Does TWW boost unlock “the whole game” for alts?

My closest friend and technical guild leader has a hard time returning to WoW because, as a long time “guild healer” who only stayed with the game as long as she did to heal the lot of us through small group content, she doesn’t want to quest to unlock everything.

She does not want to do the core questlines as a healer, does not want to DPS with randos, and resists returning to the game because of her perception that she’d immediately have to solo quest a bunch of story quests before she could just leap into dungeons with friends as our healer. Heck, follower dungeons make it so she’d never have to heal randos either (not that she minds that as much as I do), but the barrier is always “quest first.”

Or is it?

I got to thinking that, weeks after I returned to WoW in November and blissfully quested to the level cap, I bought TWW purely to put a second character at 70 for transmog farming purposes, as well as the boost to catching up my renown on my main, and it just hit me that this might be a way to leapfrog the very issue my friend has with the game.

So, the question:

If my friend used the boost from preordering TWW on an “alt,” would the way be cleared to just heal to 70 on her main (last played in SL) and other past expansion era alts? I’m pretty sure a fresh account has to “unlock” the dungeons or something, does the boost do that? We wouldn’t boost the healer because, again, healing dungeons is her favorite way to level.

I might be overlooking something because I just don’t have a problem “doing things” on my main, but my friend literally just wants to play “healing in dungeons: the game.” Is that life unlocked by boosting another character?

Thanks in advance for any and all informed, helpful replies!

The only solution seems to be to play the game 100% exclusively with people they know for ALL content. Practically I’m unsure if that’s probable, and if using the levelling token would actually solve the persons problem. Kind of sounds like they have already decided they just don’t want to play and are being polite, IMO.

Given the conditions it might be a hard ask for her to return to the game.
The want to play might be best coming from an inner drive.

She could use the boost and maybe you could do the ED stuff with her and just be happy with that being completed (for the free 463-476 craft from Fyrakk LFR kill).

This honestly just seems to me as a very clear reason to not return.

I’m actually in the same boat, had a very close friend join us for our initial seasonal goal grind but couldn’t commit to spamming keys to gear up.
Now most people are done and on break again, he has a minor drive but every time it would be me sort of being like ‘did you want to do key?’. I stopped that a few weeks ago because I realised it’s not really on me to try and get him KSM. Has to come on his own accord and be driven enough to do the few keys it takes to get it.
