    Is the character boost too cheap?

    Personally I think so. Should be £50 or whatever the equivalent is in dollars if it is their intent to devalue the idea of buying it and not throwing money at the screen for loads of them. What about you guys? Is it too cheap?

    better yet, remove it, except for each free boost for each new expansion.
    I agree 100 dollars is perfect. Barely anyone would buy it which is their intent. I've already bought 20 so far it's ridiculous.

    R.I.P. Eleccybubb. I will remember the poster you used to be and not the copycat you've become.

    Given past discussions with you, you are obviously a player with decent experience and so I would expect you don't find levelling to be hard.
    There also seems to be a general statement from experienced players that leveling is not hard.
    So I am curious so to why you would buy boosts.

    A discussion of price in isolation isn't much help without understanding why there is the demand.
    Both from the inexperienced who arguably benefit most, to the experienced who benefit least.

    Just make it $1 per level.

    If you're boosting something from 1 to 100, 99 dollars. If you're just trying to finish an alt quickly and go from 90 to 100? 10 bucks.

    Very simple. Deters players from boosting all the way up with no idea how to plat their characters, but gives people trying to come back to the game a quick catch up mechanic that won't cost them much.

    he is lying. trying to sound uber cool, but going way overboard just makes him look like a complete joke. his post history reflects his questionable intentions with thread topics.

    OT: as if it wasnt blatantly obvious, $60 is the upper end of the spectrum that blizz could charge. its cheap enough that some people will buy them, yet not too expensive to get zero return on.

    truly Blizz would make way more money off of this service if they reduced the price. making it available to more people would actually increase their profits here.

    people need to stop with eleccybubb hate
    i dont hate, but its so far overboard that if it is true, its disgusting bragging. which still makes him look foolish. a tryhard attempt at feeling cool. if it floats his boat, fine, but other people buying into the BS is disappointing.

    The price is fine for now! So if they want to change it, I would def say $40-$50 but at least there should be an option for bundle for multiple boosts (Like 2-3 boosts for $100-$120).

    They should just remove it and let people buy increased XP instead. Ofcourse together with the scaling for all outworld content, things would go much faster.
    May the lore be great and the stories interesting. A game without a story, is a game without a soul. Value the lore and it will reward you with fun!

    Don't let yourself be satisfied with what you expect and what you seem as obvious. Ask for something good, surprising and better. Your own standards ends up being other peoples standard.

    I certainly wouldn't be against this, but if the level cap gets updated to 120 next expansion, then it would basically be $1 per level anyways consider that most get to 60 before using the boost for the professions.

    The price is just right. Its expensive enough to stop any frivolous buying.
