people who need the boost also go to weenie hut jr
So why are you paying them money. I mean if they insult your fine sensibilities so much and are such a greedy money grubbing company, why are you still giving them your money?
I cannot take anyone seriously that out of one side of their mouth complains and chastises a company, and on the other side happily hands them $15 a month.

This distorts everything. What about players that ARE NOT WILLING TO PLAY VANILLA but want to play TBC? The boost is their ONLY way to play TBC.
As always, this section distorts the boost, pretending it is a feature for Classic Vanilla players, or players who are happy to play Classic Vanilla. In my opinion, that is a player fantasy, not Blizzard’s business plan.
Also, the boost is 6-year-old SALES feature. So any section that isn’t about the last 6 years is also false and not worth reading. Whew! I just avoided reading thousands of words!
What a bizzarre imagination you have.
The main goal of any company is making money. By law. How can a company have “greed”? It can’t. That only exists somehow in your imagination.
I am happy that Blizzard wanted to make money. That gave me WoW. No want to make money? No WoW.
not willing =/= not able. They are able to play TBC, they just have to level first. Also, TBC is not 58-70. TBC is everything in that version of the game. Thus why the 2 new races start at level 1.
If this goes live, I no longer have a reason to maintain my sub. Careful how many people you tell to just go because before you know it, wow might be on the way out.
It’s going live, pretty much a given at this point.
Do you have any idea how many times in the last 17+ years people have been claiming “X change is going to kill WoW”?
At this point I am relatively certain that the Anti Boost community is the same people who are botters and gold sellers because they will be the only ones that really take a blow from the Blizzard boost, since it will not only be impractical and not cost effective for them, but in addition it will take away the bulk of their customers.

I could, reliably, go to the wow forums at almost any given change/xpac and see “WOW IS DYING” threads galore.
I’ve played path of exiles since Essence league, least a few years ago. The first thread I saw on the PoE forums was how essence was going to ruin poe. Today PoE has tripled if not more its concurrent player base, is thriving, hosting big events and growing. Despite all this, if I go to the forums today, I will bet money I will see that “X is the death of PoE” or “PoE is dead!”
“But it’s dead they cry!”
No it’s dead to you cause you spent too much time propping it up a pedistal and the instant it made a decision you disliked you threw it out.
I didn’t say boosting would kill wow. I said that YOU need to be careful how many people you tell to ‘just quit’ rather than listen to their legitimate criticisms.
No we really don’t. You think there wasn’t those exact people back then too? There was and guess what, most of those threats were empty, as usual. Most of these people making public posts about how they’re gonna quit, I bet I’ll see em all in tbc.
The legitimacy of their concerns is shaky at best, non existent at worst.
I can only speak for myself. I won’t be.
I wrote the OP, you have this one liner as a response. Seems you’re the one who’s
Why is every anti boost post made by a mage?
Bad for business?

Why do you say that?
Because they are still going to play. It’s just a meaningless threat.
How do you know it’s a meaningless threat?
Because we heard the same thing said with every change they did with Classic.
Should have seen the amount of people saying they wouldn’t play when Blizzard told us they would be using phases.
Yeah, a lot of people threatened to quit over those changes. How do you know whether they quit or not?
Because after Classic came out you saw the same people on the forums posting.
Let me put it this way. Will some people quit because of the boost? Sure a few will. But more people are going to be playing because of the Boost then quit because of it.
So what? That would only cover the people who publicly posted that they were quitting, and even then that doesn’t mean they quit.
Correct me if I’m wrong but your positions seems to be this: “Most people who say they will quit the game because of changes never actually do.” What does “most” mean? What percentage? How are you actually demonstrating this position? Data? Statistics?
There is no way to know for sure, but I hard time believing that someone that loves TBC enough to spend time on the forums and after spending the better part of 2 years playing Classic will quit because of a change that has no impact of the 70 content. Disagree with me if you want.
But I’ll say it again, more people are going to play because of the boost then people quit because of it.
