As far as we know that advertising in LFG or General chat is not allowed for dungeon boosting. I literally report like 20-30 ppl in a day for like a month but nothing happens. Seeing same guy spamming LFG channel everyday. Also i see that they use Group Finder custom section to advertise their boost runs. In short , why Blizzard not doing anything about these boosters ? They obviously doing this for selling gold for real money. It is not hard to check their transaction history or find their multiple accounts.
I started to think that Blizzard do not let ppl help friends at lower dungeons to force them buy 70 boost via real money. I see no difference between boosting 70+ dungeons and old content dungeons.
If you want to check this just look at lfg chat at gehennas server. Half of the messages are about Halls of Stone boosting and the rest of them about GDKP Runs. These players never play the game and doing 24/7 boosting. Gehennas is still locked to new players who wants to play Wotlk content. These boosters just increasing population of server and real players not having a chance to play with their friends or playing at dead servers. I dont want anything extra from Blizzard. Just do what you say in ToS.
I’m just making sure I’m not participating in boosting and gdkp. I’m not one to tell others how to play the game though. The dynamic way this game can be played is what makes me like it.
Not sure what your point is? That he would be reporting 200-300 people if boosting advertisement was against ToS before the grey mob experience changes?
I dont really understand what he is saying but my point was if blizz let these boosters break the rules, ToS means nothing. Other players can also do exploids etc. I dont feel like im playing original wow right now. If it is going to be like private server why we are paying this game ? I am not against blizzard’s grey mob experince thing. If they feel like it is the solution for great gaming experience then they shouldnt let people boost after 70 lvl also. What we experiencing right now is not fair for anyone.
You complain about people who don’t break the rules of the game. Just don’t use their services. It is very primitive to try to ban something for everyone, because it’s you who don’t like it.
You know that if boosting in any form was intended and desirable then Blizz would not crack down on grey mob exp and similar changes to make it harder, right?
Obviously they break the rules. Its not allowed to advertise on LFG or General channel. I dont say ban all boosters. I say ban “who dont obey rules” and “gold sellers”
Yes it’s against the Rules of the game to advertise boost in the LFG channel:
Individuals and guilds selling boost or assistance in raiding, dungeon, or PvP activities for gold is allowed but can only be advertised in-game through the Trade Services chat channel.
We don’t actually have a Trade Services channel so it’s not allowed at all in Classic in public channels. Maybe it’s allowed in Trade I don’t know.
There have been blue posts in the past informing us that offering boost in LFG channel is spam and should be reported as such.
So, why Blizzard not taking any action about it ? Also there are lots of topic about AV bots. Blizz abondon the game itself or what ? We are all having bad experiences like bots in AV or busy chat with all boost advertisements. What is blizzard waiting for ? Do they really care about reports and check them or they just ban automaticly when a character get mass report ?
