Hi,
I think that boosts should be changed to not time down when you’re not in an area to utilize their function. For example, XP-related boosts should pause timers while in the Mists and sPvP zones, while Glory boosts should pause while outside of those same zones.
As they are now, I would never buy a boost because I have a 2-year old who randomly needs whatever small children need, and I might have to step away suddenly for 30 minutes. As it is now I have to log out if I want to step away, rather than a quick 5-minute AFK which would be so much more convenient. Boosts also make it less efficient to alt tab and check the Wiki, or work on a build between PvP matches. If I can’t earn the resource in the area I’m in, it shouldn’t tick down the boost.
