    Shall I wait for the pre-order to get the allied race auto lvl boost?

    What I mean by the title is, Blizzard said they were considering removing the quests and reps associated with zandalari trolls and friends.
    We all know that pre-ordering an xpack you get a free max lvl char, shall I push this to September to see if I can benefit from it?

    1. we already have the free max lvl, so you can pre-order now and get it, and just wait to use it
    2. yes they confirmed the rep requirement is being removed in SL.
    3. so yes, you can wait till then, unlock the race, and then boost one up..
    OR
    4. right now since rep gains are doubled, and so is exp, you could get them now ,and level them now, and get the armor, which you wouldnt get by boosting.

    When you pre order you get a boost. You can use the boost on any character whenever you choose. You could pre order now and use the boost when the allied races are unlocked. Or wait until they're unlocked and buy it then, it really doesnt matter. Mind you, though rep requirements may be removed, if you want to unlock the Heritage armor you still need to fully level a character of said allied race.

    Don't forget that blizzard really wanted to milk the cow here and decided to include a boost ONLY if you buy the 60 dollar version of the game. The base 40 dollar edition only gives you panda and flip floppity ears death knights.
    The 3 dh spec is increíble.

    Unless you're going for a physical copy...it really doesn't matter if you pre-order now or a day before launch.

    You're half right - they're removing the 'exalted with reputation' requirement, but you will still have to do the associated questlines to unlock them.
    Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.

    Ahh yes, really "milking" the game by (checks notes) having people pay standard game price for an edition with extras in it, while simultaneously charging less than standard for the full base game.

    Nope, rep requirement is GONE
    but you do need to do all the rest, like the questline stuff.

    I remember back when blizz put the boost in the base version of the game and people cried they wanted a cheaper version that had no boost.
    Now here they are allowing you to buy the expac without the boost.

    And the base version does not only give you panda and flip floppity ears death knights... it also gives you fucking shadowlands.

    For pre-ordering it only gives those, so there's really no reason to buy the base game before it's actually coming out.

    yeah?
    Pre-ordering should never have tons of stuff, it should just be there for "make sure you have it, and get a little extra"
    Are you one of those people who think this kinda BS is a good idea?
