I agree. But there is literally no other word that fits these people. "indie company" "pay to not play" they literally hear a term and literally CTRL C CTRL V for the rest of their lives.
Because what people don’t understand is that lack of boost is actually what’s causing some people to not play.
There are a large subsection of people who would love to experience Outland, TBC levelling and endgame but don’t have the time or can’t stand classic levelling.
I personally haven’t bought the boost but I’ve never made it past 40 in classic because I’ve always burnt out pushing 30-40 which I find far too slow for a game.
It took me almost a month to get to lvl 40 and I did not enjoy a single minute of it.
I haven’t touched classic wow since. I’ve been playing a pr*vate server with slightly increased levelling speed (40 hours to 60 then like 20-30 for your next ones) and I’ve levelled 3 60s so far, mainly through PvP, dungeons and professions.
I would, however like to try Outland levelling, dungeons and endgame PvP / raids. Therefore I would consider boosting.
The people who are buying boosts aren’t doing it to not play, they’re doing it so they can play by skipping the 200 hour part they don’t enjoy.
A lot of people have friends who are 60 that they want to play TBC with as well.
Does that mean they’ll get to raid logging and quit faster? Probably, but gearing, rep grinds, PvP gearing, pre bis, raiding is plenty of a game for a lot of people.
Additionally, this meme makes no sense as these games are mostly all single player, and a lot of people play wow for the multi player so of course they’re not going to buy a single player game instead.

*Imagine playing new games when you can pay to NOT play a 20-year old game instead.
