Time to ban boosts for gold

I believe that was sarcasm

No.

If boosts were gone, people would not start to enjoy Torghast as it stands, that part is right, but with the coming update they might start to enjoy it.

Doing Mythic dungeons? Pugging? well they would enjoy this more and the reason would be, because they don’t end up with people in their group who have just been boosted but have no idea how to play on that level.

“to be seen worthy of a guild” honestly, if people have to pay to get into a guild, they won’t last very long in that guild anyway, so they should just go and make their own guild or join a different one.

What made boosting communities appear was quite simply Third party companies who could no longer make money from botting, as the pathfinder requirement on flying left their bots ground bound, running into walls and being reported.

They lost too many accounts and came up with the idea to sell boosts, so they built boosting communities. Now they use those communities and pay people a bit’o’gold to do all the hard work for them, boosting players, so that they can still have a ton of real money in their bank account at the end of the month.

It is against forum rules to post links to such websites, but the same websites who used to sell only gold, now sell boosts and gold. They all use the same format as is used in the boosting communities. Within the communities it is strongly maintained that only gold is accepted for boosts.

They take gold from the boosts bought directly in the communities, they take cash from the boosts sold on the websites, they pay boosters with gold, they keep the cash.

If you are boosting people and all you are getting for it is a bit of gold, then aren’t you a fool?

Hard to tell over the nett tbh espcially with some of there other posts .

I just checked Fatboss tv boosting site, the phone number on it has an Ukraine prefix. I also saw the real Fatboss asking blizzard on twitter to do something about it. nothing happened. You can go on LFG and see that boosting community selling real money boosts from dawn till dusk.

Means nothing to me but you said cease and desist could not happen until you can back that up with solid links and facts and blue posts you are talking nonesense sorry its well within blizzard reach to do it because its there IP which is protected by law in all countries .

Have you ever went into BFA hyper spawn areas? Or have you ever seen what is going on at the Tempest Keep dungeons in Outland? Have you seen what is going on in classic wow? There are bots, both in retail and classic, thousands of them, who are automatically grinding gold 24/7. They are banned every couple of months (meaning there is plenty of time for them to rack a profit). Botting is fine and well and boosting is totally unrelated. Check youtube videos about it. You even see streamers doing riots about this here and there. Multiboxing is also as good as it ever was. They use hardware input now which is harder to track, that’s why you see the Druids herbing/grinding adds as they were. Only the legitimate multiboxers suffered.

Of course you will say they are not related
 you make gold from boosting. You are not going to admit, nor is anyone from the boosting communities, what is clearly obvious when you visit them and then visit the boost seller websites
 that they are run by the same people.

Here’s the problem, I took the time to check my facts by joining boosting communities, even creating my own at one point. So I got to see all sides of the problem. I invited you earlier to do the same, to see that it’s not as evil as you pictured it. Throwing away facts without any evidence, or at least empirical evidence, is weak and won’t go anywhere. There are RMT communities and there are Gold communities, totally unrelated because different target audience.

If you think that the thousands of players who boost M+ for 20-35k / dungeon are selling this gold to make a living, considering a M+ dungeon boost takes ~20 min depending on the dungeon and the week, damn
they must be living on yachts

“Evil” lol,

scammers!

Those sites are not imaginary, they are very real and run by third party companies.

There never was 25 million subscriptions, it was around 12 million.

When Blizzard start to ban boosters and they then use some of their scam earned cash to buy more accounts, more subscriptions, the game will then appear to have more players, which in turn will make more people come to play it. Nobody wants to play a game that doesn’t have many players.

Quite.

And for all the things i would say that this current development manager has wrong


He sure does have one thing right, players need to get good at the game. Which they will never do while boosting is killing the game.

People need to learn to play the game for themselves and not be boosted.

Some people up there^ said they want Blizzard to take the e-sport side of WoW more seriously. It is a bit hard for them to do that when so many players can’t even play the game because mass booster advertisements lead them to believe that their only way forward was to buy boosts and let someone else play the game for them.

Get good people, stop paying for boosts!

Goes to show you didnt read the whole post i am well aware there was 12.5 million at peak wotlk .

its a 17 year old game nearly in a dieing genre of MMO thats the reason why the game is in decline and the fact the lead designer does not think well about the player base or listen to them .

Its been in the game always since MC nothing with stop it .

Maybe if they stopped making FOMO content people wouldnt feel the need to buy things .
Also i know a few players who are mount collectors and are disabled and play the acution house game well and buy boosts with the golds they have earnt millions of it via legal AH play .

I know, but it has never been to this magnitude and handing out time-bans would indeed sink it. Of course it won’t stop it dead, but it will sink it.

I doubt that the majority of players who take a percentage cut of the gold for doing all the work to get someone boosted, would want to risk being banned.

