    Because they want to? Just because people want to do something fast doesn't mean they don't enjoy doing that something. If a person doesn't enjoy doing anything the game offers then they shouldn't be playing so boosting is irrelevant.

    Don’t play dumb and act like you weren’t talking to me. You’re insulting your own intelligence by even acting like anyone is buying that.

    Boosting is absurd. It feels like 70% of the player base in classic is:

    1- Create an account.

    2- Buy gold with RL money.

    3- Pay for boosts.

    Buying what? That some people enjoy faster leveling? You see it every expansion launch between those who like to level fast and those who like to take their time. I'm not sure why you are getting personally angry over simple facts. Some people just enjoy leveling faster. Some don't enjoy it at all. Some do enjoy it but don't want to repeat it again. It is the same thing with end game boosting. There is much more to it then fun and engaging content as Classic has shown, right? Because if classic content is not fun and engaging then what WoW content has been?

    What with Ion Hazzikostas as the in game director?
    Buy a Heroic Boost and then duel your friend (if you have any) that started a char at the same time but didn't buy a boost. Who will win? Who has the power bought by real life money?
    And yes, buy tokens, sanctioned by Blizzard, and buy carries and BiS items.

    What are you even talking about? You are now moving the goal posts, creating a strawman, and posting nonsense.

    Remember, people who are mediocre or bad at the game have either left a long time ago or avoid group content to avoid the abuse.
    Or they just buy boosts.

    In addition, FFXIV is a story based game, that just so happens to also be an MMO, the creators have their focus on story.

    So FFXIV: An RPG that happens to be an MMO
    WoW: A MMO that used to be an RPG

    Blizzard has said specifically the system does not generate gold and explained how the system works. So you either think their lying or not.

    There's no accounting for conspiracy theories except that most of the time they're wrong.

    If i think a blizzard, a company driven around profits and microtransactions, their own devs selling boost and so on? Yes, it's pretty obvious they generate gold and are lying about it to avoid backlash.
    Do you really think for a second they would lose money if there was no one putting up tokens? That is what everyone believes?
    Then we can agree to disagree
