Hi Blizzard,
I’d really like to bring attention to a serious ongoing issue in the LFG tool — endless spam from RMT boosting services.
Every single minute, new groups appear advertising “Mythic+ 30–40 runs” with external links. These aren’t just gold-paid boosts; they are clear real money transactions, which are directly against the Terms of Service.
It’s gotten to the point where it’s almost impossible to find legitimate groups anymore. The LFG section is completely flooded 24/7, especially during peak hours. Even when I report and block them, new ones instantly appear under slightly different names.
This is frustrating for regular players who want to use the tool fairly.
Please, take stronger action.

and yet you post it on the EU forums a place where no dev will ever read it.

I think it’s impossible to post anything on US forums without having an actual character on that region.
From what I can see, there shouldn’t be any place to post boosting services within the game. Those posts should be automatically deleted, and the posters should be banned.
I know there’s a services chat, but the whole boosting community just makes regular players feel bad. You can see nonstop messages about selling Curve, ratings, etc. Meanwhile, if you play normally, you have to spend more gold on consumables and actually make progress, instead of spending a fraction by buying a token or, even worse, RMT’ing gold for a boost.

Yeah they don’t read US forums either.
Reddit, twitter or have someone with a large audience like a specific streamer make a video about it.
Dono if they read emails or ingame tickets but those are also options
But forum posts, for sure not

You can create a free US license and level a toon to 10. But all feedback options lead to the same team and you will not receive a personalised blue response.
Some previous US CS response though on this subject matter:
If they are automatically deleted (or blocked) they continue to find a way around until it isn’t. Certain words cannot be used to create an LFG ad. Also, unto a certain point it is not feasible to block words because that means you can’t even form a coherent sentence anymore.
They do. You noticed it yourself:
An infinite battle between the black market and enforcement mhm, old tale.
Just report them, move on. We really can’t do anything against this. Blizzard will never care cuz they don’t have employed ppl to deal with it. We must trust report algorithm.
It’s insane how many there are. They’re like cockroaches. Stomp one of em and 2 more come crawling back. You can’t filter them out with the rating as there is none. Everyone has a 0 rating.
Especialy wowvendor ones… most annoying to deal with, they are like epidemic. Idk why blizz wont take action
If we could filter the Voice chat on there, it would all go away for the time being. All of those ads use that voice chat option. No normal groups actually use it.
