That’s all 
AFK dungeon boosts kills the population in the outdoor world and promotes the gold buying to buy yourself a character boost from a mage/paladin, ruining the economy, being just a proxy way to buy yourself a character boost from a cash shop.

No all my paladin gold making potential
Exactly how is this ruining the economy?

I wouldn’t mind nerfing the boost potential. Game experience has been significantly damaged by the sheer volume of sweatlords boosting people’s alts.

You’re doing mental gymnastics to attack buying gold and boosting at the same time.
Adress each issue properly instead of doing this.
Agreed, but make it five levels higher not 10.
Did it not used to be this way, I have a vague memory of a time when entering a dungeon with a much higher level friend would nerf the amount XP I gained, or maybe I’m misremembering?

If dungeon boosting is nerfed, outdoors boosting will just increase. And trust me, you don’t want this. Be happy that most boosting takes place in dungeons, because there is nothing more annoying than seeing 60’s run around in low level zones boosting people, and killing all the quest mobs, and what not. Honestly, the only thing that needs to be addressed on the whole boosting situation is making a separate channel for boosting, and leaving LFG for people who want to do normal dungeon groups or raid pugs.

I think xp is distributed based on average level, so getting boosted solo nets less xp then if you have a 60 boosting 4 people
Dungeon boosting is already taking a nerf in TBC due to the AoE cap. Why should I not be allowed to run friends through a couple of levels just because you’re scared of somebody selling boosting services for in-game gold?
No, that was WoTLK.

They’re not going to change XP distribution, it would be too big a rework.
Your best bet is to get an addon that blocks all boosting adds in the group finder. I have one such addon in retail and it works great.
It’s botting and wow tokens that ruin economies, not boosting.
Rampant boosting ruins your ability to play the game like it was intended.
The more people resort to boosts the less people there are to do normal runs with.
Dude they are directly connected. I have myself been in a normal boosting grp with professional gold sellers. One was literally type in Chinese and another guys invited me to his gold selling Diacord where you could buy gold. More than half of the boosters I have used have been obvious gold farmers for RMT.
Not everyone who is boosting is selling gold, but many or most do.
Not everyone who buy boost buy gold, but many or most do.
Why did I buy boosts? Well I couldn’t find grps for dungeons. Most people just gets boosts so no people for dungeons so more people get boosts.
It’s an RMT catch 22 immersion killer.
Most people, but not you though.
Prove it then. I’ve been playing Classic since the beginning and I’ve never seeing concrete evidence of gold buying in-game. Not saying that it doesn’t exist, but if you say that “most boosters and boosted buy gold”, I expect a better proof than “I’ve been in a group like that once”.
Might want to change servers, I’m on Mograine and I often do dungeons on alts.
You are very naive and ignorant.
The MMORPG RMT industry, yes industry, is selling gold and services for millions in wow alone.
I didn’t ask for your opinion or for more unbacked claims. The only thing you’ve show is that you’re the “believe me else you’re dumb” type.
Not to mention you can’t even stick to the question. I’m asking how “boosts” and “gold buying” are related, you’re answering “you’re naive gold boost exists”.
I’ll stop wasting my time with you here.
Are actually serious and don’t know about the RMT gold industry in this game? I am confused and can’t tell if you are serious or not?
Just google it dude. “MMORPG gold industry”, it’s a billion dollar industry.
