youre very ignorant about pvp and arena here. comparing leveling to getting glad is such a wrong comparison, i dont even know how to respond to that.
i would agree with you, if we werent at the end of classic. if they offered the boost 1 year ago, i would be very much against it as well.
again, i dont know how you can hold the game you are defending in so low regard, that you must compare the difficulty of leveling to the difficulty of doing its endgame content.
leveling IS and integral part of the game, but only for "relevant" content. right now, the vanilla leveling content is not "relevant" for me. been there, done that. 15 years ago and 2 years ago. thats where i draw the line.
