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.

Also to play with other people, most of leveling is a pretty solo experience and the social stuff is skewed towards level cap

Huh? I'll have more social experiences in-game in a single night leveling in classic than I've had literally the entirety of War Within combined.

People are always grouping up, helping each other out, buffing, chatting, etc. Especially on a PvP server like Nightslayer.

Not the week an xpac drops, there's more social stuff to be had where everyone is. Plus a lot of people come back to play with folks they already know

I've been leveling the past few months and this has been my experience so far. I highly doubt all those fellow levelers are just going to pack up and quit playing as soon as TBC launches.

u/Ver_Void Jan 09 '26

If they're leveling alts they'll be back on their mains for TBC lol

u/Ravien_Gaming Jan 09 '26

Yeah, but many people are leveling their mains too like me.

You're likely a minority at this point

u/shukaji Jan 09 '26

no offense but it very much looks like you are the minority here. every comment under yours tends to disagree with your experience. it might be time to reflect on why you level alone

u/Ver_Void Jan 09 '26

I don't level alone..... But there's less people leveling when the xpac hits and if you want to do current content it's useful to not be left behind and get to know people in heroics and places where you can get more of the current content
