To the whole anti boosting crowd saying, “if you don’t have time to engage with the game (if you don’t play the way I play) then go play something else”, why don’t you understand that people want to play the game differently than you and they want to play classic+. People enjoy raiding, people enjoy ...

I personally have no problem with enabling 2x leveling speed for your first character. I’m all for things that allow the game to respect your time. However given all the comments from the devs about “skipping content”, “boosting being too fast”, etc. I’m not sure they would go for it.

In light of all the discussion around boosting and mob tagging, it’s clear that a lot of people in the community want a faster way to level alts.

My proposal is that once you get a character to level 60, when making a new character on the same account you can enable 2x leveling which would stack ...

I like the idea of opt in 2x xp on the current pve server ONLY AFTER you’ve level a character to 60 on the same account. Something you need to select at character creation.

That or revert the instance boosting method.

You as the server owner have the opportunity to call that an intended mechanic ...

Ok Kestrel, hear me out, we were discussion in the poll thread whether instance dropping group is an exploit or not. I’d argue that it’s essentially the same as mob tagging in the open world.

The way it worked is the alt must get the tag on the mob before the level 60 hits it at all. After which ...

I agree instance boosting is less intrusive for players, it also was only viable via an exploit to drop group before mobs die. Exploiting is banned in the rules the same as it was on turtle.


I think we disagree on it being an exploit. I see it as a game mechanic given it was part of ...

I see no reason to allow open world boosting and change the way instance based boosting works as is. It’s less obtrusive to other players and still fast for leveling alts. Please allow both

Allowing mob tagging is a good start but revert the group dropping mechanic. Do you not think if turtle wanted to patch out this mechanic they would have? The xp reduction in group with a 60 had always been in the game and is a mechanic. So is group dropping. Calling it an exploit is misleadin ...

I'm not a huge fan of this change. I was an avid booster for my own second or third level 60 characters. As someone who has little time to play, i find it more enjoyable to experience a power fantasy on my main while leveling a utility character for a raid that my guild might be lacking than to ...

I think boosting needs to be formally defined if it is going to be forbidden. Can you dualbox two characters to 60 since dualboxing is allowed in the rules? Is that boosting the second character? What if you're lasher farming a paladin to 60 and dualbox another toon in DME? Neither character is ...
