You can just convert crests obtained in the open world/LFD to aspect crests and craft 525 gear, it’s higher ilvl than what drops in m+.
But how is it an advantage if the gear you are paying for is worse than what the F2P player is getting?
No, then I have 100% chance.
I get a boost through a +10 Mythic Dungeon and I am guaranteed to loot a Mythic-quality item in my weekly vault.
I would never ever have gotten that Mythic-quality item in my weekly vault otherwise, because I’m not a good enough player to do a +10 Mythic Dungeon.
So I buy it with my boost.

You have a 100% chance to get a myth track weapon in your vault?
I haven’t seen one for the whole season.
Teach me your secrets.
What if’s, huh?
What if it does drop? Then you admit it is?
Eventually it will happen. What does it change?
Sure you can. So what?
You still haven’t understood that having the option by paying and it being a better chance than players that don’t pay, which can be any player, even just a flower picker, you just got an advantage.
Having the option not to and going the slower route does mean that it is an advantage to do it the easy way.
The option is there. It exists. Are you gonna argue that?
That is all the definition requires. It’s not only P2W. An P2W option is enough to fit the definition.

He is paying Blizzard under the table for good RNG obv. Didn’t you know that is a service in the in-game shop.
The F2P player doing outdoor content isn’t getting drops from world mobs or rewards from world quests that beat the gear that drops by the end of a +10 Mythic Dungeon.
So it’s better to buy a boost.
If you complete a +10 Mythic Dungeon, then your item level in the weekly vault is the highest possible (I think?).
If you’re not skilled enough as a player to successfully complete a +10 Mythic Dungeon, then you can buy a boost through a +10 Mythic Dungeon for money.
Thus it doesn’t matter if you’re a good player or not, you can get the highest item level gear possible in your weekly vault if you have money for boosts.

Yes, i agree i could’ve worded that better.
I only care for the long term effects of it.
But it’s not a better chance. The chances are the same, booster accept gold. You can farm gold, especially from doing WQs. Boosts are not exclusive to players who buy WoW tokens.
Does this not exist for people doing outdoor content? You can convert crests all the way up to aspect and craft 525 gear with them, with your desired stats and even embellishments(something that m+ gear doesn’t have).
Whoa, last time I checked this thread, there were 100 posts. Interesting 
But the prices for boosts are so high that you’re not realistically going to be able to afford many of them if you just farm gold by doing WQs.
The only way you can repeatedly buy those boosts that cost hundreds of thousands or millions of gold, is by using money on WoW Tokens and selling the WoW Tokens for gold. That’s the only realistic way for the general playerbase to accumulate high sums of gold.

Any player. Any “other”. You hold on to the world quest example, but it needs to apply to anyone and everyone playing the game.
It doesn’t matter that the of case off bad luck exists. It’s that the possibility not to is the rule.
I Know it’s not. I told you buying with in-game gold is (allowed) cheating,not pay to win. Pay to win involves “paying” with real money which you translate to gold. Aka the token.

No.
I do outdoor content almost exclusively (you can check my profile) and my gear is way below that.
You’re not getting 525 from doing your weekly quests and some LFR on the side. That’s just not happening. And if you are painstakingly trying to min/max your gear as an outdoor player to anywhere near that item level, then you are spending an insane amount of time and effort and gold doing so. In which case, again, it’s far easier and cheaper and faster to buy a boost.
I mean, just look at my character. It has run a couple of Normal raids, a bunch of LFR raids, and farmed weekly quests every week throughout this Season. And I’m item level 505.
So much time and effort and I’m only item level 505.
I could boost my way past that in less than a day if I used my credit card.
It’s absurd.

It’s 2/4 Mythic track, you still need crest and good RNG to have it drop what you need. And to put this into perspective I have never gotten out of a season with full Mythic slots and I have completed my vaults almost every week this expansion. RNG is RNG.
XD
I only do WQs to make gold, each week I can afford at least 5 HC boosts. But I guess you are talking about Mythic. You can make millions of gold pretty easily by flipping AH items, and that requires even less time and skill than WQs.
Trust me you really do not want to die on that hill.
That’s a flawed argument, because not everyone can do so. In fact, only very few people can do so.
There must obviously be a lot of players who spend money on the Auction House in order for a few players to earn millions of gold by flipping items.
If everyone could earn gold by flipping items, then who’s putting gold into the AH for those people flipping items to take out of it?
It’s a system of many losers and few winners. You can’t apply it as a guaranteed way to make gold for the playerbase at large.
That’s impossible. All players can’t make a profit on the AH without some players losing gold on the AH. And some players can’t lose gold on the AH if you’re saying they can all make gold on the AH. That’s an oxymoron.

Hell, in season 2 I never managed to finish the season 2 mythic mog because I didn’t get any feet drops for the whole season, not even looted from m+ on hero track to upgrade to be able to get the mog from the catalyst. Not a single feet drop.
If they hadn’t implemented s2 as the mog for this season, I probably wouldn’t have finished the set lmao.

They implemented it and I am still missing parts of it.
Theoretically true, but practically almost no one does it because it’s such a boring thing to do. So therefore even your basic run of the mill player can do it if they decide to do it.
