WildStar's Next Update Will Sell Max Level Character Boosts

The next update for WildStar will allow players to boost their character to level 50 with a purchase made at the title screen, the Hero Hyper Jump. Players will be able to skip the grind and get right to end game zones and raiding.

Once at max-level you’ll be given a full character loadout of gear and consumables to help you set out on your grand adventure on Nexus. Along with a set of level 50 Assault and Support starting gear, a race-specific mount, and some Platinum spending money, you’ll also get your chosen Path rewards, some Elder Gems, immediate access to housing, and a lot more—everything you need to conquer the wilds of Nexus.

While some keyboard warriors proclaim character boosting as the last cries of a dying game I see it as a fine way to let players catch up to friends or engage with the content they prefer. My favorite part of WildStar so far is dying to bosses, as exemplified by the below video. And depending on the price the Hero Hyper Jump might be worth my mesos as a way to spend more time in dungeons.

Hopefully noobs learn their classes before trying to join complex raids if they choose to boost a character right away. I'll be reading plenty of guides if I decide to max out.

The announcement arrives just before the release of Redmoon Terror, a new raid set to unlock in August.

How do you feel about max level character boosters? Love them? Hate them? Indifferent?
