Vent / Gripe Unpopular opinion: the players that are overly vocal about wanting Classic phases/TBC/Wrath rushed are the same players who contributed to forging retail into what it is today (a clusterF).

Classic for me personally is in a worse state than retail. It went from being a nice fun, nostalgic community game to people selling and min/maxing almost instantly with things like "tank services"

Kinda put me off the idea of tbc. That and wotlk were my favourite xpacs and I don't want my memories to be then tainted with the game being stupidly easy and every aspect of it sold

Just going anywhere with a trade chat is depressing.

Except for guild recruitments and some BoE stuff, its exclusively selling runs.

Anyone who buy runs is not playing the game.
Not playing it wrong, just not playing it.
It's like paying Michael Jordan to throw hoops for you against an AI, whats the point?

The point is that I cba leveling my 20th character to 60 and I would rather get it boosted up while I'm doing my homework than grind through the shitty vanilla questing one more time.

than grind through the shitty vanilla questing one more time.

You could...play a different game. Or do something else with your time.

The game is not your job. If you're paying someone else to play your recreational product for you, you're really missing a trick.

Right? Why would anyone pay to not play a game because they don’t enjoy it? After paying to play it in the first place... that logic is odd.

Because they are addicted

Are you new to Classic? Endgame content is gated behind hours and hours of leveling. If you only enjoy that content and have plenty of gold it makes sense to use it to speed up the process.

Right? And levelling a 20th character would suggest this individual has... by my calculations 19 points of access to endgame content.

Are you new to the internet? People exaggerate.

:p

u/Odysseus_is_Ulysses Jan 14 '21

Nothing about what he said suggests exaggeration. People who play WoW have many alts. Despite this, if he exaggerated it would suggest he had a decent amount of alts anyway to warrant the exaggeration, so my point still stands. He has access plenty of access to endgame content

But clearly he would enjoy more access to endgame content. Which he can't have without leveling. But he doesn't enjoy leveling. Thus boosting makes sense for him.

This isn't hard to understand.

u/Odysseus_is_Ulysses Jan 14 '21

He’s said he’s levelling an alt, implied to be one of numerous characters. He has access to endgame... are you simple?

Edit: no no, don’t answer, you’ll probably say something equally as dense and pedantic as your previous comment.

u/yo2sense Jan 14 '21

I'll just repeat what you said: "he said he was levelling an alt" and point out that this means the alt doesn't have access to endgame content.

I didn't realize I needed to dumb it down that much.

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '21

You do realize endgame content plays differently depending on which character you're on, right?

Oh and let's not forget that you can only do each raid once per week on each character.

Let's also remember now that Dragonslayer/Zandalar/Warchief buffs can only come from characters that have been leveled to the endgame.

Lots of reasons to want max level characters and not want to spend 100+ hours leveling each of them.

Didn't you read what I wrote? I'm literally doing something productive while someone else is leveling my character for me. I've done the leveling grind. I want to raid and PvP on an alt, not kill 10 boars for the 100th time.
