Since Blizzard seems to purposely avoid making this announcement, chooses to not put it in the known issues list, and refuses to take down the boost from the shop (because it would cost them money), I figured I’d do the players a favor.
If you boost while having any professions, your professions will be completely bricked. This has been an issue since the pre-patch and GMs will not do anything other than tell you to wait, or gaslight you into thinking it’s a UI issue, or simply respond with something completely irrelevant. You will not get a refund or a fix, you will get told to kick rocks.
Don’t forget what Blizzard thinks of its paying customers, and prioritizes making money over delivering what you paid for. They don’t care as long as their pockets are full. They are doing their best to pretend this issue doesn’t exist because it hurts sales, and has not made a single acknowledgement of it despite threads with hundreds of replies.
11d old, game breaking problem, no answer from Blizzard. Makes you wonder why they even have a bug report section.
Edit: Looks like the mountain of other threads aren’t getting any answers either, but this is kind of a serious one. It’s not some minor annoyance like pet skills not saving in the bar. It’s entire professions being bricked.
Professions are such a timesink, this really is a huge problem. If you level professions while you’re leveling it is manageable but trying to do it from scratch after a boost? Oof, hours and hours and tons of gold to recap
Can you level up professions if you haven’t done so yet? I have a level 20 mage I’d like to boost and I have no professions. If I boost…will I be able to start my professions or will they be locked?
Same thing happened to my druid. I meant to level her professions before CATA launch as I will not have much time once it lands. Because of this, I have not played her since. Feels like a total waste of money.
