No, it isn’t. When I was hospitalized and then housed in a foundation center for cancer patients, I clearly was unable to play and catch up to my dad. He bought me a boost from the store. It didn’t level anything but my character and I still had gear I could upgrade. Please tell me how that ruined or “tarnished” my escape from the cancer in my brain? I’ll wait for you to tell me how I no longer have fun or how it personally doesn’t provide me a getaway.
Please answer my previous questions before we move on to another. We’ll get there, too.
According to a lot of this cesspool they never did.
Everyone has their own escapes, you buying a boost to me means you didn’t level, and it cheapens the leveling experience. All that time I took to level? Yeah, that guy just bypassed it with a few bucks.
It hampers my enjoyment because I’d rather not play with a boostee, nor do I support the practice in the first place.
WoW is a journey, not a race.
You’re not gonna be as good at the game as someone that learned their class and they levelled, and thus, I don’t want such people in my groups anyway.
Legion was notorious because it’s when the boost was first given for free in expansions to rush players to endgame, and tons of newbies came in as a result, hampering the enjoyment of many other players.
As soon as other people are involved, it gets complicated. Stepping on other people’s toes and ruining an experience is easy if it’s not maintained.
For the most part, WoW doesn’t maintain itself, so you’ve got rampantly bad behavior.
Not saying carries are inherently bad, I don’t support them, but the RMT/GDKP stuff kinda is, and the botting ofc. And these all damage the game for those that play normally.
Now you’re singing a different tune. I honestly don’t care what it means to you. It allowed me to explore and feel like I could keep up with my dad, and with WoW being the very first game I played, it kept that magic alive for me. You see it as “cheating” but it does not impact you at all in any way whatsoever.
So… don’t?
It’s whatever we want it to be. You don’t have the right to tell people what their experience is. There are people who enjoy beating others to the finish line.
More “you don’t play how I want you to so you don’t get to play with me,” even though you’ve probably played with people that have boosted and don’t know it. You are aware that people can boost characters just a few levels too, right? They don’t have to go 1-70 and can go 50-70, for example. Just because they bought a boost doesn’t mean they can’t be that good.
I’m sure there were more complaints about the artifact grinds, RNG legendaries and weekly chests than they were boosted characters.
How has my boost directly impacted you? I have been called a great healer many times and do pretty darn well keeping my PvP group up. I guess I ruined all of my groups experiences, huh? Womp womp ):
This is what mods and GMs are for. Automated crap is hardly reliable. This has nothing to do with tokens.
No one wants pay to win. Go to any forums, YouTube video, twitch stream, or news article about the topic and you will see that. Earn you gold playing the game, not with your wallet.
if people want to buy wow token, that is me not being able to play the game i want to play it. because it ruins any competitive integrity and makes the game “who is richest irl” so no, we should ban the people who think this way
The way you want to play the game negatively affects the way I want to play the game, but not vise versa. I wonder which way is better? 4head. Also, it’s not about someone spending 20$ on a token, it’s about the whales spending 20000$ on tokens. Like I mentioned earlier, you clowns can push for the wow token, and hell they might even add it to SoD, but it’s gonna kill the game just like it did WoTLK. If you wanna be rich on dead servers, and partake in GDKPs with other whales go ahead, because then sensible population will quit.