One ban wave, just one, would probably halve the amount of boosting straight away. Further ban waves, we will be back to 10 years ago where people beg for boosts in the trade channel and get told to shut up and “get good”.


How sad. Maybe if there were no boosting scammers, those friends of yours would join a guild where they would make friends with players who would bring them to raids as friends. Not expect them to cough up their gold.

Sorry but reading this, makes me think of boost sellers even more as pure scammers!

Hey Ronjambö, just curious, how come you don’t have KSM yet? :slight_smile:

I am sorry, if you wiped on HC because 1 person didn’t know how to do the orb, then you had far larger problems 
 but ofc you choose to ignore those failings and focus on the boosted person 


whats wrong with selling carrys/boosts ? :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t yet have all Mythic Dungeons completed on level 15 because, I was late to buy the expansion. The part of WoW that I struggle with is questing. I am terrible at questing. I end up running around in circles not knowing what I am supposed to be doing. I struggle to navigate on a ground mount, without a real map.

In WoW the “World Map” is an artist rendition of what the real map could look like. While the actual real aerial map is confined to the small square know as the Mini-map. Imagine if you wanted to travel somewhere, and instead of google maps, all you had was some artists rendition of what a map might look like.

I need a flying mount so that I can see the land layout from above to get a real sense of barings.

Because of this, it took me weeks to complete the campaign quests, where it might take a pro quester less than half a day to complete them all.

I know I fail at this part of WoW, I understand this limitation of mine.

After getting my main character to max level and gearing him up enough to start doing end-game content (Shadowlands Dungeons/Raids/PvP), I asked someone to be the Raid Leader for my guild. I would normally run the raid groups myself but Real Life is difficult for me right now. Well, that guy decided to be a bad-egg and started bad-mouthing me on the Discord when I wasn’t on channel. Then he left and took most of the raid team (which I built) to go and make a new guild.

So at this point, I decided to take out my DK and started to level him, so that we had a Tank and the raids could continue for those who stayed. I then started running community based raids for my Guild and Community group.

I run Mythic Dungeons during day-times with my friend who is a Paladin Healer. First we completed all dungeons “in-time” on level 7, then level 10, then aimed for higher than level 12, and now we both need to complete them all on higher than level 14 then 15.

I got into a group last week to do Plaguefall on level 16. (without my Paladin friend because he was asleep). The damage was too low and it was looking like it would be completed around 30 seconds “Over-Time”. Then a DPS died on the last boss and there wasn’t enough damage to take it down so it lead to a wipe-out. This caused the 3 DPS to start arguing. We went for a second shot at the boss but they continued to argue and one of them left so it was Game-Over and the dungeon did not get finished.

So the short answer is, I am working on my own progress, and refuse to pay for boosts because the achievement would be nice but it doesn’t mean so much to me. If I get it done before season 2 goes live, then I do.


If I have the money to spend on a WoW-Token then I would get one and spend the gold on Flasks and Potions which I need for dungeons. So this idea people have that Blizzard won’t stop boosts because it makes them sell more WoW tokens is quite a silly concept.

If someone has money to spend on a game, they will spend that money on that game. Just the same as if someone has money to spend on horse racing, they will spend it on exactly that.

Without boosts, people would still buy the same amount of WoW tokens, but they would then spend the gold on Flasks, Food, Potions, Armours, and they would play the game for themselves.


Looking at the amount of players we have online right now, it is starting to seem like the servers are going “Dead”. This is happening earlier and earlier towards the end of each season of WoW for the past few years.

This is due to the fact that so many people are being boosted. If they were not being boosted then like myself, they would still be logging on and working to progress towards achieving what they can before the start of the next season.

Why is population so low right now? Because people who got boosted are not so bothered about playing until the start of the next season.

What happens when new or returning players log on, and find seemingly empty servers? They think that the game is dead and they go to play something else.

So you see, Boosting is killing this game in more ways than one.

This is why players who advertise boosts in-game should be facing penalties such as account silences and incremental time-bans.

I hope this answered your question.

I was just asking for a simple answer tho, no your life story.

Or the patch has been out for 6 months and most people who wanted to do KSM already did :rofl:

Good luck on your 15s then, feel free to hit me up if you need help, I can tank or dps for a moderate price :wink:

Blizzard calculate the average time it will take the average players to complete the given current content. Blizzard don’t want empty servers which put people off of playing the game.

What Blizzard do not seem to include into their calculations, or simply misestimate, is the amount of the game which will be skipped over by people who get boosted.

I don’t believe in luck but thanks for that sentiment if it was not sarcasm. I won’t be calling on you for help or boosts even if you offer them for free. What I manage to achieve for myself I can be proud of.

Stop boosting people, you are all killing the game, one stab at a time.

Boosting happens all the time in communities, guilds and friends. For free. And on voice the boosties get also learned some stuff immediately. Boosting is not bad.
