			So im now at 2x 50s one warrior that i raid GA on and a SS that's not even attuned. And i just want to quit the game every time i try to level a new, WoW did it right with giving free boosts to max level and wildstar needs to learn yet another thing from them , it was fun to level up 1-50 the first time. i loved the whole farside thingy but now i hate it. Please dont make me have to grind yet another character to 50 just so i can sit afk near AH. I would pay good CREDD for instant 50 but make it unlock after you have reached 50. ! PLEASE 	
----
			
free boosts did ruin the endgame for me in wow (amongst alot of other stuff), because i liked to pug and ppl did know jackshit about their class or how to play it. i could say "luckily" wow is so damn sodding easy, that carrying those ppl was possible, but it really was just sad, if you think about it.
 
leveling a class is part of learning that class. an important part.
 
also if your endgoal for a lvl50 char is to sit afk at the ah, then you might want to reevaluate your approach to play mmos.
 
tho there are other things that do not need repeating. the GA attunement should unlock an accountwide archivement that allows you to skip worldbosses and other trivial stuff.
also to some degree ability and amp points should be accountwide imo... having to farm elder gems for ~45 weeks per char is over the top for ppl who enjoy playing multiple classes parallel.
 
@cfstatic: similar was given on MoP and they nerfed the XP needed to become high level by so much, that you could be done in a VERY short time.

Am I missing something? Didn't WoW go something like 10 years before offering instant 90, and only to reel people back in for the new expansion? Refer a friend made it easier, sure. And iirc there was some level boosting mechanics as well(and you had to level with the person boosting you, and there was a limit to the amount of levels), but they never out-right offered instant-max level until just recently.
 
...Why would Carbine have to learn anything from that? The refer-a-friend system might not be bad, especially considering the population issues, but outright buying level 50? I'm pretty much 100% against that at this point in the games lifetime.

In Madda's book, if you're paying money for an instant max level character, you're just as casual as the people in Runescape. That and you've paid full price for 1/4th of the game's experience now.
 
On Topic: Madda agrees WoW did a lot of things right. Like going back on their word to make heroics be hard from Cata, having nice gold sinks that felt worthwhile, that Black Market AH in Pandaria that was pretty neat, etc.

lmao
 
Of all the ridiculous things people ask for on these forums, this definitely ranks towards the top.

In my humble opinion "instant max level boosts" have to be the stupidest thing ever made since the cooking plate made for blind people with a red light indicator to see if its on.
 
*edit* The only idea I could get behind is having a small XP boost unlocked after you hit level 50 once.	
----
			
if you burn so fast through content, that you are able to raid on one char and have another one on max and yet are about to want to level another char to 50... 3 months after lunch.
 
by that pace you would have demanded maxlevel boosts on wow before even maraudon was lunched....
 
you might want to take a step back and look at the issue here. you consume content multiple times faster than it can be created, think that apart from raiding the endgame is about being afk and yet you want to have another char on 50.
not meant in an offensive but helpful manner: dude, you have an addiction going on there. take a break from pc games (i dont mean to quit wildstar, because wildstar is awesome). i think that would be healthy for you.
 
edit: wow, did read what you wrote as i was typing my own post...
 
you level a char in 3 days and call ppl who play 2 hours a day "noob".
 
forget my advice, you are gone already and clearly already have given up on life.	
----
			
Wildstar needs to be more alt friendly, but full boosts are not the way to go.
The absolute maximum I could get behind would be a skip to around level 25.
 
Enough to go past the basics that every player with a capped main already knows (and past Whitevale... <_<), also enough leveling left to get accustomed to the new class.
 
I can understand people arguing against even that much, but it's a compromise I'd be able to accept.

unless you are a casual noob that plays 2hours a day.

someone complains about a 3 day grind to max level.... 3 days.... and the OP wants insta 50's...within a couple months of game launch.
 
for myself, and anyone else that finds this incredulous OP, I apologize. I'll be honest, I cannot express anything except a vehement NO to an idea like this. one, CREDD cannot buy you levels, its game time. and second, WoW went years without boosting any characters to max level. so I am guessing you only started playing that recently.
 
I cannot see any reason for boosted max level characters in any game that hasnt even been out for 3 full months.	
----
			
I disagree completely with being able to buy boosted characters.
 
I believe the real solution is to make the genesis key an account item, not a character one.  Go through attunement ONCE, and not have to do it again.

I'm so glad I'm not an altaholic. For those that do enjoy it more power to you but I have  never seen the point of doing the same content over again with different  abilities. If I had to make one to use as a mule I would but that's it. But then again I never replay games either. Just me I guess.
 
