"saves you some time" is a bit of an understatement, although still accurate i guess.
I know plenty of people who intended to level to 58 during the prepatch, and only got to level 40 or similar. Given how long 50-58 is, they were only half way if they were lucky. I just keep coming back to the same thing - those claiming the boost isnt a big deal and you can "easily" level to 58 in game meaning the boost is a non issue, why are we having this discussion then? Why did so many people pay Blizzard to bypass those 58 levels, unless they felt it was acceptable value for money?
