The only other really prominent MMO, FFXIV, is also subscribtion based lmao
you are right from one point of view⌠⌠âŚ
however, you are ALSO right from another point of view⌠⌠âŚ
however, i would slightly side with Tish. while Murr is correct, no powerful items can be bought with tokens, tish is correct in that tokens lets you get raw gold which can be used for boosts which can give you very high ilvl for literally NO work done.
lets say its a 430 item. Murr is right, this 430 item is in the game, and available for anyone BUT it takes quite an amount of time played, and actually playing the game to get the item. this is where Tish becomes right where the boostee just site back and does no playing, and gets the 430 item almost instantly.
while the 430 item is in the game, its not meant to be gotten that way.
im just surprised why people have not been able to see theyâre making an obvious 1/3 loss with this. any play time or ANYTHING in the store is at a loss. the only âgainâ is getting raw gold, but this has created whole amounts of problems who dont mind opening their wallets more to blizzard.
i understand 110-120 is so boring, especially for alts. i have about 32 toons that are 110-120. if it was not so boring, i would have 32 toons at 120, but only about 10 of them are 120. the rest are 110-117. but, islands are so fast. while rested, you can gain a level in about 3-4 islands done, and thats with bonus xp ONLY coming from heirlooms and rested. not buffs or potions or raf. they are also so fast now. more normal islands can be soloed by most of the classes at 120, or powerful legion geared toons around 111. i just see it as a waste of money buying boosts to level.
again, this seems a waste as the gear will be useless in a few months. if you have so much gold you have nothing better to do with it is buy boosts, then give it to me 
seriously though, why not just get expensive items? cash shop mounts/pets, game time, BMAH items etc? at least these things will last.
if he can pull his weight enough to farm 10âs, he could have pulled his weight enough while leveling to not be a burden. rogues are sought after atm anyway for M+. its his, and your choice what you do with the money, but again, it seems like just such a waste and feeding blizzard while they let the REAL problem fester.(in your case, boring lvling content, and your friends case, poor gearing system).
in 1 weekend, (fully rested) i was able to take a prot warrior from 115 in full heirlooms, and the rest mop/wod gear, to 120, rank 50~ neck and 402ilvl. im sure the jump from 400-425 would not be hard for someone WANTING to play that toon. as warrior is an alt, i didnât bother beyond 402.

And if he is actually buying boost, then he is gonna be brokenly awesome that noone else is able to become? Pls, WoW cannot be farther from p2w than anything else.
Want to see a p2w game? Checks allods online, thats what i call p2w.
Imagine being mad that trade chat is being used for its intended purpose of, you know, trading.
Surprisingly enough, World of warcraft is the one and only game known to me that boosting is completely acceptable in it. Multiboxing is allowed. Spamming chats are allowed. So many other things too. But donât you dare share your account with your brother who lives in your house or youâll suffer.
I guess anything that gives them money is allowed and anything that doesnât, is prohibited.

I agree with you generally, except about the guy buying his way to 425 quickly. I can understand that quite well. It wouldnât even be a big deal for someone with a bit of gold - 200K-ish for an EP boost, maybe 400K unsaved. If you have, say, 10M+, you wonât miss it. If it was me, Iâd have gone for the level boost first though - BfA levelling is a pig.

In which games multiboxing is not allowed. But in f2p and those games people spam chat about gifts for boosts and what not. Rose tinted goggles are always good.

I remember how we once got a druid tank who had no idea what to do. And after one wipe because he was ¤%&/&%¤ he left and if i remember correctly when i called him out on it he just ignored me. Thisâs why boosting should be banned it ruins m+ And thereâs no way before itâs to late to see whoâs been boosted and whoâs not been boosted. I hope that theyâll soon make an addon to detect it.

On this druids defence (without knowing a thing what really happened) - I am a tank that constantly does 15-16s and some days I am garbage too. Some days I just am so desynced with my brain. In other words - not all failures are because of boosts, but some days players simply do not have it.

Well i think thatâs why it should be banned as it makes people think just because they got boosted that theyâre so good they can even solo any m+ runs.
Well thatâs their own laziness.
Me, I took herb+alch, cook my own food, and hammer the mission table. On the whole it delivers me 5000g/week which I donât need for anything but repairs.
Feeling like the only way to fund your raiding is by selling boosts is being willingly obtuse.
I tried that last in Legion. Was quite fun as blood dk. Did also m+ solo for my freshly dinged alts.
But thatâs another topic.
I do not find much point on boosts other but i do understand why for raid mounts or transmogs, but boosts for modern M+, not sure why. I know for Cmâs people did buy boosts because sets were cool and not all were right class/spec or knew people to assemble a team.
Hands down, after doing over 400 boosts at least, and talking with boosties.
Most people buy boosts because
a. communityâs awful and they hate to pug
b. theyâre busy with real life and cant commit to the game but want to be on more or less relevant level of gameplay.
stop this conspiracies about how people want to get boosted to then âjoin 21321 boost runs thinking theyâre goodâ. no one thinks like that except maybe selected few.
most people buy boosts for upper reason, and raid boosts for curve/mount.

If you canât commit, you should not get the stuff that require you to commit for that.
Example ? M+15, Ahead Of The Curve achievement (sure itâs not hard but for most of random guys who donât invest in the game, it can be), Mythic Gear/Mount, Rank 14 in Classic, Gladiator in Arena.
Reward require effort, and when you get it done, you are proud of you. How can you be proud of you when you get something with zero effort and get boosted by someone else ? You are not proud, you are just a looser ⌠And buy token => get boosted, is zero effort literally.
The only boost that is tolerable in my opinion is leveling boost. Because you can already bypass that with sesame and leveling is not an achievement that you can be proud (it is in Classic but nobody care about that).
That my vision of what WoW should be (it was like that before they introduce WoW Token), and i know itâs not shared by everyone of course.

You likely do M15 quicker than get all the battle pets needed for x boss.
What does cm stand for?
Which means theyâll just go to trade anyway
Its the same issue as with LFG channel, if its not default its not going to be reliable and people will turn to default chats by themselves (general and trade)
My idea was that boost ads were only allowed in the provided boost channel, and if done anywhere else can be reported.
I donât think weâll see a âboostâ channel. Whilst it isnât against the rules to boost, itâs not a supported transaction either. Giving them a boost selling channel could be seen as legitimising the service.
It is a trade, their time for your gold to boost you through whatever content, they are advertising in the right channel.
Iâm not sure theyâd be willing to set up their own player created channel for boosting. In Classic most servers have a âworldâ channel but there is upset every so now and then as the person in control changes all the time and they donât always behave well. I could easily foresee rival sellers booting each other out from time to time.
At present our only option is addons like Badboy but itâs not ideal. It is ironic that the gold token got rid of all the gold selling spam only to be replaced by boosting spam for raids and m+. The only reason the selling is so prolific is because the content is so repeatable.

I agree, but people are going to do it regardless, and itâs usually the first thing I see spammed when I log in every morning.
At least if they just said, okay, you guys can have your own channel but itâs disabled by default, then hopefully the majority will be happy.
