it means that buying consumes / boes is a bigger reason to buy gold than boosting an alt. apart from legit players it’s the whales that buy boosts and they spend significantly more at 60 than they do getting a char to 60
I have no clue how you came up with that conclusion. If anything, it was quite the opposite.
Boosting is poison for the game, but for some reason this totally hurt your feelings (or income?).
I’m pretty sure boosting is allowed. And, what surprised me, it’s obvious that loot selling is allowed, you can just visit Dire Maul and read /1 for some time.
That said, pure “GDKP” raids are gone, so at least that worked. May be they are hiding in some forbidden discords or something, I don’t know, but I saw no ads whatsoever.
But advertisements of boosts and other stuff are everywhere. They are in /1, they are in /2, they are in /4, they are in LFG. I wish Blizzard would start acting. The channels become unusable because of it.
Yes, boosting is allowed. What’s more fun tho is there is a discord with a bunch of goldselling boosters who will report you if you try to undercut them, and since you get automatically banned for receiving X amount of reports, they can easily control it.
Selling loot for gold is NOT allowed. The fact people do it with DMT or BRD loot does not make it legal (and I do report it when I see it - with no effect ofc.)
Boosting was never banned. Advertising on channels like LookingForGroup is, however, you should (in my opinion) still be able to advertise on channels that are not in the game by default, such as /world, because that’s a “user made channel” and joining it is optional, I see no reason to police those channels that users join manually, thought the RMT mafia is abusing the system and reporting people on those channels as well, because they know for a fact that people will get banned and no one will answer appeals for months, so by the time a ban/silence is over, you can get a 2nd one without even receiving appeal answer for the first, bot or otherwise.
I also see no issue with boosting, for sure there are people that are unable to grab for example any mining or flower node because of the bots, there are for sure people who are unable to compete for farming spots on open world due to being ganked and camped by large groups of RMT mafia and so on.
If people can only make gold with boosting, and they can do it in away that doesn’t bother anyone, I’d say let them.
Benny still salty about GDKP, loving it.
