Is it allowed to buy dungeon boosts with in game gold?

Hi all, is it allowed to buy dungeon boosts from other players with in game gold?

I know in retail they were trying to stop boosting services so I was wondering if they are trying to stop it in TBC as well?

I believe it is still allowed and the only possible consequence would be the loss of respect from other players.

You can buy whatever you want with ingame gold.

What you aren’t allowed to do is use real money.

Kind of this, except most players don’t care what you spend your gold on. You’ll get rightfully ridiculed for buying gold, but not spending gold on in-game services.

nobody cares if u buy boost or not, and to be honest i find it more insane leveling solo in an empty world between 1-60 than buying boosts. (im only talking about buying boost with gold from players, the blizzard boost obviously ruined the game to a great extend as we all said it would)

While others such as myself find it insane to pay someone else to play the game for you, to each his own I guess.

I find it insane that some players are unable to grasp that there are players who enjoy end-game content and do not enjoy levelling. Spending your free leisure time on something you hate is insanity. Paying people to do things you hate or don’t feel like doing for you on the other hand is rather normal in most other circumstances.

Yeah, good old “end-game content”. Nothing beats wanting to be able to skip repfarms, attunements etc while getting in to the latest raid in a PUG/GDKP with no strings attached wearing green leveling gear, to get gear from a list somebody else made on the internet one can underpeform with 2 hours/week while being AFK on a mount the rest of the time. Lets not forget the occational thread about more drops and wanting next phase to come sooner since “there’s nothing to do” (like there ever was).
Good ol end-game content! Of course the 4 days of solo leveling isnt worth it with such great joys waiting around the corner. Wouldn’t want to miss a reset before getting bored and rolling Alt 6 or 7.

I mean, you really don’t need group quests in TBC (most of them aren’t even group quests anymore to begin with), nor dungeon quests, to get to lvl 60 just via quests. In fact, it’s quite faster to do if you don’t meet competition while leveling. What’s so insane about it?

Not every person on this forum entertains all opinions at once, you’re just conflating things here. Personally, I don’t exactly enjoy the leveling part (I never got boosted but I rushed through it as fast as I could), but I enjoy raiding or even playing dungeons with other people, especially if those people are from my own guild. I guess that is what “end-game” is about.

Sure… that is exactly what he said right… :roll_eyes:
You sound insane.

11

Which is why I said ‘‘To each his own’’

Is this where I am supposed to say that it is insane that some people only enjoy end-game raid-logging over lvling?

Again, To each his own, if you can grasp the meaning of that.

im actually curious and i want u to confirm my suspicion. are you playing on a pve server or a pvp server? and im asking this because the way we play the game is fundamentally different. maybe u find leveling alone without enemies to kill enjoyable, i on the other hand require both friendly players leveling and enemy players leveling to enjoy it, which is something that is not existant in tbc as it currently stands; therefore boosting is the only option for me. maybe u are against paying with gold ingame boosts because u are a pve player, maybe u never experianced the fun that it is to level in contested zones with actual enemies, grouping up to kill the enemy faction to take over a quest area, and maybe therefore you dont grasp what is missing from leveling now in the game?

13

Yes, to each their own. I agree. Let people who enjoy levelling continue to level alts, and don’t force poeople who don’t enjoy it to level with them. Which, coincidentally, seems to be Blizzard’s current approach. So all is well.

Wut ? There’s no loss of respect if you get boosted in dungeons for golds. Usually people that have many characters are bored of leveling and prefer to farm golds and pay a boost. Nobody is going to judge you for that … that doesn’t make you a bad player, that doesn’t make you a good player. People often troll a bit about players that buy golds in Wow Classic, but it’s very common since GDKP raids. Like in real life, you’ll always find people that want to pay to bypass something. It’s human.

Remember that buying golds with real money can lead to account suspension or a ban because it’s not authorized in Wow Classic, even if some people don’t respect the game rules, they risk at any point to give up their characters because of a banwave (and if it happen on raid release, you are going to screw your guild if you have an important role so don’t be like that).

I’m sorry to tell you but that is incorrect, I know of several players that look down upon both boosters and boostees.

Are the ones that dislikes boosts in the majority or does the other side have a majority?

I do not know, therefore I do not express my beliefs with certainty and thus only stated it being a possible consequence.

I have been playing on PvP servers for 10+ years, first on retail then on Classic(Gehennas Alliance), then in TBCC(Earthshaker), although on current server horde left a few months ago.

So i’m afraid your suspicion is incorrect.

16

Well personally, I don’t wanna play with scum who buys/sells any boosts. But hey, maybe it’s just me.

Almost everyone is involved in boosting these days, gl playing with the 10% leftover boomers.

Boosting is fine. GDKP’s are not, until bots and gold buying/selling is taken care of.
(never because blizztard is a trash company now)

I love these kinds of comments.

Now. Let’s imagine that there are roughly 243,000 people playing TBC Classic right now - which, based on previous population estimations is probably somewhat accurate.

So, for ‘most people’ to be levelling purely by paying others to boost them though dungeons it would mean that at least 122,000 people were doing the above.

How realistic does that seem to you?

You should read what i wrote before you start typing. Being involved isnt equal to exklusively leveling by boosting.

Even on megaservers the world is completely empty while strat and sm are busy 24/7.

Just face it, the number of people who have never taken a single dungeon boost or boosted themself is absurdly low.
