They gave that option for people who didn’t play Vanilla but wanted to play BC and not be weeks behind as a new player. Since the boost doesn’t work on BE or Draenei it is not really relevant to most of us who actually played classic.
or in the case of casuals like me, months. lol

Yeah because people playing BC classic want to play BC classic and not classic. There is a different game version for that. Though I already leveled up every toon I wanted to 60 a long time ago. The only one left is a BE paladin, but considering about 50% of the guild is currently leveling one I will stick with a hunter. Paladins didn’t become super fun until Wrath anyways imo.
I did in 2007. They won’t let me boost a Blood Elf so I won’t be taking part this time. I just don’t have the time to grind out 70 levels again. If I wanted to play a human or Troll I could get a boost, but I don’t get the urge to play either.

I’m not and don’t intend to.
I have a hunter I created for TBCC . Tried regular classic before and was meh so I will probably boost it for TBC because I want to see more of the expansion i started playing in when it was near the end .
I made a Zandrae on a Classic BC server and am leveling it with my RP partner.
I might try to build up a small crew to mess around in Karazhan with.
I was firmly in the camp of “been there, done that”.
Then one of my friends talked me into it.
It’s magical. It’s glorious. It touches the soul in a way that retail just can’t. I’m still struggling to articulate it, but it’s more than the combat being more impactful. Every button matters. You press everything. You feel every button. Even the white hits matter. It’s slower, yeah, but it feels more rewarding to me than filler spam. I hated when dps went to “builder/spender” Philosophy, and I hated when they took all tanks to AM. This feels better to me.
But that’s only the icing on the cake. The best way I can think of to describe it is that retail has a lot of things to do, while tbc has a lot of things you can do. There’s no time gates, no chores. All the content is just out in front of you. You’re an adventurer, not a demigod. It’s… awesome really.
I didn’t think any game could get me like that again, but here I am. Even knowing everything I know about BC, it still has that feeling.

I made a BE paladin on Herod server just to see how many people. There was a wait line on mobs. I laughed and logged off. Only WoW players can be suckered into excitement for a mediocre expansion fueled by red tinted glasses. Only active forum users still around remember the crying and doom saying that was TBC.
0 interest in tbc classic
I’m gonna level a Draenei through the starting zones but that’s probably about it. I agree that TBC is kinda a turn-off since so much of that expansion still exists as it did in retail today. I even have a level 18 Warlock doing Chromie Time in Hellfire right now that I was playing before Shadowlands.
I just don’t have the time to level all the way up to 58 to quest in the “new” zones, and I’m not getting a boost. Not even with my gold I have way to much of on retail.
This is perfect.
waves both hands!! meeee! But I’m playing retail too! I have a lot of WoW Goals!
I have been enjoying the full blown Karen grade meltdowns I have been witnessing. In my classic guild and the tbc forums.

no, and no. playing BC again wouldn’t be any more fun than retail is right now
I’m pretty stoke to get my blood knight charger and tabard
I’m going to have 6 lv 60s by the time TBCC comes out.
Almost not looking forward to pushing them all to 70 but that’s life 
Its not that I enjoy SL.
I just did BC content when it was initially out in 06.
I have zero desire to do it again.
Besides, most of the questing and questlines are still in place and work just fine, so its not like you are learning anything you couldn’t have learned before TBCC comes out.
