    Funny thing to me is that I see no problem with this feature and I think the price is just fine, but as much as I hate the long and arduous leveling process, I feel like I couldn't enjoy a character that I start playing at 90.

    I probably won't even use the free character boost. But it's not out of some kind of righteous moral protest. It's just a personal gameplay choice.

    Companies love money. Wow, you sir are an economic master.

    Seriously, everyone who's complaining has never bought anything from Games-Workshop. You have to take out bank loans to buy GW models.

    As every other company does. Why shouldnt Blizzard be allowed to earn money?

    It's not like it's forced on you. It's all up to you if you want to pay for the service or not.

    Guys why is there a lvl boost function to begin with :P? It's just a way for Blizzard to get more money out of a subscription based game which is really sad

    $60 is less than a new account assuming you'd need MoP + WoD to access it with preorder.

    Wonder if botters will use this to bypass issues with increased scrutiny of RaF accounts or if blizz will watch these toons as carefully... definitely don't need this causing more waves of gathering bots taking all our resources and then selling them to us...

    Pfft. I'd pay $60 just to avoid levelling from 60-70.

    Not sure why a publicly owned company maximizing profits by charging a premium rate for a premium service is all that surprising.

    How much does it cost to just not have to play the game at all?

    Actually I'm a dick all day everyday so I'm an exception to your rule

    Am I missing something with the posts that are against this? in order to utilize the "free" 90 boost, you need to purchase WoD. In order to purchase WoD on a new account don't you need to have the battle chest, cata, and MoP already on your account? Basically the price they are offering this at is saying "We know that some people will create new accounts in an effort to access 90 boosts, we are just allowing you to skip the steps of buying the previous expacs as well."

    I wasn't really planning on boosting apart from the free one with the expansion, but $60 bucks made 100% sure I never will. I'd rather take the 4 months of game time I could get for that and casually level a character. Plus I get the side benefit of, you know, actually playing the game.

    It's a shame so many people are enabling companies to microtransaction the shit out of everything these days.

    It will likely cost $40 for the SE. You know, like all the expansions.

    It's more than double what it should be. Disgusting.

    I hope you guys aren't whining about the price...you do know they are charging LESS than powerleveling websites services even now! and that's even instant without the wait or the worry that your account might get locked and you have to go through unlocking..etc

    If you think 60$ is too much, then you need to start working on a part-time job at least...sigh...kids.

    Holy crap this seems out of control! I have over $1000 in fees associated with xfers, name/race changes, etc, but even this price sits a little sour with me.

    I expected $50 but $60 is good too.

    You have to understand the reason Blizzard is selling 90s is to prevent people from buying a second copy of WOD to get a 90. Let's examine that cost.

    MOP Battlechest let's say $20
    WOD let's say $40
    Transfer the new 90 to your Main Account, we know that is $25
    Total cost of a 90 $85

    So you see Blizzard is actually offering you a discount. They are taking LESS MONEY to make it more convenient and to avoid artificially inflating WOD sales numbers.

    So any cries of greedy Blizzard are just myopic foolishness.
    @Ghostcrawler:Some advice: [My pet issue] is why there were sub losses is one of the weaker arguments players use. Players don't have that data.
