Guys it's not pay-to-win! I just want to pay to skip 170 hours of leveling!

They would either get a boost in game with real money bought gold (incentivizing bots and gold selling) or not playing at all.

This is obviously bullshit. I'm leveling a horde guy right now and TBC hype must've brought people back because there are in fact people leveling right now. How many more people would be leveling if they didn't think they could just buy a 58? This is silly, a majority of people do not buy gold to boost, they wouldn't even know how.

Like it's so weird how the description of who's going to use boosting just shifts wildly depending on whatever justifies it best, now the casual players who crapped out at level 30 are going to buy gold from China so a wizard can shoot blue lasers from the sky while they idle for hours in a dungeon?
