The entire setup of your original post implies retail is easy by comparing “retail light” as you call it to it, especially by the implication that the end game is somehow easier just by making getting to it less tedious. So it sounds like your entire point was vague and unclear
The sad part is much of that toxicity comes from anti-boosters directing their anger at people who boosted. I’m always amused when I see someone talk about how retail stuff ruined the social and tight-knit community of Classic and then in the very next breath talk down to boosters without even a hint of irony
Retail is nothing but end game, said that too. Uhhh Both can be true? Classic raids are easy, and this is nothing but end game?
What am I even doing responding, this is always such a waste of time, always one guy who will respond for days over something so stupid
I still don’t get what point you’re trying to make. You seem to be saying that the game is easier just because there’s less focus on leveling, which is untrue. Tediousness does not translate to difficulty
Then I guess you’ll never understand sorry
Did I not say level any way you want?
Quite the passive aggressive way to say you don’t have one
You sound like a mage main lol
I’d rather buy a boost than feed those greedy mages, sorry not sorry
Boost enables botters to get started farming resources and dungeons quicker, it empties out the old world more by taking out potential level 1-58 characters, and it wasn’t in original classic. Azeroth needs to be populated on TBC servers even if it’s not classic. Simping for a corporation… I don’t get it. If the boost is SUCH a good thing and it only serves to let people play TBC right away, why isn’t it free? Yeah, because it’s there to make money, not make the game better.
I might. What’s the catch?

Someone’s jelly.
I’ll just put here that I made 1500 in 2-3 hours boosting SM last night. You mad bro?
But guess what, here’s the catch. I leveled this character and my other 4 mages on private servers 1-60. I raided and got my gear, I got full BiS before I even TOUCHED MC or took an invite from a guild. I played northdale (Abra the “kid” cadava? Ring a bell to anyone?) I worked hard for everything my mage has and I’m playing the game as it was intended.
But nope here comes blizzard just swipe your credit card and boom level 58, when that wasn’t a thing in Classic. All those memories leveling 1-58 just gone they are gutting almost HALF of the game for $.
I shall be here to boost all the beautiful blood elf pallys, keep your credit card in your pocket boys.
There were a handful back in the day. The WoW playerbase was still growing, so early in TBC there were some brand new realms that were opened up. I can’t remember how many but it seemed like a few per region.
So if I leveled a character on classic when it launched, but my friends wanted to roll alliance, am I being shamed for boosting instead of starting over? Seems like a logical use of my time to boost a character seeing as leveling a warrior again would be miserable.
You talk about this game likes its your girl friend/only outlet in life. Can’t believe this level of nerd exists.
Did people not min max in bc?
Didnt bc have elitists?
If you dont like those add-ons dont use them. I’m sure its not hard to find people who agree and then group together.
I think a lot of people who are using boosts wont play long.
If you quit arent you just adding to the toxic community?
Retail = end game
Light = ez mode raids
“Tell me more about mythic”
“Leveling makes endgame harder somehow, so retail by extension is easier due to less focus on leveling.”
Don’t pay blizz, pay me. Or a mage on your server. You can make gold easy rn
Not what I said at all
It’s certainly what it sounded like you said but when I asked you to clarify what you meant you got snippy instead
