Wasn’t it something like “pay to win lol” in the first place?

Right, a 200 hour head start isn't a massive advantage. And someone actually leveling to 58 will have better gear than a full set of blues and somehow like 650 gold for the epic mount skill. On top of having even more gold.

There's two threads.
Because if you had to level from 1 you would go through the works of questing or dungeoning collecting mats and items that would go into the economy that in vanilla are in fact used in TBC too such as enchanting. Right now there's an influx of levelers due to the TBC announcement and it makes the world feel more alive. But it doesn't matter, take your level 58 boost and quit within and month and go back to retail and go ask for more mounts to buy in the shop you snowflake.

Because its not like retail. Vanilla still plays a significant part in TBC.
QFT
Too many have forgotten that Blizz was dead set against gold sellers and leveling services at least through Cata.
Now that Blizz gets the money for those things...suddenly it's just fine.
Blizz is just another corporation anymore...profit first, everything else is secondary. The only thing I'm surprised about is that they waited this long to sell these things in Classic.
Wait:
“This boost will not be usable on Classic Era realms or on the new blood elf or draenei races; in addition, players will be limited to boosting only one character per World of Warcraft account. Further details, including details around pricing and availability, will be announced at a later date.”
It’s a “once in a lifetime and for one char only” boost? If yes, how did this thread reach 20+ pages?
Yes Blizz changed, but I'd argue the community has changed more. For better or for worse is subjective, but just the basic idea of spending money on a game you have already paid for is a widely accepted practice now by players and has been for at least a decade. Gaming is more catered to instant gratification than anything else. Just look at what Classic has become already. Everything from the world buff meta, to ZG boosts, to GDKP is a testament to this.
Whether this is good or bad is entirely subjective, but it doesn't matter, it's just how it is now.
The proper waifu is a wholesome supplement for one's intrinsic need for belonging and purpose.
As I said in the other thread, it’s the usual “I worked for it ages ago, you have too even today” mentality. The boost does not clearly provide ANY advantage in TBC content (that is ALL that matters), they are just mad because someone can skip the leveling tedium they had to bear, even if is ONE time only for account and for only ONE char. I can partially understand it, but at least let’s try to be honest.

The issue is that some posters are offended by the fact that people are gonna be able to skip the leveling rather than the skip costing cash, which is hilarious, what kind of player considers leveling as some kind of mandatory progress towards your character in 2021 lmao, your progression is found on endgame by clearing all the raids and gearing yourself completely so you can say "im done", or pvp also since thats gonna be a thing now, and blizz is giving the option to skip the useless leveling in classic experience that only a tiny fraction of the community cares about, deal with it.
I agree I don't think heroics will be faceroll but I don't think they will be a much trouble. I think vast majority of players were just bad by today standard many were still mouse clickers even in wotlk. You see how fast raids were cleared in Classic. I think premade groups will clear all heroics rather easily with decent cc and marks.
Because so many people are butthurt that another person can optionally choose to boost one character instead of wasting 200+ hours of leveling it "like it was meant to be".
This is one of the biggest problems with the WoW community; everyone cares too much about everyone else, especially when it has absolutely nothing to do with them.
This literally does not affect anyone except the person who chooses to purchase it, yet they will cry foul every chance they get because "they EARNED their level!", not realizing it's a goddamn video game and blizz can quite literally shut the servers off right now and delete all their toons and there would be absolutely nothing they could do about it.
In other words, it's a sad argument against quality of life because some people are so gung ho in ruining everything for everyone else.
Ad advantage to me, atleast in this scenario, would be if people then got boosted with maxed out professions and epic mount (or worst case scenario level 70 with flying/epicflying) a boost to 58 which only lets you skip the out of date content (You cant use it on Draenei and Bloodelf afterall) really isnt an advantage in my eyes.
Exactly. Classic TBC is the point now. Classic WoW as we know it today will be over and no longer relevant unless you choose to play as a Blood Elf or Draenei.
Even so, there will be plenty of players going through the full 1 - 70 experience as you only have one boost, and we all know that people that play Classic like to play alts (for a plethora of reasons).
At this point why they dont just relase BC servers were everyone starts at 58?
Cause then you will have the classic purists outroar cuz they will refuse to start fresh when they spent so much time gearing their character in classic for tbc, despite classic being piss easy, its still time and effort you would be denying by doing a clean tbc wipe.
TBH I perfectly understand why such a one time boost is there for BC. When classic launched, it was about the classic content. When BC launches, its about BC content. The classic world is useless and dead in that part of wow. If people want to experience that, theres classic servers for that.
People wont log into BC thinking "oh wow cant wait to play classic leveling", they are there for BC.
Why people farm classic over and over at this point, I dont understand. Theres really no need in order to stay competetive in BC. Besides, thats a player choice to keep farming in classic just for some kind of advantage in BC.
For most people this wont mean jack shit. If anything, those who boosts miss out on alot of cool zones in classic world
