Also thank you Blizzard for this opportunity for so many people to come enjoy TBC! We welcome the boost as it’s a huge benefit to so many friends and groups I know!

its private server players who seem to mostly be people who a. thought after vanilla ended wow died or b. wrath babies, who view vanilla and tbc as the same thing. they never experienced it when it was current.
You have absolutely no basis for claiming that most people love the boosts.
Paid boosts implementation paves the way for Activision to bring in more paid services, like wow tokens. They might say that they won’t, but they already said they wouldn’t bring in paid boosts.
If you want to be lazy even when you’re on a video game man you can go play retail, I don’t know why you think you get to come into classic like you’ve never even heard of #nochanges or read the criticisms thousands of peopled levied against Activisions changes made in recent expansions (paid services among them)
And this minority bs, you sound really confident there champ, would you like to see it put a vote then? That would end it all.
I’m what you would call a ‘Boomer’ or what I would call an actual adult.
I’m going to advocate that the classic project continue with the goals and ideals it set out with because this is blatant greed thrown in the face of promises made to the consumer and the community.
Now you can react in whatever flippant way you choose, but you’re just showing your a$$ as far as I can tell.
No right now it’s your problem, I’m your problem. You want something that we are only just warming up to oppose. I want to thank each of you for the vitriolic spirit with which you defended Activision’s greed and your short sighted selfishness. You made convincing people in guild discords tonight a-lot easier, people really do need a heel sometimes.
And after that cute little rant right there, I won’t be reading anything else you have to say sir.
until i see an official poll on who likes it i will disagree with you on that.
they said what is now referred to as “Classic Era” will not have boosts
TBC Classic had no such promise
most recent community poll has 56% in favor of boosts. is this a perfect representation? no, but it’s definitely better than anything you could possibly have to argue otherwise
well then good news for you, Classic is still running exactly as Blizzard has been saying it will

you can say that but it doesn’t make it true.
<citation needed>correction, it’s actually gone up to 58.9% in favor since I last looked
of course, as I said, community polls aren’t an entirely accurate source on these matters, but they’re definitely better than “I’m in the majority because I said so”
so, you ready to bow out and actually save some dignity, or are you going to continue acting like a child because you aren’t getting your way?

You think we’re going to use a poll done in THESE forums? And one that splits off your opponents right from the first question? One that’s not even about just this one issue it’s unfocused and not official.
Why when I go to the subreddit do i read entirely different commentary.
Listen, Blizzard didn’t start this party, the community did. We got here first and oh the laughs we had at people who would actually play a MMORPG that let lazy kids skip the leveling process. And the thousands of people who couldn’t be arsed to even make it to level 40. Those people don’t deserve to play this game it’s not for them clearly and a boost to 58 isn’t going to change that. It has nothing to do with how much free time one has, I know a guy that took 4 months to get to 60 because he works 2 jobs and supports a family, if that guy can take the time to level so can you. Instead you want to change the game that we asked activision to bring back because what it’s not what you want?
Why do you even play classic because it sounds like you’d be a-lot happier in retail.
I don’t know guy, maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up with a tablet in my hand but you get what you work for and if you’re going to keep rolling out that “mages boost people anyway” argument it’s 20 minutes of coding by 2 people and that’s done solved fixed finished.
they sent out a survey and the boosts are the results of it. you can google it. wowhead had a thing about it i think. and one of the options was “new servers that start at level 58” so essentially from the beginnings of tbc classic being talked about blizz knew that most people wouldn’t want to start at level 1. more people picked going from classic to tbc classic cuz they didn’t want to lose all the things they did in classic. tbc classic has always been a “start at 58” thing. the only difference was between everyone starting fresh at 58 vs people keeping gold/stuff and others paying to start at 58.
As opposed to what you have?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Uh, there was no “here” to begin with until Blizzard made the game. What drugs are you on and where can I get some?
Absolutely I could, but I wouldn’t enjoy it. I hate Vanilla zones and quests. Definitely love Outland and its quests though! Wait, you actually think we want boosts because we don’t have time to level? Lol
I don’t. Quite looking forward to TBC Classic though, and especially Wrath Classic if the trend continues!
Ok well, not really sure what led here but I’ve bought every console, PC, and laptop I’ve ever owned with my own money earned through actual work, with the exception of my old Gameboy Pocket and Pokemon Yellow that my awesome parents bought for me when I was but a wee lad

