Some of us, we truly believed in Blizzards ability of limiting the Boosting phenomena but instead we got another boosting rebrand, killing the communities was not enough and everyone knows it. All this time WoW Market Discord was and is blooming in business selling Boost Advertisement services for all those remade communities and having a truly flourishing business, rules have changed, yes sure, but at the end off the day the same guys from 4 realms suck in all the gold, it was supposed to be server specific, but now only one player needs to be from that server in order to recruit and be there wen the boost is done, and of course top boosters transferred all over the different servers, add the region auctionhouse changes and u get free gold transfers for boosters the pinnacle of the wild west. I want more from you Blizzard, finish what u promised, kill the cancer from the source, and make realms great again.
I want everyone to leave an opinion good or bad, keep this post alive with your thoughts.
Why shouldnāt people be allowed to sell services for gold?
Should blizzard also put a stop to the couple of gold you give a mage for making a portal for you ect?
Imho, the only thing that needs to be changed is how and where boosts are advertisedā¦ iād like to see blizzard really double and triple down on not selling boosts in the LFG. But i dont see a problem with the communities ect.
People taking away the gold means less sales, we low pops are forced to post transmog and epic drops for next to nothing in the hopes that one region trader picks it up, same region traders bring in super expensive actual content items to make us even poorer, we are sick off being farm servers, and by each day we count less and less people, that balancing has serious issues, i could go on forever, and iff is that not enough the Russian economy hijackers have no restrictions at all, even after so many years off exploiting farm servers nothing is being done, we play for pleasure not to be exploited by everyone starting from the traders clan and going to Blizzard itself that is closing the eyes for the sake of profits.
Part of the problem is the fact that the mentality is there to just buy these āservicesā because you can. Trade in a token for ~300.000g and then spend that gold on getting epics. I donāt think Blizz can ever fix that.
But I do think we can. Shame the people who think itās okay to buy these things and let them know that epics isnāt what makes a good player. Donāt be rude, but be fair. Iāve seen my share of decked out players that performed worse than a newly dinged 60 in greens and blues.
The gold hoarders isnāt a problem though, Iām sitting on a neat sum myself that I donāt know what to do with; yet. Itās my gold, Iām not entitled to invest it anywhere if I donāt want to.
Its not a problem if your sitting on gold, the problem is when none off that gold comes back to the server in form of sales, its not sustainable, i had many friends and ex guildies transfer just because you can make more gold elsewhere, people donāt pay subscription and buy xpacks and after they have 2-3 characters see the realm dying before them, that is not fair, thatās a clear abuse and exploitation of players.
Tbh I think I might be stupid or smt but I have no clue what is the point to pay a game and a sub to not play it and pay even more to get rewards you donāt even deserve.
I donāt get it, but I feel like itās a trend rn In a lot of games.
Trend or not, boosting and other practices are hurting servers overall in my opinion, i mean iff u have 50 servers make them balanced, do not force people to migrate with char transfers.
There is a little tiny microscopic difference between a couple of gold for portal and whatever millions of gold you earn by boosting people through m+ or arenas.
What do you need those 100 million gold for? Please tell me.
They could do so many things to fix things up starting by lowering the black market auction house cap to affordable mortal prices, put a transfer limit per account, increase the rare black market auction house spans, end the tcg business that is making billions and billions to 50 people max, how about the other million people they want to play the game, we donāt count as much? Is our money not good enough?
Fighting boosts are like fighting drugs.
Theyāll always be there, as long as there is a demand for them.
They are in every game.
Iāve bought in total over 60m GIL in FFXIV, back when gil was extremely cheap to buy.
So i could buy my house, and decorate it, and some glamour.
Only way to fight it is fundamentally change how the game loop works.
Blizzard could fix that:
Get rid of the token.
Ban boosting for gold and control gold being traded between players. Itās not easy, but possible. We see in other games that boosting can be banned.
But where is it where it becomes not ok in your mindā¦ is it the 50k i earn from boosting someone?
The million i might over month?
Where do you draw the line? And on what background do you draw that line?
And as ive said in other posts, why is boosting a problem now? Itās been a thing since vanillaā¦ i remember me and my guild boosting for gold in Onyxias lair and MCā¦
From my point of view thereās not really a difference between boosting and the AHā¦ at the end of the day you pay for someones timeā¦ the difference between farming herbs and boosting is w/e to meā¦ its still their time ive paid forā¦
Ok guys, Iām maybe oblivious, but boosters are this big problem?
I mean, I donāt use boosts - it hurts me when I have to spend gold for consumables xD so buying boost would be overkill for me.
From my understanding - people buying boosts are desperate and obviously they donāt play for fun if they donāt want to put effort (you know, #OnlyRewardsMatter). But them buying boosts doesnāt have any impact on my gameplay experience. I just know they exist.
I didnāt have any problem gearing my chars on TBCC or retail by playing normally. Seriously. Am I missing something that should bother me?
I was against GDKP, but actually I couldnāt find any good counter-argument. Everyone in raid get something from the run and it gives additional reason to run older content. For me itās awesome. Of course there are RMT, but I donāt give a f if some prince will gear up full bis before me.
No my friend you are not.As a roleplayer for years i think the same way and i like the challenge in a game.Higher difficulty,rewards etc etc.
Boosters and boosted have some valid āexcusesā though like " why do you care what i do?".
So for me we are in a different dimension in the same game.I have left guilds when i saw members using boosting.
