After 2 weeks of videos, streams, and general angst from the community, the sheer quantity of the same people who threw fits who are now already buying the boosts, already trying to worry about their mount, and who have suddenly flipped the script from “people who buy these are whales,” to, “people who didn’t buy into this are poor,” is…
yeah, TELLING…no wonder Blizz didn’t take us seriously, they knew y’all were 100% all bark.
I don’t think the people who complained on the forums were the targeted audience for the boost. I might boost a character just to upset the forum Karens.
the idea is, Classic was close to millions+ freaking out for 2 weeks…14 full days, about this boost. Bellular freaked out, Asmongold freaked out, Preach freaked out, Taliesin freaked out, the community lost it…
but once it’s available, we what? what’d we do?
Backed out of our initial stance, PROMPTLY bought into this, and started condemning people for NOT buying it. Watched some kid lose in /2 about this, watched the community trash him/her. that’s…wild.
wild, and again…telling…
Y’all?? It’s never a good idea to generalize sir.
we don’t get to scream about how “community” the community is and then ALSO individually-label every player. When a vast, vocal majority creates a scene like that and then immediately backs out like, “who we said what? what we meant was 100% the opposite,” that’s…disgusting to me idk…and attacking others who are shocked that OPE, looks like Classic Andy’s are INDEED classic “lemme flip my ideals” andy’s, is…god it’s offputting…
Gee, it’s almost like content creators are complaining about things they don’t care about in order to make videos.
He talked about the boost on his stream yesterday and said he thinks it shouldn’t exist. But since it does, and nothing he says will change that, he might as well use it. Something about saving himself 200 hours of leveling.
I’m not sure how I feel about it. I want to say that he’s being a hypocrite but on the other hand he’s right that Blizzard would have done it whether he threw a fit or not.
It does send mixed signals.

streamers and creators will do what they do, I don’t like the puppetwork here. All the kids (tbh, they’re adults. let’s be real, these are adults) who highkey shrieked into the void and then lowkey were like, “nyaaaaahahahaha, i cried about whales and am ABOUT TO WHAAAAAALE” like…wait, isn’t this one of the LITERAL reasons we condemn the retail community???
There’s that “We” again…this one isn’t directed towards me is it? Can’t be…
I can’t tell if you’re legitimately trying to troll or of you’ve taken it personally and are half-squatting on some passive bait. plz help me figure this out?
The WoW community is one person!
Jesus this is a dumb post, can you give ONE example of someone on the forum complaining about a boost that bought one? Just one.
I’ve never “trolled” so…but I can help ya out though! You’ve generalized a percentage of the population that ought not be. You’ve also initiated a conversation that also…ought not be. If it hasn’t been made blatantly clear by now that a certain portion of WoW’s player base are infact absurdly hypocritical, astonishingly confrontational, predictably irrational, and outstandingly illogical. To expect anything other than this from that specific group, and at this point to be surprised by this behavior is questionable…so I ask YOU…are you “trolling” here sir?
my guy, i’m just…y’know, i’m over here wondering as a player of both how a fanbase that continuously cries out when they feel “wronged,” will ever remotely get things changed if they immediately alter-course once something’s released?
As far as “generalizing a percentage of the pop,” isn’t /2 in Classic nearly always filled with disdain and hate for players who play both games? Mankrik, Whitemane, Pagle…don’t we legitimately trash retail for it’s “ez mode everyone sukkkkkkks” mentality? Hmmm
“my guy” you still haven’t explained how you know the same people buying boosts were the ones complaining on the forums.
you’re gonna boldfaced sit here and pretend like there aren’t heavy-hitters in /2 daily or literal server-discords? That kinda…y’know…“breadcrumb” if the breadcrumb were identical names etc?
Still doing it I see…hmm, the legitimacy of your thread falters with each comment.
It’s almost like there was 2 sides to the argument.
Yeah so am I . I’m going to go with what I see in GD all the time .
I’m wondering why someone is acting like all the outrage against boosts in Classic TBC in the classic forums is a representation of the majority playing Classic TBC.
I get it that neither Vanilla or TBC had boosts but do you honestly think if they did at the time people wouldn’t have used them . ANother thing is there are a lot of people that liked TBC over Vanilla and want to just get past Classic and into the TBC versioin. TO be honest I think when it comes and the service is available even more will do it for CLassic Wrath.
TO be honest I wasn’t sure if I was and that would be a no. Sorry I am not going to pay the cost of an expansion pack to boost a toon
Once again you haven’t explained how the same ones buying boosts are the people in here.
If your complaint is with people in trade or discord then maybe your outrage would be better in those 2 places.
I’m literally doing this LMAO
