinking he knows better than all. I very well know what pay to win is. You see it far worse in other games and the level boost is the least threatening of this sort of system. But no matter how you look at it even using how things are done now. Players are paying gold that they likely bought with real money in order to basically do nothing and get to max level compared to people who put in the work to get there. That by definition is still pay to win.
Method in retail also showed that in order to win the world first race, they basically had to abuse systems that are in place through the WoW token in order to get every advantage possible. That is pay to win in a worse extent.
Regardless, don’t respond to me thinking you are know better without a more constructive manner. That is all I am saying.
People are mad and calling the boosts “pay 2 win” while they were using multiboxxing and several warlock summoning accounts - not to mention the several accounts for farming black lotus.
I call it hypocrisy. Everyone was using those or benefiting from those, now are mad at character boost and calling it “pay 2 win”, which is far less than multiboxxing for farming / pvping.
The blue posts doesn’t confirm that they won’t change their mind. There is still time.
Just because you walk the path of darkness doesn’t mean you’re lost to the light.
It begins at 58. Sorry to break that to you.
No, it doesn’t. Go back to retail and stop trying to ruin the game the way retail is.
People have a problem with boosts across MMOs in general because the leveling process is an important time to learn how you character works. You get the new abilities slowly over time so you can learn how they interact. You learn where the character is strong and where it is weak. You learn what a class can get away with and what will get you killed.
When people buy/boost their character its usually pretty obvious to all those that play with them.
blizz in general stopped making official comments on things that they had to back out on eventually cuz people will call them out for the next 6+ months for being “liars.” once the blue post happened they essentially admitted it’s set in stone. if you had played any version of actual wow you’d know this. but blizz didn’t handle private server stuff, so you may not know that.
I’m actually curious…can you give some examples of TBC content in levels 1-58? I may just not remember it right.
The entire game is The Burning Crusade.
It’s all technically TBC content.
It’s not “Outlands: The Game” lmao it’s World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade
Oh I know they will stick to it, I was just responding to that single person because that seems to be the general attitude of people who think they have some skin in the game of whether I (or you, or anyone else) get to skip content or not.
I’ve done enough leveling in this game. I’ll take a skip for once if it’s being offered. I enjoyed TBC content, and I’d like to get to it right away at launch.
the draenei and blood elves of course! oh wait you cant boost those…
/s
People can fight this topic as much as they want. But this is pretty much the same as the “TBC vs Classic+” debate.
You can say that blizzard may change their minds, and that it’s still not 100% certain that boosts will make it to live… but it’s pretty damn set in stone lol.
Azuremyst and Bloodmyst Isle, Eversong Woods and Ghostlands. Ghostlands even had it’s own rep faction.
The new zones for Blood Elves and Dranei. But they are making it so you have to do that anyways.
The true classic experience is having multiple alts you level with multiple sets of friends and a main you solo to max level. I think people don’t remember how that was the solution to getting new players into the game initially.
I would rather Classic have it’s own subscription service to justify paying for things like more customer support and GM’s. If Classic gave it’s own revenue stream to Blizzard, maybe paid Boosts wouldn’t be a thing.
The staring areas of those races aren’t technically “TBC” content.
They were part of the original launch content, but the content itself has nothing to do with the rest of TBC.
