Gimme another boost so I can go to Outland plz ty.
If you are affraid of boosts and want to level in the old world thats fine, stay on the old classic servers. You can keep the limit on blood elf and draenei boosts, but let us veterans who have done it a hundred times skip to the good content.
I mean, of course you can go to Outland after leveling normally. If there is significant content in a game you play for enjoyment that you would literally pay to skip, then perhaps there’s an issue with the game design.
I enjoy the Outland leveling. But the old zones are boring and the leveling experience isn’t as fun. A lot of the quests are slow af and not properly tuned.
Spending a half an hour in the newbie zone on one quest is beyond frustrating. Mulgore quests are the literal worst. Maybe if they would up the drop rate on the gather quests it would be a little better. Killing 6 wolves in a row and not getting a paw is major league booboo.
Until Blizz opens up more boosts, you can always pay someone to boost you through dungeons … especially if you have a max level toon or two for gold to do it.
It’s pretty efficient and you gain levels at a reasonable rate.
Which makes me feel like perhaps “expansions” weren’t a good design decision.
I remember rolling a Tauren warrior during beta in 2004, because I liked playing barbs in D2, and thought why not. Then, when I was able to type like 15 messages to 5 different friends on MSN messenger between each swing in Mulgore, literally uninstalled WoW, and went back to D2 to spam run Mephisto on my soso.
I am sorry but please don’t drag all veterans into this. A true veteran will advocate for no boosts because characters in tbc should also be an identity.
Yeah, and while we’re at it, I’ve done the raid encounters a hundred times as well. If you guys want to do them, fine, but let us veterans skip to the good loot.
Maybe you should play singleplayer games instead of trying to force feed fun out of something you clearly can’t enjoy after doing it a couple times beforehand.
Maybe you’re not an MMORPG player. Maybe you have absolutely no business here. Maybe you are the reason the game is so terrible as is.
TBC has been weird. Imagine playing Warcraft 2, Warcraft 3, Diablo 1, 2, and 3, Starcraft 1 and 2, Hearthstone, Overwatch, and WoW and all of it’s expansions over 20 years just to be called a Tourist by some salty players and being told I don’t belong here.
Reaching level 10 takes under an hour, you are easily bored.
You’ll get your second boost in wrath pre patch. Hell, they may make them unlimited by then. They’re gonna need the income.
We’ll maybe you don’t.
Imagine deciding to play a classic game and expecting retail features. Then finding out it’s an old school RPG, and deciding that you need retail features to play it. Of course you’ll be called out on it.
Your group (and blizzard) have no concern about the people who wanted the game as it was. Your conveniences are much more important.
You’re called a tourist because you aren’t interested in the game. TBC is a very specific game. Leveling is vastly easier than it was in classic, as I just found out leveling this character from 1, at my own pace.
You don’t seem aware of the damage that boosts caused in retail, or why the classic crowd was so vehement that they not come here. In short there is a cost to your shortsighted request that you don’t recognize.
The vast majority of people who buy boosts won’t be here in six months. I played all the way through classic and had 6 level sixties by the end. I love leveling. I do not love that they effectively removed that part of the game.
Back in TBC seeing a specific class, like druid, or lock, would be uncommon. Boosts allow people to line up their meta classes at no cost, and they trivialize the work and time that goes into leveling characters.
You clearly disagree, as is your right. But those of us who recognize how retail became what it is see exactly the same thing happening here. Classic was amazing for two years. The tourists were gone in like a month.
Make no mistake…you will win. You will get more boosts. And when Wrath arrives you’ll get them again, because you’ve seen the outlands too many times right? May as well skip it for real life cash.
