Once again mentioning how bad the anti boosting measure is

IF you played during 2021, you knew that:

Scarcity in Shaman/Paladin was brutal until like phase mid phase 3. Even then, it wasn’t great. I’d say it was ‘okay’ during phase 4/5.

To keep in mind, this was when boosting was allowed, GDKPS to fund gold for those, and a non speed up cycle of TBC.

Not selling the boosts is one thing, but let people use the mage boosting in the game then. Or just one or the other. I’d happily buy the boost. Blizzard, take my money for those sweet q4 numbers.

This is going to greatly exacerbate the issue that is that scarcity.

Why would you: Level up 1-70 for sped-up tbc in it’s third iteration, when prior you could boost it? Would you add 15 minutes to your commute to work just cause? Of course not. It is next to impossible to sell people that an objectively slower method of something is the move now after they’ve experienced the commute to work that’s 15 minutes shorter.

That’s all. Please fix this, or please literally say anything so that those of us creating rosters ect can know what to prepare for. Thanks.

This is the PTR forum, not the main classic forum. The anti-boosting is in place because the community wanted it.

This. Exactly. Thank you.

What’s your point? These are on the PTR, not on live.

I’ll take the bait.

All of your post history is just rage bait ngl.

You have a dent in your brain if you legitimately think banning boosts will hurt swipers lmao.

Do you earnestly believe that with less methods to make gold, people will be more inclined to farm? LMAO.

It’s a good thing. It stops RMT.

Yeah, like banning GDKPS did right?

Yes, like banning GDKP did.

RMT is way down.

Hey man, I’m gonna just throw you on ignore after this because your entire post history is just trolling/rage bait and it’s not worth my time and effort. I hope you find peace or something to satisfy you in life because presumably pushing your 30s/40s and trolling forums for a 21+ year old game is super sad.

Raw data from gold selling websites shows that it’s peaking in Anni, google it.

Thank you for doing me a favor.

RMT is way down without GDKP and will be even lower without boosting.

These are great changes.
