    here is whats going to happen:

    1. Blizzard will NEVER allow a belf/draen boost
    2. They WILL allow you to pay for race change to belf/draen
    3. This means tons of people will pay for a BOOST AND RACE CHANGE
    4. Double money for blizzard, ez gg no re

    that just means you barely play lmfao

    60-70 was done in a day by some, 3 days by a lot, and a week by tons.

    Back your numbers up - because this just isnt backed up by what i see in game AT ALL.

    In a day by less than 1%, 3 days by absolutely hardcore no lifers, and a week by a few. You are GROSSLY exaggerating the number of people who leveled in a week or less - if i was going to guess, which is what you have done, i would say less than 10%, maybe even less than 5% of the players who entered the portal made it to 70 in the first week.

    Shit ton of blood elf paladins and other classes 1st day on hfp. I personally leveld a blood elf hunter in with 2 1/2 days played not buying dungeon boosts, just Zygor i pirated somewhere in google.

    thats why i've mentionend later, that im sure the one-boost-per-account policy will be dropped at the same time as belf/draenei boosts will be allowed

    AT LATEST you can boost your Belf/draenei with wotlk-classic launch (which will again include a, for the time, one time lvl 68 boost)

    Just because you do not see the reason why this decision was made, does not mean it is arbitrary.

    I mean I'm glad they're doing it, but you've seen the change coming to the BG ques right? No way you're gullible enough to actually believe what you wrote here.

    There is so much wrong with this argument.
    WoW TBC is one out of millions of games. If a 150-200 hr leveling experience is too much for you, well then, you should play a different game.

    I really don't get why Blizzard are catering towards people like you. There is nothing wrong with your approach, but well, it just does not fit with TBC. This is the classic version of an old game, for people that want to play that game. I see the reason for some changes. Like layering, because the player count was rising back in the day, and now it is declinigh throughout the expac. But the boost devalues certain aspects of the game drastically.

    I am also not playing Sims and complain about that it is not more like WC3.

    Considering it took me the 5 days before TBCC released to do 1 - 60, and then another 5 to do 60 - 70 I would say your experience isn't everyone's.

    Just leveled my 2nd draenei shaman to 60, took me 2 days 8 hours played ingame over 10 real days. Doesnt seem that long. Compared to classic this level time is a joke.

    Does it require you to use real money to queue up? No? Then what’s the problem? Also when you compare that retail TBC had millions of accounts while classic as 200,000+ players? Those kind of changes are acceptable. But original point were QoL changes where you have to use money is where I say no.

    Is there a free boost or is it just one per account? Just keep reading about people that have "already used theirs".

    No. You want to play the game? Start from level 1.

    Yeah, well I don't believe the NoChanges crowd and their refusal for quality of life changes. People use addons to do stuff that Blizzard later implemented in the game.

    Just look at how almost everybody uses Questie, If Blizzard added that feature to classic everybody would lose their minds.

    Bulletin Board addon? YES! Blizzard adding a lobby for LFG? TtHa'ts AGaiNsT tHe SpiRiT of KlaZik

    naaaah

    And 1-60 is basically a solo game at this point. Good luck trying to find a group for anything. The only thing that the boost devalues is the ego of people that want to thump their chests and think that they are better because they went through a time sink and that everybody should suffer the same.

    the guy casually says he leveled 2d 8h played in 10 days, like 6 hours a day is normal behavior or something

    TBC had an lfg-esque feature, Blizzard originally stated they just wanted to use the modern LFG feature, which has not no real resistance as far as i recall.
    Then Blizzard for some reason decided to not implement anything,

    I find it hilarious that you are unable to connect the dots here.
