Not even.
You are not locked out of content from playing the game at all. Nothing is locked behind a paywall.
My comparison perfectly fits.
locked out of the content I do like until I slog through the content I donât like unless I boost
seriously, itâs not a hard concept

These are irrelevant to pair up. It doesnât matter if it is a good idea or not, the Devs (plural) set the rules, the standards, the limitations, the goals, everything.
Unless youâre going to address the Devs directly and what the Devs intend, youâre literally just preaching to make yourself feel better about not liking their decision.
This is a hilariously erroneous analogy.
We have the option of either leveling to 58 on our own â OR â paying real life money to jump to level 58.
It isnât do nothing vs do something, youâre doing something in both cases.
The better analogy is âdo you want to mow the front and back lawns for permission to go to the party or do you want to pay me 30 bucks for permission to go to the partyâ where there are no guarantees what the party will entail for you and what you did before the party really doesnât have any impact on what you do once you get there, and of course the presence of asking a parent/guardian for permission because in-game we play exclusively by Dev rules.
You can give all the vapid feedback you want, but until you actually seriously address the issue, no one need take you seriously, and youâre just yet another spam post on a long dead topic.

If you donât want to play the game and dislike the content offered, then why bother playing?
Why not find a better game that matches your needs instead of expecting a hand out?
If you donât like boosts, you can find a game without them.

âI donât like Vanilla but I like Chocolateâ
âhurr durr well if you donât like ice cream then donât eat it!â
lol. itâs a boost to 58, something I can do by spamming Frostbolt for 50 hours. itâs not an instant 70 with free raid gear

Why donât you actually offer a constructive conversation then instead of accusing me of âspammingâ and being a jerk about it?
Boosting doesnât HAVE to be the solution. No one here has offered any sort of conversation about what can be done better.
Iâm all for nerfing exp to make the game a bit FASTER to get through content, but not something that you just automatically start at.
This isnât a black and white discussion. There is room for grey areas to talk about what can be done to appease both sides.
The forums are here to express how you feel about certain topics. Customer Support always tells people to do that. This is the place for that. Why do you expect people to not utilize there proper use.
I have the right to talk about these topics here as long as Iâm well within the rules.
I did. You brought irrelevant information, which I pointed out, and argued against something that has no bearing on the Devsâ decision to include boosts, which renders your entire topic pointless and just spam.
Disliking the feedback doesnât make me a jerk or nonconstructive.
No one needs to, the Devs have made their decision. That is the status quo, no one here has to justify the Devsâ choice.
Certainly, but youâre arguing as if boosts are still up in the air, driven by selfish (your assessment) players who are too lazy (again your assessment) to level properly (ditto your assessment). This is silly and incorrect.
If you donât want boosts, you have to start by acknowledging we are presently getting boosts and that the Devs have good reason to incorporate them. Then you can walk it back to argue why an alternative to boosts should be implemented instead, but not before.
So long as you come right out the gate in open hostility and a refusal to even treat the status quo as legitimate, no one has any reason to treat you seriously or as anything other than another troll thread.

The boost is once per account, isnât mandatory, and theyâre even opening Vanilla-only servers so you can experience both the boring nerfed and even more boring unnerfed Vanilla leveling to your heartâs content. Anyone who wants to please both sides recognizes both sides have what they need to be pleased, the only people arguing against boosts now are those who foolishly believe that someone else jumping past irrelevant content somehow ruins the experience of someone who leveled normally

Hey talayon, why dont you go back to runescape where the game is infested by bots and toxic players. And also at the end nobody was playing runescape classic, the game was already dead, just filled with bots, BUT HEY! THATS THE TRUE EXPERIENCE RIGHT???
WoW and Runescape really arent comparable. WoWs content is focused around max level. In Runescape the content is more available to all levels, and you generally arenât even expected to hit the max level.
Runescape 3 is the definition of paying real money to speed up the process of skipping through dead levels.
Bonds allow you to buy gold with real money which directly correlates to xp for crafting skills. Treasure hunter gives you metric tons of bonus xp and the extremely frequent promotions make it even cheaper and more efficient. Not to mention that winning the 200m prize gives even more gold which equals even more experience.
I donât care about it in runescape the same way I donât care about it in WoW, but Mama always told me not to throw stones in glass houses. You do you, let other people do them.
Well in this community, you can make friends with the mages that boost you⌠But only if you pay them!

Boosts only exist to milk players who think they do but they donât or to allow you to play more characters at capâŚ
The first one is dumb for obvious reasons. Driven purely by blizzard greed.
The second one is not necessary. And it should always be that the golden rule of an mmo is that if you want a max level character or a level 58 character you have to exploit game mechanics to boost yourself quickly or level like everyone else.
Mage boosting already exists. We donât need pay to boost.
Iâve seen this argument a couple of times, and Iâm convinced that the only people who make this proposition levelled up in Vanilla - not The Burning Crusade.
As somebody who joined WoW in very late Vanilla and was approximately level 30 when TBC came out, I can tell you that the levelling âexperienceâ was completely underwhelming.
Donât get me wrong, I still had fun. However, when TBC dropped everybody buggered-off their alts and took their mains to Outland. The high-level zones were became all but abandoned and I never had an opportunity to run Sunken Temple, ZulâFarrak, or Mauradon as there was never enough players in the Zone - let alone any interested players, as everybody was rushing through content to hit 60 as soon as possible. I never ran Stratholme, Scholomance or Blackrock Depths because anybody of that level had already gone to Outland. I never meaningfully engaged with the factions and plotlines of the high level zones because the reputation would be for nought in the new expansion. And this was when WoW was steadily increasing in numbers - I couldnât imagine what that would be like today with Classicâs relatively static and engrained community.
I donât claim to be representative of every person who levelled up during TBC, but I resent players such as you comparing the Vanilla levelling experience as if it were ubiquitous with the TBC levelling experience. They werenât. Levelling in TBC felt very alienating in a lot of ways, like something you were forced to slog through before you could join the big kidâs table at Outland.

Ya they can add boosts to keep around some retail subs and then lose some classic subs in the process like mine

If your against the boost here is what you can do.
Donât use the boost
Or
Use the boost to get your lvl 58. Then delete your level 58.
There, now you donât have to worry about your boost. Let others chose what to do with theirs, as itâs not your boost to complain about.

I started WoW back in December 2006 on a free trial. So yeah, I pretty much leveled from 1-70. The 1-60 part was awesome for me, as I liked questing (and still do.) Getting dungeon runs sucked for the most part.
If someone wants to come back for TBC and pay for a boost, then so be it. Itâs not like people who pay mages for boosts are learning their class, anyway.
