Filter need to filter out the WTS dungeon runs

Community General Discussion

The list of people selling dungeon runs is getting long and longer. I would like to see a filter for this.

If somebody wants to buy a run to boost their ego that it up to them but why do i have to filter through nothing but :slight_smile:

WTS Dungeon run. On offer %15 off…

Correct me if I’m wrong but advertising boost runs in the LFG UI is still not allowed. So what we need isn’t a filter but a simple enforcment of a policy Blizzard made.

With that said I get where you are coming from. The amount of advertisement in-game is just utter madness. Selling boosts in the trade chat is considered kosher but doing the same in the LFG is not.

So if we have to suffer the consequences of a boosted player-base the least Blizzard could do is enforce their own frking rule. If you are selling boost runs keep your crap out of the LFG.

there’s no need for filter because its against rules.

I do wish it wasnt against rules tho, because technically its a “looking for player” or “looking for group” and belongs there as long as boosting stays legal.

Blizzard should really stop with their ostrich approach. They should either try to heavily cramped down the number of boost runs or fully embrace them and give “boosting” a proper way to function.

Designated UI with a fail-safe mechanism the lets you deposit and withdraw gold after a successful boost.

This “I close my eyes” mentality isn’t really working for anybody.

It is against the rules, but they aren’t really doing much to remove the problem IMO. You can report every group listed selling and still it makes no difference.

I’ve been silenced once because of that so I can confirm reports do work but It takes time. I lowkey stopped boosting unless my healer or DPS/Tank are around so they can make a group instead. :joy:

Well that’s reassuring to know. Guess it’s a perception problem.

This is correct, it was introduced a while back.

Just report them if you spot them.

How ever, I’m not entirely sure how effective the report system is and what conditions have to be met before an actual person sees it… IF an actual person does get to see it.

Customize your chat window to filter out /2 entirely.

I mean why would you look at it?
Want to buy something?
Go to the AH.
Want to sell something go the AH.

Problem solved.

This, actually … seems very sensible.

Boosts have moved into the mainstream. It’s no longer just sketchy characters asking you to Skype so they can take your credit card outside of Blizzard’s monitoring, and guilds doing a limited number of gold boosts to fund their next tier progression.

There’s a Discord that functions as a market for WoW services. All, or all that I can see at least, legit by Blizzard’s ToS. Sales for gold only. People have formed themselves into boosting “Communities”. They are no longer tied to realm, thanks to the Token; they all accept gold on all realms, and will eventually cash it in for time or balance. No doubt some will sell the gold or balance on for real money to people who want to buy time or games, but that’s outside this context.

There is also a flourishing gold trading market, like: “WTT 3.2M from Burning Legion to Silvermoon.” Here’s one hot off the press:

LF 10m on kazzak Horde Can give : 10m on ravencrest A/Silvermoon A/Defias Brotherhood A/Sylvanas A/Blackmoore A/Antonidas A Or i can give 7 420 000 on TN against same amount on gold on kazzak

As far as I can see, all these are not only legit, but honest. I’m not seeing complaints about people scamming or renaging. That’s because it’s now a regular business, and reputation matters. For people who are nervous, there are very high reputation middlemen who will hold funds while a deal is completed, for a cut.

It all feels very respectable and safe and open, like any market. None of the offers I can see is going to get anyone into trouble with Blizzard, and since the advertising takes place outside the game, they’re not breaking any chat or LFG rules. It’s really very well-run and pleasant.

If you want to buy or sell a raid boost, or an M+ boost, or a levelling boost, or a rating boost, or a TCG or other very high value item, or an achievement, or trade gold between realms, buy something from another realm’s BMAH, whatever, this is the place to do it.

Just as Blizzard eventually legitimised goldselling, so long as they get their cut, it seems reasonable that they will eventually provide market services as well.

I would have had the opportunity to report every single instance inside the lfg UI. They were all WTS. At the time there was not a WTS
