As I said, I just think if you’re going to pull a friend into an MMO and take the easy way by boosting, then find out it wasn’t the best thing for the friend, you should rectify the mistake rather than wrecking the friendship. A friendship has more value than some MMO.
I don’t recall disagreeing with you… ? But you are spot on, that was exactly my point. Find something in common with the person is more important than the game is…
… but I now see you’re talking about WH online.

Different people take things in different ways and I always try to keep that in mind when playing any kind of game and in real life.
A friend got me into this game shortly after classic came out and they were already level 40 or 50 something. I let them do their thing while I played at my own pace until I caught up with them. I have had other friends play over the years who quit playing after a few years for various reasons even made friends in the game who started out fresh or boosted a toon.
Bottom line though if you can just enjoy the game playing with them then screw everything else…who cares if it takes 4 min instead of 2 to complete a world quest.
One friend I got into the game was the absolute worst player I ever saw but she was just a total joy to play with mainly because she just did not care if she lived or died in the game and could care less if she had the worst or best gear there was. She just wanted to have a little fun playing a game with a friend who was now thousands of miles away. That and playing with Meli (who got me into this game) was probably the best times I ever had playing World of Warcraft and I am sure that years from now you will look back (just as I am looking back now) and think the same thing.

Guess it was selfish of me not to start fresh I just could not handle the leveling process again as I have done it to many times. Also I have leveled with them a few times in the past but they usually quit before we get to end game. Soo was just trying to show them what end game was like.
But point taken

You mean like crafting?
I mean like game work shop miniatures and games
Not exactly the same. My husband was the one who got me into the game. There are some things we always do together but theres others weve found are best seperated.
I have my routine down to 30 minutes in nazjatar. Trying to do that with him could easily double that. I know he wont do them on his own so i try to get him to come with as often as i can.
But secret hunting we always do together. (Lucid nightmare, baal, hivemind, riddlers mindworm)
We used to raid together but im not into it at the moment. We try to level new toons together too. Its just finding the balance so neither of us feels abandoned/deserted

You boost toons, and expect them to god mode?
Start over.
Re-Roll.
Take of the looms, and go for it.
Its the best way to learn.
It’s not so much I expected them to be god mode as I didn’t think about how it would effect my personal time in wow if that makes sense
Maybe you should subtly enquire if they are enjoying it?
They might only be hanging on and playing because they feel obligated since you got them into it?
Imagine being a billion dollar gaming company.
Imagine being a billion dollar gaming company with the most successful MMO ever.
Imagine being a billion dollar gaming company with the most successful MMO ever and offering a service that skips the leveling process.
Imagine being a billion dollar gaming company with the most successful MMO ever and offering a service that skips the leveling process in the your game’s cash shop that exists despite the shelf price + subscription fees of your game.
I can’t imagine anyone that out of touch with their own product.
Nope! and never will, I am full aware of the repercussions of it,
Whatever goes with WoW its between me and the game alone, I put aside my RL importances and the real life people I truly value, just like work, I avoid jumping deeper into the friend-co worker-friend as drama within the working place can be chaotic, its ludicrous
Though I will say that I do have a friend (anonymous friend within WoW) that is an awesome down to earth guy and his wife is nothing but awful and narcissistic that has the habit in spamming how much heals/dps she put out on random mythics and brag about it as also somewhat be promiscuous with the other dumb-brain guys that falls into slumber whenever they hear a “female voice” over discord…fascinating

This is what happens with the rush mentality of mythic+. People aren’t willing to be nice or teach.

Its hideous and ugly,
Unless you casually to mythic-ing every now and then, other than that I hear ya on that…I learned the lesson from the hard way back in legion, never again
It takes more than a couple months to “git gud” for the average person, especially if they’re not a veteran of the genre to begin with.
Also, trying to get someone to treat the game in a min-max / overly serious fashion right out of the gate, again especially if they’re not a vet, is a good way to make them resent the game or at least burn out super quickly.
It’s way too easy for long-time players to drag a friend into the game only to totally ruin their experience by trying to rush them to the same status that they are.
Yeah but for completely different reasons. I regret pulling them into this expansion. Also buying a boost for a new player? What were you even thinking…
