Gear has a use. For WF raiders its 10x as important as their fame leads to actual real life money.
You paid 2 million for a skin for your drake. It’s not going any faster. At some point won’t you be able to solo the mount? We have 3 expansions quickfire so it won’t be long. I’m not “victim blaming” i’m just trying to understand.
The only thing i think of it you want to have the mount when others don’t to show it off?
Ages ago I paid for a mount boss drop. They summoned me to the boss and only then did I pay the gold.
On my server it went from 9 mil to 4 in just over a week. (For mount)
Not how Mythic boosts work. Boosters have to be unsaved for the bosses for a start, which means that spots are reserved, and to reserve a spot you have to pre-pay a percent of the full amount, as the boosters can only do it once a week per character.
That being said, the top boosters are all very much in communication with each other via discord, and prices do not go from 6mill to 2mill in a week. It’s not how it works.
Scammers don’t get to keep the gold they scam. I’m not sure I understand the duplication.

He means if they somehow manage to launder the gold and then Blizzard would not be able to recoup it and then also create duplicated gold as compensation.

I would presume the gold just wasn’t recoverable then. So nothing to be given back.
But Blizzard don’t give gold back regardless so I guess that’s not an issue.

Can’t say anything other than that i agree with you. But it still hurts that once lapse of judgement can screw you over, when they clearly have a way to fix this.
Especially when i get a response as vague as this:
Upon investigating the situation, we managed to action the other player’s account. Although we won’t be able to reveal the penalty to you for privacy purposes, as it’s concerning another account.
Furthermore, while I understand your point of view about recovering the lost gold (I am really sorry for what happened though), it’s recommended to post it on our forums so that our devs will take a look into it and see what could be done to address similar situations in the future.
And then apparently traded it to some dude who said “Thanks very much! see ya around”
They can trace the gold if they want delete it, their rules also state that they wont return any gold in boost related purchases so the buyer would get nothing in any case.
Boosting services are not supported by Blizzard. Customer support cannot restore any of your losses
What did you not understand from the quoted GM response?
They investigated and confirmed a scam occured, and they cannot return the gold per Developer policy but you could submit a suggestion on the forums or through the ingame suggestion box if you wish to see it changed.

Looks like everything is according blizz policy on the matter then.
Call it an experience what to do not: Give someone a huge amount of your posessions, where theres a chance that you will never see that dude again after giving it to him. A lesson that everyone needs to learn. Some in the hard way, some by following advices.
I myself had to learn that the hard way. Just don’t trust people, even one you know for years when it comes about expensive things.
I only give things to people, that don’t hurt me when i doesn’t get them back. One of my few rules for a life with fewer things that I will never forget and that I still get angry about years later.
Lifes just too short for always been angry, so try to protect yourself better from now on.

Send me 2m and I send you 4m back. Then you are at 0 again. 
I like how you say " I’m not a whale".
It shows what you trully are. 100% sure if there was a Shop for items you would go there and swipe your credit card few times and will say again " I’m not a whale".
That reminds me of the guy on Diablo immortal that paid over 10 000 dollars or so just to whale his out to the top but he started to cry after some time.
I am not a rich player or a whale myself; however, I must be honest: 2 million gold, in today’s terms, is not a big deal as it once used to be. Given this, it barely makes sense from a seller’s perspective to scam someone of 2 million gold - especially considering that boosting is one of the most lucrative activities in the game. This suggests that the person you approached weren’t really the “super active booster” you’re making them out to be. Otherwise, why would they jeopardise their reputation, which is of paramount importance for any seller’s business? To me, it seems that you basically took a gamble and are now fabricating the whole “I didn’t go in blindly; I did my research” narrative to save face. I’m afraid I’m not convinced either, sorry. A lesson learned, I hope.

Ahahaa hilarious. This game is so full of boosted trashcan players buying boosts. I have literally ZERO sympathy for you OP. I hope this happens to each and everyone of you buying boosts. And yes, Blizzard is fully responsible for this, not banning bots in the services channel and enabling the boost economy and community’s with the token.

Even then we saw some players scammed because while waiting in Org or SW some random would come and open a trade window pretending to be from that community to take payment. So they had to start warning players to only trade with someone in the group.
But I agree with the sentiment that a reputable boosting community can be a safeguard from scammers who are just out to fake sell runs.
