So a guild that can skip leveling is actually at a disadvantage compared to a guild that can not? Why don't you ask a World First guild what they think about that? xD
But hey man, you are the first one telling me that character level boosting is pay to lose. You do you, I guess.
The rule of thumb is if it takes 24 hours grind to get that, it is "PAY to WIN" !
The actual time can vary by person.
I personally value my time 2 dollars per hour.
This doesn't mean that I will buy the service. I don't want to encourage the greedy of the company.
I simply will not level a character because the service exists. In other words, I don't play this "game".
Nothing good will come out of the "classic server" because it requires lots of grind.
I predict that either not many people play it or Blizzard will sell the boost service.

Well, yes, very strictly and out of context speaking, this is a pay to win mechanic. However, the P2W booster has the upper hand only until finishing a handful of HFP quests. The whatever green/blue/lower tier epic, gear you might've had, will be going down the drain as quickly as with any other xpac as almost every other quest you finish will be shoving new items in your face. View this within any reasonable context, however, and we have absolutely nothing.
Unless of course we're in the quite likely miniscule minority competing over "who's having the best non-dungeon-geared player for early HFP questing." Serious times for those.
why does it matter to you if OTHER people "skip content" lol ? If people wanted to enjoy classic leveling, they would do it. But people like me dont want to levelup for a month in a "re release"...
lvl 58 blues are worthless compared to lvl 58+ GREENS from hellfire peninsula, were we playing the same game ? You'll replace all your gear after a few quests
i'm guessing they'll do these premades during the pre-patch so, you'll have the paladins and shamans getting levelled up, ppl who don't want to pay for a 58 levelling up. but depending on the length of the pre-patch, you could easily get a 58 to 60 and do its professions before the gate opens. if the pre-patch period is 2 weeks or more then you would have enough time to level from 1-60 and do profs to 300 at least gathering deffo. i'm sure there will be many ppl who use a boosted 58 and some of those may even miss the pre-patch and still be 58 when you can go through the dark portal. the boost probably isn't going to make much difference compared to the amount of ppl who will simply choose to level up during that period. those who play through the whole pre-patch should easily be 60 and ready by the end of it.
I think its just not going to matter since there will be some sort of focused effort prior to the gate opening to level toons and paying for a 58 is only going to be worth it if you really just don't have the time to play either at all, or, simply during that levelling rush. since there will most likely be so many groups going it should be a breeze to level up. it'll still take a while ofc but there likely won't be a shortage of groups. the way I see it is its going to be, either you level up a character from 1-60 and just enjoy that for what it is, or buy a boosted 58, get to 60, do your profs and then wait for the gate to open like all the mains will be.

No, it's not pay to win. Paying to win would be buying loot directly from Blizzard. Just because you're too weak to resist buying gold to opt out of joining a guild and clearing the content yourself, does not make the game pay to win. You don't win anything by getting loot anyways, and it's plain as day obvious when someone's boosted themselves through content.. The game cannot be pay2win, when every metric used to determine who's winning at the game easily and instantly rules out people who've been boosted.
If you are still giving them your currency, then thats all they care about. It matters not how much or how many complain. Currency talks, everything else gets ignored.

And Blizzard is ignoring you because you still give them your time and currency.

I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal. -- Note to mods: if you are going to infract me have the decency to post the reason, and expect to hold everyone else to the same standard.

Yes, of course you don't understand. That's why we have this talk.
So Jimmy wants to get WF and gets a boost and starts grinding endgame progression right away. And Bob does not buy the boost he spends time leveling. Now Jimmy is fully geared and progressed through the raid a couple of times and actually got a shot at WF. Meanwhile, Bob is now where Jimmy started. Who is having a better chance at WF? Did Jimmy pay to have a better progression than Bob? Is Jimmy right now actually having a disadvantage compared to Bob? Man, this must be difficult for you.
So then, you believe Jimmy, one of the best players in the world, and others like him, are planning on paying for a character boost, because that is the best possible way to prepare for BC launch? And that endgame progression starts at level 58? And that every single person in the world that does not pay for a character boost is at a disadvantage as compared to Jimmy, because Jimmy paid to win? This sounds like you believe that WF guilds will be paying to boost characters because it is a direct in game advantage over others that don't pay for this boost?
