And mages and soon pallies would be rushing to max to do the same thing that is happening in classic now. The need for gold to buy those carries would then translate into a demand for bought gold that would create the same bots.
Botters make about 200g a day ($8 USD). Their farms are terribly inefficient. Using that logic, itād be irrelevant for a bot to use the boost because they make multiple times that $8 worth of gold just leveling the bot; there is no reason for the botter to risk whatever extra $ it will cost for the boost, even if the cost scales to their Argentinian accounts.
Gold Buying will ALWAYS be a thing. Whether itās to pay for Training, Mounts, Mats, etc., doesnāt matter. Removing Dungeon Boosting doesnāt stop this.
Iām not āoffendedā. Iām disappointed. Itās you who is āoffendedā. Youāre so offended by the existence of Dungeon Boosting itās so funny!
EDIT: I genuinely am curious why that bothers people so much! What is so wrong with Dungeon Boosting?
A level 58 boost, even for a single character per-account, will significantly affect server economies. There are a lot of people who donāt have the will to level alts that will use it to have a gatherer/extra crafter for TBC. That increase in people gathering nodes/crafting will certainly change things economically.
What is wrong with buying a boost? For that matter, why are you trying to say what I am when my own words are not that way? Are you really so bored that trolling the forums fills some hole in your life today? If that is the case, then you are welcome, I guess.
I think not wanting the boost because it wasnāt in the game back then makes sense. To get boosted, unless you had a friend who was happy to just boost you for hours on end you still had to level up your own character, then farm the gold, to pay for the boost. (or buy gold ><)
In the end I donāt really care anymore, because that will just cut into my enjoyment if I worry about something I canāt change, what is going to happen, will happen, unless too many people complain and it doesnāt look like it will reach that level.
Iām just going to gradually level my characters the old fashioned way, and while the paid boost cheapens the achievement of leveling to 70 which is disappointing to me, Iāve just got to accept it and enjoy the game for myself as Iāve been hoping for TBC since before Classic.
Personally to me itās like using cheat codes, so itās just not fulfilling to be gearing up a character that was gifted at a high level. But there are plenty of people who have a blast and will only play games with hacks, so.
When I said that, I wanted to be clear that Iām not contributing to the problem, and that my opinion has some merit and value. Even if I was (again, Iām not), it holds no weight to the conversation. I just know that some (not all) like to blatantly disregard opinions because of that.
Also, I (personally) donāt view it as a āproblemā.
Wait a minute, wait a minuteā¦
Are you telling me, that players farming āruinsā the economy? Now, thatās a āfacepalmā moment.
It is a grind. The 60 is doing the āgrindā. The Level 58 Boost Feature removes that, entirely.
Should I waste my time listing the numerous things that also didnāt exist, or people didnāt do in original Classic that they do now? The amount of things they abuse/sell/exploit?
Should I list the addons that didnāt exist, should I list the ease of access to gold selling sites, and Mage boosting 1-60 in 24 hours played. Should I list the amount of resources that are available online now to make it 100000x easier to do anything in the game?
Should we remove those things? Nope, because once again this has nothing to do with Blizzard and everything to do with the community. Stop.Shifting.Blame.