i didn’t have a cell phone until i was in my 20s. didn’t do any sort of mobile gaming at all until my mid 30s. the first time i used my phone to play a game (or tablet or whatever) was when i started playing HS. my FoS show when that was. just another personal attack against us that has no basis in reality. i am essentially an honorary boomer when it comes to technology. my wife has to show me how to do things on my phone all the time. -.-
edit: i played bejeweled before that for a couple of levels then rage quit.
No, what? what do you mean that every point has been shutdown and made irrelevant?
Boosts will make it easier for botters to get placed into the dungeons where they farm gold. Do you think that botters all run on one account? Botters will 100% abuse this and make so many accounts that are just instant 58’s. How can you expect to report the botters when you can’t even see them because they’re all inside a dungeon? If this is what you were referring to when you said…
Making 75 accounts to get a level 58
Most players won’t do this, in my opinion apart from the botters only 0.01% of players will do this. If there’s a way to do it you can expect some percentage of the playerbase to do it but botters will 100% abuse it.
Every expansion the economy is basically reset. New BiS BoE items, new herbs, Ore, Gems, Motes/Primals, Enchanting essences and dusts. It’s all reset, only it’s starting point is higher than most would like (including myself).
58 boosts do nothing to the ecomamy unless they buy gold (which i assume some will)
This boost is aimed at the players that didn’t have the time, didn’t want to put in the time or just got burnt out while levelling. These people won’t make the game “thrive” they’ll play for a month or two, get board and then quit again.
Because if the people that this is aimed at haven’t even bothered to get a single character to 60 especially this late in the game, for them to not even have one at this point shows that they either can’t put in the time or they just don’t care enough about the game.
Those people won’t make the game thrive, they’ll leave again just how they did in Classic. Sure some will stay but most will leave again.

i must have missed the go fund me for classic that all the people who rage quit pre-cata and private server players put money into. cuz as far as i’m concerned blizz is doing a solid to the people who actually paid for classic in the first place. retail players. you know… the ones who paid to play all along. who blizz knows will spend money. unlike the classic pop who thinks classic should be f2p and want blizzard to go bankrupt or whatever weird things yall post. even if everyone does rage quit thats $60 per person to go towards wrath classic. and lord knows classic players aren’t gonna be paying for it themselves. as they didn’t pay for vanilla classic, either.
A valid talking point, but one that’s still entirely speculation. I think bots won’t touch boosts with a 10 foot pole personally. Why would you spend $16 for one account when you could buy 4 for the same price and make 4x as much gold once they’re up and running with a significantly reduced chance to see your entire investment go up in smoke?
Botters using boosts relies entirely on Blizzard being quick to ban them rather than doing banwaves every few months which justifies the higher initial investment, because they need to make gold now before they’re banned.
And? They’ll provide bodies for relevant leveling content for the month or two they stick around. I fail to see how more people playing in relevant areas of the game is a downside.
in retail bots don’t pay for boosts. they pay to access the newest expansion, which comes with one. if tbc classic had a box cost the way retail expansions do we’d all get one for free, as we do in retail.
This doesn’t really have anything to do with the boost really I was merely pointing out something I notice, I tried to get my friends to join Classic only one of them got to level 60 among like 20 people, most of them returned to retail before reaching level 40.
And before Blizz Classic was a thing I tried to get people who said they wanted Blizzard to make Classic/TBC/WOTLK server badly, to come and play with me on Vanilla private servers, none of them stayed, I then tried the same with a TBC server same result, but suddenly when I tried the same thing with a WOTLK server around 8 out of 15 people stayed for 1-2 months, (and that was despite bugged quests everywhere.) obviously this isn’t good enough to be proof of anything but it was still a interesting thing I notice.
All I’m trying to say is those who hated Classic in general like its Gameplay or talents or even leveling speed and so on will also hate TBC and the boost wouldn’t really matter in this case, which is why I believe boost or not it doesn’t matter for those people.
You cant generalize on anecdotal evidence. I hate the leveling of classic. Hate it. I was subbed from launch and am still going strong. I think the great thing about classic is there are truly different things for all play styles to like, and there is nothing saying that a person who hates leveling cannot enjoy everything else TBC has to offer and let the other things be what keeps them around for the long term
