Classic is a modern variation of a classic game. Most games right now have fast tracks through leveling. FF14 offers boost, retail offers boost, GW2 you can buy in game money from arenanet themselves and then level using crafting so its pretty much a boost with like an extra step that takes like 15 minutes. current expansion and end game are all that really matters because your proportionally gonna spend almost no time in the old content compared to current content.

No, I said its bad for the overall health of an MMO, especially a remake of an old one where time investment is a much larger part of the game than retail. Stay on point.
Iâd prefer they give different options. Stop trying to skip past parts of a game you dont like. Thatâs not how an RPG works.

I think its funny that people say that âTBC content isnât only at 58, they added new quests in Azeroth.â
Im pretty sure when the expansion drops that you arenât going to stop what youâre doing to go back to azeroth just to complete those quests. That is such a null argument that the fact that people are resorting to use it is really pathetic.
People like me (who thought wow classic and all of its content and leveling that I already did on vanilla release, not to mention on private servers btw) donât wish to play something so redundant just to be able to play the actual fun stuff with my friends.
If you donât agree with the fact they are adding boosts then I suggest you get a tissue or quit. Because its going to happen.

Ok, I did make a point. I did discuss what you just said, and yes it is my opinion just like you have yours dude. Yours just seems to be uninformed and âI want, gimmie gimmie, I dont want to level waaaahhhh.â Iâm trying to explain why you might want to reconsider.
You will if you ever want to level another character. Which a lot of people that play classic have done. Takes about 7-12 days played for the average person.

Yes, I will. Because there is only one boost. Thank you for proving my point.
One boost per account, that specifically excludes the new races, AND is only to the bare minimum level needed to go through the portal, is most certainly NOT âpay to winâ.

Yaaa, its not like anyone has multiple accounts in this day and ageâŚ
Again, Iâm optimistic and hope the boost money will go back into classic. Some people cant take a difference of opinion. I havenât been on here acting like anything is immoral or some crazy decision that will ruin the game.
It will likely however have some negative side effects, and is not staying with the spirit of classic. I would again prefer they not do this, and Iâm going to support it with things Iâve seen playing classic.

Nice, this 100% confirms boosts are happening, the teacup tempest tears didnât sway their decision to make them happen. Thanks, Blizzard. Any way we can make them unlimited though? Discount the first one and then future boosts at full price?
Hope you at least consider it, otherwise it may be difficult to for some to use their single available boost.

The problem is you think thereâs a ârightâ way to play and you want to try to force people to play the ârightâ way. In reality lots of people have different play styles and objectives when they play WoW regardless of boosting, many of which you probably also donât consider the ârightâ way to play.

No, I think boosts as a character service are bad for RPG focused games like classic.
I have bought multiple boosts in the seasonal version of retail you dolts just think its a morality thing. Its game design.

Right. That was 14 years ago.
This is today.
While it may be a part of the experience, the people who this is being developed for probably have neither the time, nor the patience to spend on leveling an entirely fresh new character during an absolute slog of a Vanilla questing experience (because being mouth-breathing no-lifers who spend 24 hours straight grinding through those levels is not a healthy life-choice).
People are acting like Classic is all about Blizzard going back to its roots. No. Itâs a museum. Itâs fun to look around and re-experience everything that made you love the game in the past, but in the end itâs still old content that you have done countless times over a period of two years (per expansion cycle) and now have the opportunity to do all over again.
Yay.
Okay now explain why itâs bad game design for logical in game reasons.
The bot boosting argument is getting old. Bots are a policing issue on Blizzards end. If your problem is with botting, youâre barking up the wrong tree. Keep hounding Blizzard to be more vigilant in preventing them generally. If you have an issue with boosting because you donât think itâs fair, well I have some bad news. And if your point is that itâs somehow against the spirit of Classic, you seriously need to look at all the other things that Blizzard has changed since Classic launch and find another hill to die on.

âSkipping irrelevant content is bad! Multi-hour tutorials should be a mandatory experience! Cutscenes should be unskippable, if you die on the boss you should have to sit through 10 minutes of âmy friends are my power!â again and again!â

Oh yeah I love the argument that it takes multi days of /played time to learn the basics of how to play a class⌠speak for yourselfâŚ
Especially in Classic, good lord
Yes, Iâm quite sure a frost mage needs 58 levels to actually learn their exceedingly complex rotation of âFrostbolt > Frostbolt > Frostbolt > Frostbolt > Frostbolt > Frostbolt > Fire BlastââŚ
