How much money are you will to pay to boost a character from level 1 to level 58?
Obviously, if you are not interested or against the boost, this conversation does not apply to you. So no need to respond with comments in that regard.
Most likely it’ll be $60 USD similar to the retail boost. They might even do a deal that if you buy a year subscription you’ll get a character boost but we don’t know until we know.
Honestly, I don’t believe the boost will cost $60 like it does on retail. This is too steep a price just to skip the base game on one character only.
But Blizzard know that people will buy the boost tho (including the anti-booster vocal minority crowd), so they’re likely to get away with a $60 price tag, even if I don’t agree with that kinda price.
Strictly discussing the potential cost of the boost, I agree with this.
I don’t see any incentive for Acti/Blizz to not charge the same cost as retail. They kept the sub cost the same (to play WoW in general), and I just don’t see Acti/Blizz with how MTX happy they are to charge less for a TBC boost.
Bobby K needs that Yacht bonus to come from somewhere, afterall.
If anything, I wouldn’t be surprised if the TBC boost actually costs MORE than its retail version, since in retail the leveling process literally is a useless chore at this point in time and all their development goes in to end-game and other micro-transactions.
Honestly I’d be okay with the normal boost price… I’d prefer it to be cheaper, but to not have to suffer through vanilla, that price is worth it to me.
If it is anywhere near $60 I hope they announce that soon so the antiboost crowd can move on to their next tired argument instead of just “bUt tHe bOtS”. I’d like to see some new garbage.
