Because I’ve boosted in Gallywix for a long time myself and have seen the quick and justly harsh manner anyone caught doing RMT is deal with (instant kick/ban from the community and all accumulated gold balance removed).
But I won’t engage in further conversation with someone named “Trumpknight” with the phrase ‘fake news’ in their post, so let’s leave it at that.
Looks clear as day that the ban is for RMT
You’re completely right. Blizzard is selling you gold directly. Their reasoning behind it can be a multitude of things. If it was to grab every last penny from you or to try to stop third party sellers. They are entitled to do this because it is their IP. I’m not trying to shill but it is what it is
Now start banning multi-boxers, which are bots (using a program to automate a character’s actions without you being at the keyboard controlling that particular character). Sick of multiboxers ruining the economy on servers.
Because they’re protecting their friends who engage in RMT. In order for Blizzard to make this statement it’s a serious issue.
I don’t think they’ll ever really ban multiboxing, but I just wish it wasn’t efficient to multibox. Like what if gathering professions were more minigames based.
Thank you for proving my point by responding to my post with nothing more than an Ad Hominem on account of my avatar’s name, as opposed to providing supporting evidence for your utterly absurd, nebulous claim.
Your experience with a group of people has no bearing on their ability to violate policies and laws, and it certainly does not give validity to any unsupported claims that the actions being taken against them are unfair, especially considering you’re a random customer - not a Blizzard employee designated to partake in this particular investigation. Blizzard laid out rules, and members of a community allegedly broke them with some level of frequency to the point of them having to do this. It is Blizzard’s domain, and Blizzard’s rules. Whether or not you like the result is completely inconsequential.
yea, I don’t know how multiboxing works but multibox bad
The best solution would be to provide a legitimate way to convert ingame gold -->real money. Like the token, but in reverse.
The issue is, ppl running the boosting service get a cut from every sale. They eventually reach a point where there’s nothing left to buy in the blizzard store. If Blizzard provided a sanctioned way to convert gold to usd this wouldn’t be an issue. And the earnings from the reverse token could be used to fund game development -->good for everyone.
I mean there is already an option to convert tokens into Blizzard balance.
I’ve only purchased one boost from Gallywix and it was for gold. It was like 265k for a timed +15. I needed the Balance of Power appearance color on my warrior. I got the same boost from Starlight for my warlock, for the same reason, for only 165k and they armor stacked for free. So Gallywix charges too much. Good riddance.
Go ahead and explain how Blizzard giving $$$ for gold could produce earnings.
this. i never notice trade chat. it’s in a different window tab and i never see it at all
I don’t think any old player should be able to sit down and start farming real money from a video game world, but on top the 100+ disastrous reasons that this should never happen, where does that money come from?
what about other 95134123 boosting services that sell runs for gold, but then sell this gold to goldsellers for money? I get it, run buyers buying tokens and it’s profitable for you so why change anything
I see a bunch of cheaters got got, and freeloaders are mad.
Tokens were the worst thing to have ever happen to this game and just like the RMT AH in Diablo 3 it should be removed.
They also could be target to a ban. I guess that’s obvious. Are you saying they wouldn’t be?
Thank you for recognizing how toxic boosting services are and doing something about it. It has no part in trade chat or LFG tool regardless of weather its for gold only or real money… Boosting has really hurt the game and I doubt anyone could change my mind on that!
Sounds like Gallywix only for now
I’ve used Gallywix once for a 15. It was one a fresh alt and I wanted to see what everyone was spamming in trade for.
What I never understood about Gallywix was they charged 150,000 gold for a 15. Right now I can only get 117-120k for a token. So it’s over token price.
I’ve used this example in another thread where it’s like when I’m somewhere and they want to charge me $1.25 for some soda. It’s just an odd number.
With this change, I imagine the boosts are going to get more expensive since competition will go down or we may see other little communities pop up who may drag prices down.
