Thats your two bit analysis of my thoughts and its clear from reading it that you have no idea what Im talking about. If you cant grasp what Im driving at its because you cant hang in this discussion and that aint my fault.
TBC was a smash hit and there were no boosts. Logic and past performance suggest that you dont need boosts in Classic TBC for it to be successful, especially with the years long clamoring for it to be a thing and so there is nothing a pro booster can say that makes boosting necessary, important, meaningful, etc. Its a cash grab for Blizz and they know youre all a bunch of phonies anyway so why the hell not?
Remember, supposedly a large part of the reason to bring the classics back was to get away from that stuff. I guess yall thought ya did but you really didnt.
Just because you don’t agree with something doesn’t mean it’s not a fact. Example, I say boosts weren’t in TBC and the same three people spend the next hour saying how that doesn’t matter, the game has changed, the playerbase has changed, this isn’t TBC, etc, etc, etc.
Why? Why spend that kind of energy when someone makes a simple statement of fact? Because that’s why they come here…to argue for argument sake.
And yet classic was not a smash hit despite no boosts… weird it’s almost like boosts aren’t tightly linked to subs one way or the other. And despite what you say there is also no harm in offering boosts so if some people get some value out of them and blizzard makes some money that’s fine.
Well since Elfblade said so it must be true and have nothing to do with the fact that post-Cata expansions hemorrhaged subs rather swiftly but also saw huge surges of new players, notably in WoD and Legion.
YUP.
Bwahahaha this is your rebuttal? “But what about if you’re fighting Undead/Demons!?” Well gee, you probably want to use those abilities in your tremendous downtime and up your ability count to a conditional 8 abilities which still doesn’t even come close to the BASELINE UNTALENTED SKILLS of a Retail Retribution Paladin.
Sit down child.
Okay? I’m aware of the push back against modern graphics and designs, I said as much.
Gee. Can’t imagine why purists have no sense of longevity or health for the game.
The best expansion ever…are you high? Are mounts more important to you than game balance?
MoP was when Blizzard finally stopped trying to maintain the illusion their employees and shareholders still cared about the game and could spell integrity.
It was the changing of the guard where the dollars dictated that the game’s features and progression be suited to the desires OF CHILDREN instead of the old guard. Now these children are 10 years older and typing on forums about MoP being the good old days.
You people already have retail, I honestly am disgusted at the temerity you show by wanting classic to be your way as well. Disgusted but not surprised.
I’m not the one trying to claim boosts are tightly tied to sub counts, elf is.
I’ve never claimed that boosts were some magic formula for success, all I’ve said is they don’t have a major impact one way or the other and don’t hurt anything so if some people get value from them more power to whoever uses one…
Why would a video game company need to spell “integrity” regarding how the game was played or interacted with? Introducing new mechanics, new races, new raids, etc, has nothing to do with integrity.
WHAT?!? Are you kidding me? Are you this insecure that because Blizzard brought us Pandaria that your super serious MMO was inexplicably tainted?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dude… I was still in the military when Vanilla released. My wife and children all played MoP with me. That expansion was fine, one of the better ones for sure.
Go take a shower and interact with some people IRL, holy crap.
I would prefer not to have boosts in TBC and I have high regards for MoP as one of the best expansions that Blizzard has ever made. Had an incredibly healthy amount of both daily and weekly content, the raids were all amazing, it was incredibly alt friendly, they made it easy to go back and collect stuff like mounts from previous expansions and the list goes on.
You should make arguments for why you think boosts aren’t good for the game without attacking retail or previous expansions…
No, not more power to them. They’re not using them in a vacuum, their advocating for this to be an option, or more poignantly not speaking out against it, directly affects me and the game I enjoy.
Ergo it is NOT in my interests and it is not in the interests of a great many of us here who do not want to see this game brought back only to be ruined by greed and laziness a second time.
If that were just me i’d have to suck it up and leave the best game i’ve ever played, like I did so long ago. But not this time, not if this time my peers are in their 30s and should have enough gorram sense to know better and see the writing on the wall.
They are not getting any advantage over you, and after a couple hours questing in outlands you won’t even be able to tell a boosted character from any other character. If you even can at all depending on what gear they’re given.
