Players should be rewarded by how much time they put in ONLINE not OFFLINE. I am completely against anything that is rewarded outside of PLAYING the game. A subscription based game should be fair to all subscribed. Yes there are heirlooms and RAF, but those things are free and can be attained by anyone PLAYING the game.
    #1, I've played starting at 80. It wasn't the easiest thing to do, but you pick up the basics pretty damn fast. Especially since there's an in-game simple guide now.

    #2, Why does the number of 90 toons matter? If I have three 90s, that doesn't get me into hardcore guilds any faster (in fact, in my attempts to gear up all three, I'll probably do it even slower.) It doesn't net you an advantage by having an additional 90, because your time gets split up. If I have the same gear as you do, but you have eight more 90s, that doesn't do a THING for you in a fight.

    #3, I actually HATE Micro-transactions for the most part, but this is one thing I don't have a big problem with, if it was tweaked a little.

    This game already has enough people who don't know how to play their class. It doesn't need a bunch of idiots with a lot of disposable income buying level 90s and still having no clue what to do with them.

    It's not that this idea would be particularly bad, it's the principle of the matter. The world already has enough people doing whatever they want just because they have the money to do so.

    You mean how you can get cosmetic gear from the store that could otherwise have come as a reward for raiding or other content?

    Levels for sale, xp potions, boa's many people want these things. What is the point of leveling anymore if everyone just wants to take a shortcut to get to cap? No I do not like this idea, not one bit.

    If leveling is so boring let's just level cap the game.

    Why even play the game than? If that gets implemented than there is no more use of BoA gear. you learn less about your character. In my opinion people who are that lazy are better of playing a private server.

    no, perhaps with lots of gold but not with cash. wow is not a free to play game and should not have such services.


    this system encourages blizzard's cash shop.

    Part of me doesn't care that people make money off your rampant laziness. Part of me doesn't want you to get anything for being that lazy. Not sure whether apathy or contempt is greater.

    How is it pay to win? What are you winning at the end of the day? Time saved?
    High-end guilds use many alts to dominate content by stacking classes that work well with encounters mechanics. That makes it pay to win because it would give them an advantage towards having alts geared out faster at max level. Also, if it's before an expansion it makes no sense for Blizzard to offer such a thing that would get no use in their new expansion for the same reasons.

    It should be quicker each and every time you level a new alternative character. Should the level be instant? Can't say I'd be against it, but the service should be free.

    For new players the idea of buying 3-4 game boxes and getting up 100 levels is so daunting that they go "fuck it" which is a real problem for Blizzard that they have to fix very soon. As a side-effect the leveling of alts (topic of this thread) will also be changed forever.

    The only way I could go for this is if it was limited to once per character so no 1-90 in one day but you could skip an area if you don't like it, no skipping current content, and you must have a max level character already.
    you can't make this shit up

    What was described in the first post isn't pay to win unless you win WoW by hitting 90, and hearing the same damn rhetoric from the first replies is kinda depressing, its like bashing Jaylock is a faster reaction than engaging brain.

    Free lvl 90, pay-to-hit-90, pay for 500% xp buffs, this is not pay to win. Don't be dumbasses. NO ONE* EVER considers WoW "won" or "complete" when they hit level 90; *and for the people who DO, guess they aren't interfering with your game much then, are they.

    Please do'nt try and say "paying to hit lvl 90 is basically the same as paying for full heroic raiding gear derpderp" you just sound like some form of religious zealot.

    First has been pay to be handsome. This would be pay to level. Then could come pay to gold. Pay to gear up. Pay to kill raid. Pay to win an arena match. Bad idea...

    Who the hell would pay that much money for five levels?

    I think each time you hit 90 on a character, it should give all of your other characters a stacking debuff that reduces the amount of experience you get by 9%

    I like the levelling, at least up until Cata... there's quite a selection of different ways you can level (zone-wise etc.)... I might pay for Cata nad Pandaland though

    Why after you leveled 3 toons this games questing just starts getting boring. why would you punish players with multiple alts for no reason.

    You're right except for 2 things.

    1. My name is spelt "God" not "Loucious-sama".
    2. I'm not a man, because man is inherently flawed. I am in fact a being so far beyond your comprehension that archaic constraints like flesh, blood, time and consequently, gender, have no meaning to me.

    Given the amount of useless 90s already who have no idea in the slightest how to play their class yet alone move sometimes definitely not. The only thing I would ask is that Krol's elixer works on 85+. Got eight 90s currently and my Shaman seems to be taking an age to get from 88 to 90 and two elixers xD
