Why do people have an issue with boosting?

I see nothing wrong with it, if I had the money, I’d boost all my characters to max level and get them ready for raids to save time.

They seem to get a lot of hate though why is this?

Some people believe the game should function the way THEY want it to function.

Because people think that their opinion is the holy grail. It’s your money and your time. Do what you want with it.

Same reason why plebs hate stars, they don’t have what they have nor can they do what they do

literally has heart attak

For some it’s from envy.
For others, they see it as social distillation.
For even more, they see it as pay to win.

Because they don’t have the gold to buy boosts nor the skill to sell them.

oooof

Real talk, for PvE it may not be a big deal, but for PvP it’s literal pay to win.

You can be absolute trash at the game but if you’re in 2100 gear you will demolish a player in full Honor or 1400-1600 gear while barely lifting a finger.

The massive PvP iLvl gaps leave little room for outplays in its current state. Right now PvP is a massive gearcheck & win/lose at matchmaking.

Uh actually, I hate to be “THAT” guy but blizzard reduced the item level gap this patch drastically. So you can’t use that excuse anymore, my guy. It’s time to knuckle up and farm that rating. Get that Duelist finally. :slightly_smiling_face: :+1:

Never occured to me that a 4 iLvl difference is considered “drastic.” Math is amazing.

Meanwhile my Rogue is cleaving people down 1 v 3 with blade flurry / killing spree, not because i’m good, but because I have a gear advantage.

Lets say you worked all summer long to earn enough cash to buy a new car. You finally get it and it feels awesome, a real accomplishment. Then your friend pulls up in the same care that his dad bought for him on a whim because he’s loaded with cash. Normally, you should still feel good about the work you put in to get that car but somehow the achievement is diminished.

That’s why people don’t like boosters.

It’s petty, it’s silly, and it’s very human.

I mean, be content that blizzard changed anything at all. They could have basically told you all to go and eat cake. :flushed:

Pretty sure many left to eat cake somewhere else.

I don’t think so. You never quit WoW. WoW quits you.

I don’t like the memes, but the memes like me.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love that they’ve uncapped Conquest & added BoA Conquest loot boxes, but this just “makes the rich richer.”

Problem with PvP right now is it’s extremely unwelcoming to newblood.

Why would someone new to PvP stick around when they get globalled over and over, finally get their full honor/233 set. step into rated, then rinse and repeat against boosters.

Players like me are doing fine, what we’re worried about is the overall health of PvP as a whole. Casual PvP’rs vastly outnumber Rated PvP’rs, if you start killing them off then you also kill our content.

So i’ll probably get roasted for making this statement, but I mean it’s the arena forums so meh.

But that is why you want to push you’re rating as high as you can early in the season. I hit Duelist 2100 about two months ago and now just sitting rating for the rest of the season and just reaping the rewards.

All in how you see things. I personally wouldn’t value my friend’s car the same as the one I worked for, so my feeling of achievement is greater since I did it myself.
