Since Warlords of Draenor has been announced, reports and rumors about Level 90 boost have spread all over the world. Afterwards, Blizzard claimed that as long as one pre-purchases the new expansion, he would get a Level-90 boost at once. Have you thought of that Level 90 boost appears on Patch 5.4.7? Have you estimated for it? Would you like to upgrade your character to level 90 by yourself?
Background
Many players were excited when Blizzard claimed that Level 90 boost would be available for the pre-purchase of Warlords of Draenor, and they showed their expectation for it. However, to everyone astonishment, it appeared up on Patch 5.4.7 on February 18, 2014, but few minutes later, it was removed from the online shop. Besides, it was priced at $60.
Because this price was removed as soon as possible, it may be just a test price. Moreover, the pre-orders of Warlords of Draenor are still not given, so the price of Level 90 boost would not change temporarily.
Comparison between the test price and the real price to boost by oneself
$60 is for many players really expensive to pay for Level 90 boost, and this price is much higher than many players expect.
Nevertheless, some people have reckoned up the cost to upgrade the character by oneself. At first, players have to purchase all CD Keys of all World of Warcraft expansions, including Mist of Pandaria, Cataclysm and previous expansions of Cataclysm ifthey want to join in the game. And these CD Keys total $39.98. Besides, players must pay $14.99 for Blizzard every month, and it will spend about 5 months to boost level 90 by oneself. Thus, players may pay $114.93 to upgrade the character by their own. From this data, it seems that it is more economical to purchase level 90 boosts than boosting by oneself.
Personal opinions
Although it is a real shortcut to upgrade a character with level 90 boosts, it is hard to meet the needs of all players. First, as for many players, $60 for a level-90 boost is really expensive compared with other items in the in-game store. Second, players may miss many game play experiences and many interesting stories if they choose the level-90 boosts. After all, the essence of playing game is entertainment and game experiences similar with the reality. If all players use kinds of boosts to conquer World of Warcraft, what is the meaning of playing game? Finally, since the new expansion is still not released, no one knows how much a level-90 boost value on hell. Whether is it lower than the test price or not?
Opportunities are always for those who are ready. No matter how much a boost is in Warlords of Draenor, players should be two-pronged for the new expansion, one is to wait for level-90 boosts with a lower price; another is to collect enough gold to fight by their own.
