Last I checked nobody is crying about having to level to 58.

I disagree, only because TBC released the same way, and folks leveling draenei/belfs got along just fine.
If anything Iād say itās a stroke of genius that blizzard isnāt allowing the 58 boost for the new races, because itās going to pump life into the old zones of azerothā¦ especially with mage boosting getting the nerf that it is, and paladins being much slower at performing the same boosts, I think that it might provide the best incentive for new alt races to level together the traditional wayā¦ but I think it would be interesting to have a Fresh TBC server someday
difference is, they only had to make ground vs. people with 10 times the head start, now its more like 100 times.
Thatās not what this post is about.
My post is purely to point out the hypocrisy of the majority of people who act as though they are vehemently against the one time boost, but we all know they are going to use it and enjoy it.
If you really didnāt like it, you wouldnāt use it, and you would boycott players who did from your groupsā¦ but even then youāre just causing more harm than good.
Iāve seen personally tons of people rejoining classic at low levels who quit in p2 because of the nightmare that was the honor system release, who are excited to have the 58 boost available to them as a catchup system.
If I had it my way, everyoneās gold would get scaled down to sub 2k values to wash away all of the inflation caused by the unchecked gold farming and buying that occurred in classic and was laundered through GDKP raids.
I was replying to a person saying āSo many crybabies that cry about having to level 58!ā. It just didnāt quote them. It shows in the top right corner of the post. Iāve now edited in the quote of the person I was replying to for clarity.
i will not use it and i dont enjoy them being implemented 
speak for yourself
doing that
or some fresh no boost/no transfer servers and then new/returning/blood elves/draenei encouraged to roll on them. i want both. i plan to boost a spriest, but for my draenei and blood elf, iād like fresh
Thank you for being an honest person. 
You and the players who think like you along with blizzard and activision are the reason I quit
Lilock if you find yourself on Grobbulus come TBC Iād be happy to help you along, I may be a little preoccupied trying to zoom my paladin through attunements but if youāre going to be boosting a priest and youāre down to heal through some dungeon grinds for rep Iād happily join you and probably even level an alt character with you.
I play horde fairbanks alliance Grobb, Iāve got a 60 mage/priest/rogue/shaman on fairbanks and a War/Pally/52 lock on grobbā¦
I was planning on leveling a belf paladin to 60 but since blizzard announced the SoB for alliance @ 70 I think Iāll be likely going alliance full time
You fail entirely to see how a level 58 boost will have severe and irreparable consequences. A 58 boost would make the barrier of entry for botters lower than ever which will inflate the economy like never before. A lvl 58 boost would also negatively influence the experience for those leveling naturally since the world would be overall more dead. Although the majority of 58 boosters would probably choose to instead not level at all if not given the instant 58 option, a portion would suck it up and level.
Lastly, the point behind the 58 boost completely contradicts the reason behind its implementation in the first place. Since the 58 boost is (as Blizzard themselves put it) meant for players who donāt have the time to level naturally and catch up to their friends, what makes you think that these players will survive even one month of the tedious grindy experience that is endgame WoW? These players wonāt see a single raid since they will never complete the attunement to begin with in TBC.
You quit but you still frequent the forumsā¦ are you literally just here to complain about things that donāt impact you because you arenāt going to play anyway?
yikes someone was busy!!!
woot woot.
well then! how nice! is it pvp? i dont roll on pvp servers
A one time use 58 boost will not kill low level leveling dudeā¦ Mage boosting already did that. Anybody who has a 60 already is going to be rushing through the dark portal and going to be ignoring azeroth for atleast a week until they hit cap or close to it.
The people who donāt immediately do that will be leveling draenei/blood elves and breathing life into azeroth.
The 58 boost is only going to benefit the people who want to try a new class they havenāt already leveled or people who quit early because azeroth was already dead due to mage boosting.
As far as the gold farming complaint goes, youāre complaining about a symptom and not the real issueā¦ gold farmers are going to do their thing no matter what, Iāve grinded elemental earth alongside the same farmers since my first level 60 on classicā¦ the real issue you should want addressed is blizzards lack of GMs/support teams to root out and ban RMT players.

Players left and subs declined, then Blizzard acted.
Itās RPPVP, so itās like a pvp server but thereās less cringe PVP griefingā¦ I love it, because it feels more authentic and less Memeāy than generic pvp serversā¦ I sadly do not level on PVE servers because I do enjoy the competition and lore associated with world pvp
I agree that mage boosting has already negatively impacted the leveling experience but itās important to see the distinction between making an in game transaction with gold and simply handing Blizzard more money directly. Itās one step away from implementing a gold token or a boost for anything else (profession boost, attunement boost, etc.).
And yes, gold farming is only a symptom of the larger problem that is botting but at this point since I have 0 faith in Blizzard to control the botting problem I donāt see it as a good idea to add features that enhance the problem since itās here to stay.

I see this argument all the time that mage boosting is an ingame transaction and not a literal wallet paid serviceā¦ but I think itās important to acknowledge that it still is essentially a wallet paid service.
So many people buy gold with real money from mage boosters, then they use that gold in GDKPs, it gets laundered across everyone in the raid, making it impossible to remove from the game, and then participants in those GDKPs use that gold to pay mage boosters for boostsā¦ and the circle repeats itselfā¦
Itās a lot more long winded sure, but the same none the less imoā¦
The only solution to this problem is for everyone to very loudly demand the re-implementation of active GMs in game whos sole purpose is to root out cheaters, botters, and gold selling accountsā¦
Half the people in this thread are trolls. The other half are idiots who feed the trolls.
Botters and hackers potentially using the boosts to save time is the only way boosts can hurt the game. Any other argument against boosting is just from gatekeeping neck beards. Additional restrictions hurts players more than botters.
Botters arenāt even going to get a huge benefit from boosting because theyāll have to funnel gold from retail for blizz bucks or use fraudulent credit cards. Thatās a headache so better to be quiet an Mage power level 4 characters to 70 in just a few days instead.
Get off your high horses and go back to arguing on mmochamp facebook posts. Thatās the most appropriate place for most of you.
