Hi
We all know about em, guys clearin raids and pushing pvp rating for u, boosters.
My question is. What are they doin with so huge amount of gold, for what do they spend em ? I believe they must earn thousand and thousands of gold per day.
Okey, in real life, millionaires buy houses, cars, jewelry, rich vacations etc.
But boosters in game ? Mounts, pets ? Or what ?
They sell the in-game gold for real-life money on illegal third party websites.
Either Re-sell to gold sites or Make it into Blizzard balance through wow token.
They do get the real money value from it somehow.
These people are certainly not boosting âfor goldâ even if you pay with that.
As someone who boosted M+ in BfA S4, I did a couple of things with the gold I earned: I bought a Brutusaur for a friend, and the rest I piled up in preparation for Shadowlands. I ended up not really needing that gold, so Iâm waiting for a dino to come to the BMAH, and buy myself one too.
Whatever gold I have left, Iâll use it to buy whatever I fancy, help out friends, buy char boosts, race changes, etc, if they ever let me become a mechagnome druid.
Plenty of others (esp. big guilds) are using boosting to pay back their debts: the world first race isnât cheap, gotta pay that gold back. They can stock up on gold for the next raid tier too. Or pay for consumables and whatnot.
Thereâs a gazillion things you can use the gold on.
[WHAT ARE BOOSTERS DOIN WITH SO MUCH GOLD?]
Using it for next tier progression.
Itâs so obvious even this guy gets it.
Itâs not, though. There will, of course, be some who do. But the vast majority of the people who actually perform the boosts, donât. If you lack the imagination what they could spend the gold on, thatâs not their fault.
Iâm not really sure who youâre trying to bs right now. I mean you replied to my post but not sure if that message is meant for me.
It is meant for you.
depends on the booster.
Some are just earning their share of gold for tokens and typical gold cost.
The big fish boosters, mostly just sell for real money though.
Just like any person, I have many flaws. A lack of intelligence isnât one of them.
Another very obvious fact is that Iâm way smarter than the average person.
Probably tokens and other expensive stuff, like BMAH or TCG rewards.
Yeah the ones in the upper ranks who literally have more gold than they can spend will go into RMT, at least some of them. The temptation is too great for nobody to do it. Look what happened to Gallywix.
The small fish will re-invest in the game in some way, but with those who have a lot theyâll likely? be cashing out the in-game gold to IRL cash.
Exactly.
Yeah, lots of regular-ish boosters are just good players who make 10, 20 million by being available for boosts when online - and you can easily spend that, especially if youâre pushing for some competitive goals.
The organisers, and people who get into the RMT inside groups, have the volume to trade for real money.
I remember watching a YouTube on the Gallywix thing, various people involved in it were interviewed and the responses ranged from âI had no idea it was going onâ to âIt was only a couple hundred bucks/few thousand.â The main person supposedly running it went radio silent.
Sure, I believe them - not. One would not establish such a big outfit with so little return or for a âfree boostâ in return for the gold released.
They were all in on that and either played dumb, or only admitted to cashing out like 1/20th of what they get each week from sales of gold.
Ah, I knew I had read some âhorseâs mouthâ account of the business end. Excelt I didnât read it, I heard it. Gallywix admins explain to Asmongold.
Yes, you can still hate Asmongold. Just listen to the guys explaining. The thing that caught me by surprise was Blizzardâs ⌠part? monitoring? in all this.
LOL Snap!
I think you guys are overestimating how much a single person who does boosts makes, people arenât mass RMTâing the gold they make from boosts.
I used to boost a little bit of M+ and my guild used to boost as well selling heroic runs.
I think I made about 100k ~ from our heroic boost each week and about 50k~ each mythic 15 run. Yeah, itâs alot of gold, but to make millions will take a considerable amount of time. There is no way I would sell that gold for real life money when there is so much stuff to spend it on.
WoW is pretty crazy atm with its boosting situation. There are so many listed in group finder.
Out of curiosity I went to one of the URLs listed - besides selling gold, they had services like:
Potentially failed M15+ run - ÂŁ120. Successfully timed M15+ run ÂŁ150.
ÂŁ80 for getting a mount like one in mechagon.
Lol. If people actually pay these kind of people itâs no wonder so many people are getting into boost selling.
I just spent over a million gold on mounts, topped up my battle net balance and did some transfers/race changes
I wouldnât get within a country mile of any of those real-money boost sites, and neither would anyone with the IQ of spinach. The regular M+10, M+15, HC boosts for gold are mostly safe enough through the boosting communities, and the worst that will happen is you lose your gold to a failed run and a vanishing booster. Blizzard are happy to take your money in exchange for the gold, and they wonât rip you off.
I just find it hard to believe that people actually use those sites. They must, though, or we wouldnât see them. I guess there really is one born every minute. If I wanted a RM boost, Iâd look for and contact people directly; know who Iâm dealing with, keep it off all the radars, and keep my CC and identity to myself.
