Using that same logic, lets legalize murder too. I mean, people murder even when its illegal, so why bother, right? Obviously I am exaggerating for comedic effect, but it LITERALLY is the same logic.
Ideally, we'd have some measures taken to prevent, or make difficult, or punish, the sale of characters. This should happen regardless of boosts existing or not.
It's literally NOT the same logic because the absolute value of murder is always negative, whereas the value of a boost is only negative if it's used, by your own words, by someone who is (paraphrasing) not good at their role because they boosted.
One of the main reasons for the decline of WoW is that you would see a level 80 guy, and you wouldn't be sure that he beat Stratholme in his early 50s or whatever.
Therefore a boost isn't a problem as long as the guy playing it is skillful. Which I agree with; I have friends who don't have the wish to do the vanilla leveling again, but who are good and experienced players who would like to relive TBC. They will play by using the boost option and my experience will be all the better for it.
