The game starts at lvl 1

The idea that “The game starts at 58” is the justification blizzard used is laughable.

I started playing wow 4 weeks before TBC dropped and played through WOTLK.

Leveling up, doing the low level dungeons like Shadowfang Keep or Zul’Farrak were fundamental to learning the game, especially for new players.

The game starts at lvl 1 and this idea that it starts at 58 is retail mentality leaking into the decision making around TBC.

Now I can understand that they want more people to play and they want more money, but this is just not it.

Here is an idea, bring back Recruit a Friend.

While i agree with what you say

No, don’t please.
It way worse than a 1 time boost. Even if we all know they’ll remove the restriction unfortunatly.

I’m all for the “original” RAF haha.

I could just imagine the outcry you would have had when you found out Death Knights started at level 55 and not level 1 :frowning:

I was mad until I learned you had to essentially have a max level ish character to even make one.

The game starts when Blizzard says it starts! It’s not about what Blizz can do for you, it’s about what you can do for Blizz. Let’s keep that $$ rolling in for them. Those 200M bonuses don’t come out of nowhere you know.

LOL Bring back recruit a friend. You’re special aren’t you.
RAF let’s a botter do the following

1 main acc, 4 RAF accounts. RAf friends can teleport to their other friends they recruited.

So now, a botter has 4 lv 1s that get a major XP boost.

on top of this each level a RAF account gets gives 1 level to boost a character to the person who recruited. This means that by leveling 4 60s using RAF and dungeon runs, you get an additional TWO free lv 60s for your own main acc when all is said and done.

Smart thinking. It’s amazing how little you get how RAF works.

RAF rules can be changed, it doesn’t have to be an exact match to how it was. Not like boosts are either.

Like who is even playing classic that’s a brand new player to wow? The vast majority of people have levelled countless characters. So trying to make an argument that boosts are bad because people don’t get a chance to learn their class really ain’t gonna fly.

Make your own game and you can make that a reality. Or dont.

Either way enjoy the boosts

Have you not seen all the changes in the beta? When you boost you go to a TBC noob quest area and learn the game. Just like retail when you boost. Its literally targeting new players.

By all means, bring that back. It is more OP than a boost is.

  • RaF would allow me to blitz through 1-60,
  • Works on all of my characters, not just one time.
  • Works across my account, so any realm.
  • Is a, level 2 characters, get one free system (every 2 levels I get, mean I earn a free level to give to any character on my account).
  • Give me a free mount (2-seater option available)
  • Allows me to link up to 10 accounts together
  • Stacks with rested XP (combine rested, reduced XP from TBC and RaF and you are not experiencing Classic).
  • Costs nothing extra, just 90 days of game time purchased which was going to be paid anyways.

So yeah, bring that back. You think that Boosts were a problem, bots will be singing your praise and hang a picture of you on the office wall if Blizzard brings back RaF.

RAF rules can be changed, it doesn’t have to be a copy of the most exploitable versions of it lmao.

But that would not be an authentic TBC experience would it? I mean if we are going to tow the line of “Keep TBC authentic!” then the RaF I described would be TBC authentic.

Boost is already not authentic and it literally invalidates 1-58 which is a part of the TBC experience. At least recruit a friend actually existed in some form in TBC, even if it was altered would be a much better alternative.

Hey Blizzard introduce the worse option that let’s you skip even more content because of AUTHENTICITY.

Yeah the no layers crowd argued the same thing, look what that got them.

Wow does start at level one, but TBC starts at 58, because thats when you can go to outlands… dunno what is difficult to grasp about that.
