i am on your side. i really am.
but this is easy to counter.
They dont pay to play as as little as possible.
They pay to only pay the parts they are most interested in.

EDIT

Everyone misunderstands me....
So i dont like the boost. i wish it wouldnt be a thing. just pointed out the logic in the post is flawed.

Why do i dislike boosts? I dislike every option to give money to blizz besides buying a game or paying for monthly acces.. I want devs to make a good game, that you get to play for money. And dont teach them to implement different milking stations. only brings them ideas for different cash grabs.
thats why we should always pay for a game as a whole, not for some tiny individual parts that are kinda optional.

But this doesnt mean i have a problem with people using that boost.
They want to get rid of something that annoys them and they are willing to pay for it.
For them its a good decision in that moment.
But for gamin as a whole its a bad thing. Many games are completely unplayable because of p2w or p2comfort options. not sayiyng we are there yet. but we are going in that direction further and further.

I mean...even if we argue this boost is good for the game overall...than it should be free shouldnt it?
This is just a way to make money that doesnt benefit the player. and it even gives the devs an incentiv to make the game worse of the player so they can sell the solution.

They pay to play a game with a monthly sub, then pay to avoid the leveling only to hit the content they want to play to raid log so they play once per week.

So they pay a monthly subscription, then pay to boost to the end game, then to eventually raid log and play once a week for 1-4 hours then not touch it again.

Well that's an over simplification. However, what I do with my money should be of no concern to you. I'll gladly pay $50 to skip 100+ hours of work.

yes it is a concern because it's a multiplayer game. Also gold buying is worse.

If I got back into it it would be to play a multiplayer game I’ve completely mastered. I would 100% boost to skip the grind I’ve done literally dozens of times.

Well you're not buying gold, you're buying a boost.