I had a bad experience in a Guild with that, everybody was playing on their alts instead of helping other guildies to level cap and running end game stuff. (man did that *cupcake* me off).

			did level a spellslinger with 2% account buff and xp flasks to 50 in under 2 days. had some afk time in it and 48-49 was only pvp because i ran out of quests. lvling in wildstar is extremly fast.

I don't agree with max level boosts, but 3 days (I'm assuming you're talking about hours total) is easily a few weeks to a month of leveling for the people that don't poopsock. There does need to be a reward system that lets you alt faster after capping at least one, maybe 10-15% XP boost per 50 you have at cap.

Personally I'm less of an altaholic, and more of a I have to find a character race/class combo I "feel" so I make a bajillion characters level them to 20ish... delete reroll trying new combos. But once I find one. I don't make a serious alt (I'll have a few that I'll putz around on here and there but not seriously level.) again until something new can grab me  even more (usually this requires a new class/race to be released.)
----
			I tend to make a lot of alts in games with my friend as we like variation, and think the trip is more important than the end game content	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
no, I mean people were capping within headstart. someone further up said it took them 3 days to get to cap.
 
xp in this game isnt exactly hard to get if thats even possible
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, that's take time off work + loaded up on food + case of redbull + pissing in a bottle + no sleep + a high level of skill from playing many other MMOs. Using that as anything even approaching a benchmark for ease of leveling is laughable.

			Wildstar is a long way from needing to help people through 90 levels of ghost town. that said wildstar could do with a  good trimming of the fat, wildstar honestly managed to only pull from the worst parts of its wow experience.( it like hamit nessingways great grandson is the lead quest designer)	
----
			I honestly don't mind leveling my alts, I find it fun. However I definitely think they need to implement a way to gain zone rep without questing. At this point if someone wants to level through PVP but also want to take advantage of the zone rep vendors they still need to finish all (or next to all) of the zone quests to get beloved. You're essentially doing the same work twice since those quests also would have leveled the character. It kinda sucks that you're pigeon-holed into leveling only one way, since I can definitely understand getting tired or bored of doing the same quests up to 6 times if you're actually interested in getting items for housing or the amps being sold etc. I have 5 alts, my main just hit 50 and all of them are sitting between whitevale and ellevar (except for one in daradune). 5 characters through ellevar just because I have to (and because I find it faster than daradune) is really boring lol.

			I'd be ok with this as long as it were optional. I enjoying leveling though I know I'm a rarity in that respect.	
----
			WTS 'Easy Buttons' 500 Plat.. pst.	
----
			It gives such a lazyness trying to lv up an alt since im a completionist.	
----
			Instant 50's? NO.  Toggleable account wide 1-49 10-20% XP buff per 50? Yes please.	
----
			I dont care much for pay$$ for lvl cap boosts, but I do wish they would implement an hierloom (experience buff) type gear, you could farm with some dungeon currency or something like that. I think it would make ppl want to run vets, and it would help lvling alts.	
----
			Instant 50s would cause the nightmare of waves of players that have no idea on what their class does. However leveing alts is also a nightmare in its own right. Not only do you need to do the same 1-50 dance that you did before but once you get to 50 you need to catch up in attunement and elder gems. and along with what YukeraYasha said, anything that requires an alternate gearset (pvp/support) is simply not worth the effort (in my oppinion).

-one of the guys bought an instant 90 monk, and they found that monk healing was so complex that they lost interest in a few days and ended up buying another instant 90

Ahahahaha, JUST as planned! Blizzard are fricking geniuses. 
At making money.
And morons play right into their hands. Ridiculous and depressing.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
What's even more depressing? that person wasnt the only one that bought a toon couldnt play it for whatever reason and went and bought another.  There were 5 maybe 6 people in that 300 person guild that i knew of for sure that bought multiple 90's.  And i'm not talking about just one extra 90, some of them bought 2, 3 or 4 other 90's.
----
			
Free boosts don't ruin anything for anyone. That's just dumb. This is especially true in Wildstar with it's ridiculous attunement process. 
 
That said, WoW allowed boosts to 90 in anticipation of a new expac with a level cap of 100. WoW is an endgame rich game. They recognized that staring at 100 from level one would be daunting to new players. They also know that the leveling process in WoW is not the primary part of the experience. They did it right by allowing people to buy 90s. 
 
Here, if you buy a level 50, then what are you going to do? Endgame is boring for alts. Enjoy the leveling because that's all you really got.	
----
			Why are people comparing Wildstar after two months to WoW after TEN YEARS?  And how would 'free' level 50's help you again?  By giving you immediate access to level 50 content, fabkits, etc.?  Go back to WoW, please.  They'll be more than happy to take your money for giving you stuff you don't really need and will just end up complaining about once you get it anyway.
