Time to ban boosts for gold

Maybe get good then?

only rison i have druid they easy to farm with all u do is spam sunfire and starfall and convoke 
 :rofl:

I attacked a rare before and a druid behind me used convoke at a pvp quest and i got one shotted i did not even noticed, kinda op man.

yeah u can starfall enemys while in stealth in cat form without it braking stealth :rofl:

Cool show me the gear so i can be envious :smiley:

Please link druid really wanting to see all the gear you got to get you 226 in 70 free hours :smiley:

Technically possible. If i count my time inside Nathria and the weekly Mythic then ye 70hrs sounds about right for 226. Plus Minus. Also appears he meant that he got carried by his guild because he was the weakest raider and got taken because hes either a tank or they lack people. Also obvious troll because of hitbox.

cough

Why would i believe anything other than “they make gold so they will say anything to keep making that gold”?

Yes, it is.

Take a server like Silvermoon EU for example. It has a booming population. Simply because it has a reputation for having a booming population and for being the most advanced EU realm.

Other servers, which have 5 or 6 connected realms don’t even have the same online average player-base as Silvermoon does by itself.

When people log on and see empty servers because so many of the patriots of that server have been boosted so no longer wish to play until the next season is live
 they log off too.

Empty servers give people the idea that the game is dead.

Yes this could be addressed by some free character transfers, but that would only be putting a bandage on a gaping wound.

Some Players would rather spend a bit of gold to get a boost than pay cash to transfer all of their characters to a higher population realm. Since the realm they have the most of their characters on was probably recommended to them when they started playing.

Boosting is the main cause of this low population, on realms which Blizzard have already connected more realms too in order to try and fix the problem.

Then they should not be able to gain the achievement.

Not everyone can commit to studying at university, should they be able to give someone some carrots to get boosted on their thesis and get their doctorate that way? No!

That is why contrary to this opinion


A boost is not part of the game.

If you need to be boosted in order to get an achievement, then you should not have the achievement.

I am the first to point out when something is due to bad design or bad development choices.

Boosting isn’t a result of bad design or development. Boosting is a result of bad choices of players.

If you want an achievement then work for it. Get Good at the game! Or get some friends who will take you along without you having to pay them gold or cash.

That is a part of the game, joining a guild and making friends. There is always a guild to suit everyone in the game. Just spend your time to find the right guild for you.

Because they are selling tokens :slight_smile:

Its got nothing to do with tokens.

Anything you ask about WoW these days, someone will always throw the reply “Blizz only care about money and what makes them money”.

Just think about that for a minute.

What makes them money is happy players. Not empty servers.
When so many players from a server have had enough of the season’s raids and dungeons because they paid for a boost
 then the server goes dead, and they lose other players who don’t pay for boosts.

It doesn’t add up.

I gave reasons as to why. Not whether they should or should not.

Its part of the game whether you like it not and will be until Blizzard bans it.

Thats still a boost. Hypocrite much?

Really, paid boosting of pvp rating, mythic dungeons and raids, isn’t a part of the game. You can buy from Blizzard a character level boost. Which is a system that was made to combat “level boosts” offered by third party companies, which often resulted in accounts being hacked - as players would have to give their account details to the boosters to gain the levels.

Nowhere in the game or the Blizzard store can you buy PvP or PvE bootst. Therefore, paid boosting isn’t a part of the game itself. It is a part of the community, if you want to say that, but it isn’t a part of the game.

It isn’t hypocrisy at all.

If you can’t identify the distinction between paying for a boost and running with friends then there is something wrong.

Boosters will have you think that there is a distinction between paying with cash and paying with gold, when as many people say in this topic it is essentially the same no matter the currency.

Boosters will have you believe that the people they boost have an enjoyable experience from being boosted. They will make out like they are “mentoring” or “tutoring”, when they are not, they are just playing the game for you. However, friends will teach you and help you to learn to play the game, for free.

Money doesn’t buy friendship.

Nooo
 Please don’t ban them. Let me get my curve first :frowning: please

They would not be able to do this even if they wanted, they are too inept. There are bugs that affect PVP every day and get reported all the time, they cannot fix even that. They wouldn’t want to ban boosts either, because boosts bring them money indirectly (people buy tokens to pay for a boost).

Nah, to make sure people buy tokens sell. :rofl:
These bans are win-win for Blizzard.

They should actually remove the option to buy game token for real money and you can still buy it on AH for playtime.

And the community is part of the game. What youre trying is nitpicking, simple as that. Its part of the game.

A boost is a boost. A guy i charge XX amount of gold gets boosted. A mate who cant play for beep but still gets the kill because i dragged him along is still getting boosted. So yes, hypocrite.

Boosters dont give a flying F what you think during a run. They only care about your money. They will only “mentor and tutor” you if you, you get it, buy a 1hr tutor/mentor for pvp. Nobody is teaching or intending to teach you anything if you buy a CE or M+. Youre usually requested to jump off as to not F with the pull.

Whoever said that?

this is your opinion, what i state is fact. paid boosting services are Not a part of the game.

and you think this isn’t killing the game?

get over yourself
 learn to farm gold instead of conning people out of gold.

Nitpicking. Thats what it is. Boosting is as old as Vanilla at this point.

Have i said that?

Oh the utmost irony.

Uhh assumptions, love it. Anything constructive to say? No? Figured as much.

The reason there’s so much boosting is because the playerbase has, over the years, become more and more exclusionary. It’s gotten to the point that players would rather farm/buy the gold necessary to get the boost than deal with rejection after rejection after rejection. Thank god I don’t pug, I cannot imagine coming home after work, spending HOURS on lfg getting declined over and over again before I even get to play the damn game. People who buy boosts are probably of the same mindset, but don’t want to join a guild for whatever reason.

The more exclusionary the pug scene gets, the bigger the demand for boosts, and the more it will get advertised. If players were more lenient in their requirements for grouping this “problem” wouldn’t exist.

Banning boosting for gold will simply shift it to exclusively RMT. Currently lots of mythic raiding guilds join boosting communities to bankroll their progression, it’s a bit more benign in that sense.

I’m talking specifically about PvE, in PvP I think it’s a bit more complicated, there’s more problems with that side of the game when it comes to boosting but I don’t do Arena or RBGs so I’m not going to comment on that.

Literally none of this has to do with social justice lmao, you could easily argue this both ways: Boosting is social justice, because it elevates the oppressed noobs to be put on an even playing field with the evil elitist pug scene.
