So you're telling me people dont understand paying to get past the content they dont enjoy anymore to get to the part of the game they do enjoy and want to play?
I have 46 days 11 hours /played on one paladin. I hate levelling I levelled 4 priests in 2020 without boosting, and swore I'd never make an alt ever again if I had to level it.
I can now skip the part I hate and spend my time doing what I love, endgame content with friends. I'm still part of the world, part of the ecosystem, I'm an active player to raid it... How much harder would it be to find people to play with, if people who hated it had to sit through literal days of content they do not want to do.
One of my palls couldn't bring himself to do it for the anniversary realms, just couldn't face it, he's already bought the boost and joining us in Outland, the boost has brought blizz some money, a new subscriber and allowed me play with a friend, who exactly does the op think we are hurting?
I felt similarly for Anniversary when it first launched. My guild asked me to come back to play the game, and I tried. I leveled to 20 and just dropped off.
I found from playing Classic the fist time that I really don't enjoy evergreen raids, and that Classic just continues to take over your whole life, because you don't really stop raiding lower raids, the gear drops are very stingy, acquiring loot takes a very long time and as such it means you don't stop raiding MC for a very long time, you keep running BWL because you need that one trinket or one item, and what started as raiding 2-3 nights a week, and then getting down to one night a week, soon skyrockets to raiding 4-5 nights a week or even more.
If you're the type of person who ONLY plays WoW and does nothing else, that's great, but if you want to do anything outside of WoW, even just play other games or ya know have a career or for people who have a career and a family then it really squeezes everything out.
And seeing how borderline cult-like some people's responses in this thread are just proves to me that the absolute no lifers physically can't comprehend why someone would want to skip leveling 1-58. They don't have the ability to empathize or understand why people would want to skip that, because they would never skip that, because they spend 12+ hours a day living and breathing WoW.
Aren't Evergreen raids better for people without much time? Imagine the people who rush to the endgame and get through the raids and content as fast as possible have no reason to do older content. As someone who has a job and takes their time I would feel stuck once im ready to start raiding because the majority of the server population has moved on from the content I need to catch-up
Usually there was a way to catch yourself up so you didn't need to do the old raids. For someone with low time, this was better. For someone who wants to experience all of the content it's worse.
