Then boost a 70. You still get renown and gear.
Gearing is far from difficult the average ilvl of those 70 are 415 highest being 443. The journey of gearing is part of the fun. I’ve gotten all the renown that I want for the dragon manuscripts/transmogs.
A boost is useless to someone like me for what it provides. Race/Faction change is something I could get on board with, shake a few of those characters I’ve already invested in. As I said in the original post, I have characters that date back to Vanilla and have rare and valuable recipes I can’t or don’t desire to farm up again. I’ve collected most the legendaries (pre legion). A new boosted character isn’t the solution for any of that. Other services are. Maybe I want my NE warrior that I’ve had since vanilla to be a void elf now, or my DK I’ve had since day one WOLK to be a horde panda now. No, I’m stuck with a boost that I likely won’t use.
Just hold on to it. A time might come where you decide you want to boost a character. I recently boosted up an old druid of mine that was my main in Cataclysm with a boost I’ve had for years (so it wasn’t to level cap but it helped). Still have another boost waiting.
I guess at this point it’s tradition. I do like your out of the box thinking on this one though. A lot of us just randomly pick an alt (well, not randomly, but you know what I mean) - but offering a couple of options is a good point. That said with the amount of players with alt’s it’s the only option that will please most of the players
Exactly, I will likely just choose my AH alt again who hasn’t left the dwarven district AH in 7 years.
It’s a waste of a service if I feel I have no choice because I wouldn’t use any other way.
I think the heritage sets have been limited to characters that were not boosted.
