thats 10 levels vs 70 levels
That’s 12 levels of what players on a TBC server want, instead of 58 levels of drudgery before they can get to the enjoyable part.
Stop thinking about the bleeding edge only, and consider all the people who’ll be turned away because they don’t want to go through the Vanilla grind first.
That’s why 58 starters (of any kind) exist.
If Blizzard didn’t provide it, bot services would step in anyway.
or their guildies or a friendly player in the community,. i know what you’re saying but cutting out the first 60 levels, shortens the game’s playability by alot. heck i’d buy a boost if they sold them but i notice it deprived people of a full gaming experience. for example, people camping shatt on their flying mounts within just a couple weeks of launch.

What you’re saying is “I don’t believe that TBC has enough content”, which clearly indicates you aren’t one of those people who wants a TBC server, because it definitely does.
Stop trying to be the WoW Nanny, and decide for yourself what you want to do. You’re not our parent, quit trying.
It’s the epitome of “You think you do, but you don’t.” from a player.
i think it has plenty of content that many people never do, such as the 20+ reps. wow nanny? hmmm, maybe, i am an old granny. wow granny? anyway, i just thought about the whole picture, such as draenei and blood elf starting zones. those are on azeroth

The whole point of a TBC era server is to play TBC. Unless you’re proposing to do a progressive server through 60 raids into TBC, in which nah, that’s not what anyone wants.
Grinding through 1-58 to get to Outland is not what people are looking for in a TBC server. So they can choose a boost to skip it.
i noticed many are asking for the whole thing, without the store boosts, and including the prepatch with the gates opening after a few days of getting prepatch epics
heres mine

Prepatch is a specific situation and it’s a cool way to start the process, but the people asking for “No Boosts” are the wannabe hardcore players who only want that to “prove” how good they are compared to everyone else. If other people can have boosts, they don’t get to ‘epeen wave’.
It’s not a sustainable model and it’s only for those people who think they have something to prove.
well i’m not hardcore. i couldnt even survive c’thun. lol dang overpowered eyeball
Well, something to prove, or trying to tell everyone what they “should” want. 
well i am a fan of freedom of choice, so if everyone wants store boosts, i’m more than happy to go along with it. i just think it’ll accelerate how fast tourist people get bored cause they dont want to rep grind, nor max out their professions or stay for the long haul. they buy store boost, level grind to bt and march around with their glaives, till they arent unique, proclaim their boredom and march off to some other part of the game
This isn’t how you plan.
What you’re saying is “I need to force people to grind before they get to the stuff they want to play”. When reality is, people simply don’t do it. They either pay a third party to level them, opening them up to scams, or they play something else.
They do. It’s a proven model, because when they introduced them in BC, and in Wrath, they sold like hotcakes. You can’t argue with history.
A tub of popcorn would be more appropriate here, given the continuing drama.
precisely and so why is it we dont have a tbc era? was it because they gave players a shortcut…and they used it?
LOL, no.
It’s the same reason we don’t have it now. Blizzard doesn’t want to splinter the playerbase so much that they’re spending far too much $$ per player.
/sprinkles cheese, takes a handful
i suggested instead of player power, they sell transmog and barbershop toys, then incorporate them into the game world as rare world drops that be sold on the ah. then cosmetics could be added to the shop and game world, like recolors of iconic items. maybe offer new options for barbershop toy such as height modifier, unique markings, tats and so on. and have them drop at any level anywhere in azeroth and outlands
You’ve described TBC Remix. Which, if MoP works is going to be the most likely way people will see TBC as max level in the future.
mop remix is temp content like plunderstorm

You literally just said there is insufficient content to keep people entertained. And there’s no requirement to only have these events for a few weeks if they’re popular.
This is the big point Blizzard is making with MoP though. People want the tourist adventure, then off to something else. That’s what happened in TBC after the first 6 months, and what happened after every patch in Wrath. It’s happened in SoD, and it will happen in Cataclysm.
After the initial wave, tourists go looking for something else. By having short nostalgia fixes, they can attract people back to the Retail game.
