I mean, you could try getting to Shadenox level in Wow since you’re both playing that game already, maybe you can learn something there.

by level you mean corruption gear right?
Well, feel free to get a versa set and proceed to my rating, which is btw not even close to the highest level.
Really not sure how you interpret “advance upwards” or “You’re supposed to start small and slowly pick up the pace” then.
Well, for most people learning something new you will start off slow and then continue to repeat the action until it comes without needing to think about it, and then you move toward higher challenges.
So no, you won’t be identifying any weak links and learn anything if you are unexperienced.
Really doesn’t matter what it is, it goes for everything. 10 000 hours and all that if you want to become really good at something. I can’t even imagine the amount of games some tournament players have done in order to get to where they are at.

I mean, there’s inexperienced and inexperienced. If you’ve never played wow ever then of course. If you’re a regular 2k and you don’t learn it’s that you don’t want to learn or don’t pay attention, because even though 2k is far from insane you still played the game a bit to get there regularly.
You won’t get as good to R1s by fighting them when you are far from their level. But you do have a fighting chance if you try to understand what’s happening in a boost !
So should I assume you just ignored my whole comment and went on to write something for your own argument?
Picking up the pace and advancing upwards is clearly peaked at players that are your own skill level as already said by Regi. I’m assuming that starting slow then means to start out with enemies that are worse than you.
But in any case, OP is a 2k player, he can still gain something from playing against a R1 booster team, please quit talking about complete beginners that don’t even know about DRs.
I just think people should get a real job

One reason (among many) I’ve never been fond of Rated Arena, is because of boosting, smurfing, hacking, win-trading, alts, etc…
It all piles up and makes for a ladder experience where the integrity of the system has all but evaporated.
When you queue up, you’re technically meant to be matched against an equal opponent.
But are you?
It’s an issue that holds true for many other games as well.
In my youth I used to play chess at competitive local region level and over the years I climbed in rating from 1000 to 1700. And in chess the rating level did correlate fairly well with how good a player was.
I rarely feel like video games manage to create something that works well in a similar manner, even though video games tend to adopt the same rating system that chess makes use for – ELO.
It just seems very difficult to account for boosting, smurfing, hacking, win-trading, and what not.
As far as WoW goes, then Blizzard kind of opened Pandora’s box with the WoW Token, creating an exchange value between money and gold and Blizzard balance.
Business-wise it makes a lot of sense. From a player perspective I don’t like it and I don’t see anything positive about it.
And from a gamer perspective I kind of feel like the people who engage in boosting activities are peeing their pants to keep warm. In the short term it helps, because the urine is hot. In the long term you just end up smelling like piss.
And likewise with boosting, then in the short term it’s an effective way to make gold or achieve a high rating. In the long term it’s a guaranteed way to erode the enjoyment and integrity of the gameplay experience.
Should Blizzard ban boosting and boosters? Yes, but they won’t, because they condone it and enable it and benefit from its existence.
It’s in sharp contrast to their own core value though; Play Nice, Play Fair.
I do wish anyone who dabbles in boosting activities would quit the game or break both arms or have their electricity supply cut off or something. They destroy the game for everyone else who are trying to play the game fair.
F* 'em.

Tbh everytime people were able to cheat to get whatever they want, it goes for vidéo games but also real life.
The best thing to do of you want to see what you can do better is to record your game. It helps a lot and even for your team-mate they can see what is going on from your PoV.
Your tyrant staring at the pillar is a good example

So how much does a boost to elite rating in 2s cost these days?
I used to boost PvE in WoD/Legion… thanks. 
There I thought you would never wish me anything bad.
PvE feels more like a grey area, in my opinion.
In PvP everything you do directly affects someone else and the game experience they have. So fair play is essential.
In PvE it’s really just the monsters who are on the receiving end of your actions. And they don’t matter. But still, it does undermine a person’s accomplishment if someone else just piggyback rides their way to the same.

Actually lets say i get boost in first week for final boss to get curve. I’m dead whole encounter and then i get curve. Next week i want to do raid and even tho i have no clue i get invited in lfg instantly. So i enter raid and int, destroy other people experience. Similar in m+ i can get boosted rio and deplete other people key. So i disagree you being boosted can affect other people.
That’s very true, and a good point.
I think my angle is more that the act of boosting in PvP involves ruining a lot of people’s play experience as you actively do it.
In PvE the run through Ny’alotha is an isolated experience that only involves you, the boosting group, and the monsters. And no one there is affected negatively by the act of boosting. It’s very self-contained.
…Until you step out of it, at which point you have devalued someone else’s accomplishment by earning the same in an – arguably – illegitimate way.
And your point is absolutely true as well, that you can deceive people afterward, by appearing more skilled and more experienced than you really are, leading to negative game experiences in group content.
So yeah, fair point well made.
I’ll still hold that PvP is the worse form of boosting.
