Why cant boosted characters enter legacy raids?

I just used my shadowlands boost to make a new main for myself.

Went to go start some old content rep-grinds and it said I cant.

Why?

Why do you have the dumbest restrictions?

Just inconvenient, I think it was to thwart off gold farmers or something.

Probably about gold sellers or something equally ridiculous.

It’s working out great…

Isn’t it just a 24 hour wait?

I have no clue I didn’t even think this was a thing.

:smiley:

Yup, it’s just an inconvenience dependent on free time people have. But we will survive. :smile:

It wasn’t for a while but it got really bad and Blizz implemented the change.

Because gold sellers would use stolen credit cards to buy a boost, run old content for gold and AH items and transfer that stuff to another account before the charges were reversed and the character locked.

Blame the gold sellers for these restrictions and the idiots who buy from them.

After 24 hours you can do any of the old content.

If you go to https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/world-of-warcraft-service-level-120-character-boost It clearly states: Boosted characters are unable to enter dungeons and raids from previous expansions for 24 hours.

Indeed! Googling is way too hard for some people.

Not being a jackass is also apparently hard for some people.

Yeah we can blame this on a Google search LOL. Google has no comprehension of time and space

Not necroing threads that are 9 months old for no reason is also apparently hard for some people.

Sorry had no clue necroing was even a thing. Now I think about it, it makes sense.

I can see why they would keep a 24 hour limit, just to prevent people from buying a boosted toon and immediately bypassing the normal lockouts.

It is like a 24 or 48 hour wait. That is all.

Guess blizzard needs to learn how to make inactive threads close.

Nice necro!

This thread is top result for “boosted characters legacy content”

It exists in a place outside of space and time, sustained by the eternal power of the Google.
