Probably from happiness.
No people cried about the inherent unfairness of a class starting at 56 when horde paladins and alliance shaman had to level through 60 levels of non tbc content to get to TBC and play with people
Then complained that DKs got their own special zones and attention
Then complained that it was unfair they got a whole set of blues and a mount
Then complained that they were overpowered because they were the new Blizzard pet
Then we got the dungeon finder and people stopped caring because leveling became less of a hassle

Being fair, S5 DKs are to this day considered one of the strongest specs for their time in the history of the game. They were overpowered.

Sure, but that happens to every spec eventually. Disc priest on Heroic 25m LK was ridiculously OP, but anyway it’s funny that everyone eventually gets over it and DKs just become part of the game
Believe it or not, there are lots of humans who want to play TBC but don’t want to play Vanilla – not even for a few weeks. That is who the TBC boost is for – people who want to play TBC on launch day, but don’t already have a 60 in Vanilla.
This feature is 6 years old. Why all the hate? This feature has been proven to add new players (tens of thousands) to the game. Why is that bad?

The bot argument is nonsensical, the value of buying an account and a boost is less than them botting a character to 58 in minimal time. The bots already exist as well, this concern is irrelevant. The reality, when it comes down to it, is that it’s purely everyones feelings on it, and nothing more. Trying to justify their feelings with logical reasons, how it could be bad for the game, but all of them have been disproven and made irrelevant.
It’s fine you don’t like it, because you don’t like it, but ultimately it benefits a lot of people, and it provides blizzard with profit on the the product which allows them to offer the product. Nobody will even consider the boosts when TBC is out, and you’re doing dungeons, raiding or arena, because it will NOT have a single negative impact on yours, or anyones gameplay, it’s merely affecting your emotions, which you can stop by accepting it and moving on.

im all for the boost. ive been looking forward to the chance to play tbc again ever since vanilla classic was announced. i have zero desire to play vanilla again but im excited to play tbc. in the absence of a boost, id be ok with a character copy from one of my current characters rolling them back to lvl 58.

The boost needs to be removed
While I have used some of my retail gold to put enough into the bnet account for a TBC boost, I am fairly sure that they will get some degree of negative response in the game. Those level 58-60 players in their raiding gear and level 60 mounts will see a player riding on a level 40 mount in blue gear and there very well could be putdowns because of it. I hope not, but there are people out there who look for any reason to look down on someone else.
I support the boost and would like dual specs added as well.

Except if a max level bot gets banned they will have to level up from scratch again. Which will take more time/gold than them simply flashing a credit card and purchasing a brand new character, boom they get straight back into the money making part of the game. Without the boost they’d have to level up like they do right now in Classic. I don’t know if you’ve played Classic recently but go out into the world and it won’t be hard to find a Hunter Bot with a chinese pet name. You can attack them, they won’t even fight back. We can see this and report them accordingly. However with the 58 boost the botters will have an easier time getting to max level without getting reported.
Please keep the level 58 boost. Thank you.

At the risk of sounding controversial to the forum topic or a nay-sayer I feel I should voice something… Something of an alternative.
The boost is happening. Sorry, but it is. The income potential is too great for Activision’s Blizzard to stable the idea of not putting boosts, and potentially other monetized features into the game further down the road.
The battle-lines are clearly drawn.
At this point if you are against the boost you might have an alternative, but it requires a heavy choice:
Subscribe to the notion of “fresh tbc servers” that offer no cash shop and no transfers/boosts
OR
Submit to the current roll-out and accept that boosts are happening. Get over it. And have fun. Do your best to be magnanimous and get over the petty squabble with the people who will be boosting on your server to play there with you.
“But it is not fair!”
“I worked hard for my stuff etc…”
Please forgive me quoting myself on this one but I believe the post is relevant here.
Forgive the laziness . I am passionate and I agree - but I am simply running out of different ways to wordsmith what is effectively the same post over and over.
If boosts are inevitable, what do you think of Blizzard releasing two types of servers? Boosted tbc servers and non boosted tbc servers?
Kind of like different types of servers like an rp pve and pvp server?

they can’t stop bots and they know it, this is just about money and they are using bots as the excuse.

there would be a lot more people on the non boost servers for sure, 90% of the community doesn’t want this at all.

then you should just go play retail and flounder around in BC content with Cromie.
