Character Level Boost to 90 priced at $60

Ummmm.... what exactly is wrong with the price? 60 dollars seems fair. If you don't like the price, go level your character then and don't buy a boost.

Lol, that is...well at least I'm not worried about WoW becoming a pay to win game anymore.

I was expecting it to be around $40, this price seems a little high imho - charging equivalent to a brand new game is pretty off Blizzard. Still, it's a luxury for those wanting to see new content with a new char fast. Leveling is very fast at the moment anyway.

I think they'll sell old legendaries next, anything thats not current will be for sale at some point.

Blizzard being like: "nom nom nom, moneyz moneyz moneyz"

60$ is or enough or not high enough... cant figure that out yet.

Hey I was right $60 right on the dot.

Now when they make new classes and people use the RoAF they only have to pay $60 to get to 90 and get free levels build up.

Lets look at what they currently offer:

Change Realm: $25.00
Change Faction: $30.00
Change Race in faction: $25.00
Appearance change: $15.00

All of that is $95.00, and you are still at the level you were at when you purchased that. Now, I will admit that I have never done any of these, but if you want to play with a friend on another server who is 90, do you want to pay for them to transfer, you to transfer, or would you make a new toon and pay to get to 90? That is your decision. If you look at the costs though, Realm and Faction transfer costs $55.00, are you willing to pay $5.00 for an insta 90?

Rofl, I was expecting more like $10.

Not expensive enough. Should be like $100. It should also flag your character for some sort of training, maybe proving grounds or something. Only pre-formed group actions possible until you can hit like silver or gold on a role.

Good thing I already got all classes at 86+, not gonna need to spend that amount of money for another boost after the free one. Think I'd rather level than pay for a boost if I really do find the need for a 13th char.

So they admit the leveling process sucks, and that they are not willing to improve it or shorten it, by introducing a way to pay away boredom. Only 60 bucks folks. I will never understand Blizzard doing this. Though it somewhat makes sense due to the amount of money they've taken from people wanting to move from population fluctuation on servers. Blizzard is simply dirty.

Or they will ruin them and make more money.

Either way i'm satisfied. It could be a disaster if the price was very cheap

With what data do you make this claim? Are you sure it will discourage people from using it on all their characters? Because I just read a comment saying he will surely use it on 2-3 characters at $60 a piece ASAP. And as far as I know, the amount of money someone is ready to put in the game isn't an indication of his skills and ability to learn a new class. So free or not, a character boost will add max level characters, and I would assume that the skill ratio of these players will be the same as old toons.

Now, I guess that if it would be free, it would destroy the 1-90 content (make the whole world empty for good). But I don't think it would change anything else. The game is 10 years old and there are people who play since TBC that still suck balls, others that started in MoP and are on top. Remember that the 90 boost is meant to be for the next expansion where you will still need to level 90 to 100, so good players will have time to adapt, learn, and become good, bad players will remain bad, putting a high price on a boost won't affect their skills all of the sudden.

They have a financial analysis team that put the price up there, so for the profit, it's probably the best price point. For the respect they will get from their playerbase, not so much.

And full raid clears after that! Those greedy bastards!

no way in hell would I pay $60 to bump a toon to level 90, bad enough that the leveling process is so fast now you barely learn to play your class. I have a toon of every class so I can't see needing to use this service anyway.

Price is perfectly acceptable. It discourages people from dropping the equivalent of 4 months of subscription to get a level 90 when it doesn't even take 2 weeks to get from 1-90. It's not even a P2W sort of thing because starting at 90 does not teach you how to play your class effectively at all.

IMO let people waste their money on this and when they can't play their brand new 90 they will understand the error of their actions.

How long till they sell gear?

People on here will still be like ''so what, go grind your epix if you don't want to pay for them''. Blizzard can do anything they like because people will follow them like sheep.

These greedy people have some nerve That's what you get for condoning the prices of their other services people, gj.

Blizzard milks their customers at every turn; this price should not be a surprise, coming from them.
