The Galleywix and Huokon communities are AIDS

Have fun getting banned dork
They only used bans on the accounts that used RM transactions, yes. But you also clearly didn’t read the blue post close enough.
“Going forward, accounts may receive actions if they are found to be involved in future transactions with Gallywix or are actively advertising it.”
They threatened the whole GW community; the website, twitter and discord are now gone, as well as the hopes of anyone who boosted this last cycle of getting paid the gold they should have earned for this cycle.
Are you talking about people who “invested” in the community to get a return on their gold? I wouldn’t trust any selling community. It’s too easy to do a RMT for in game services. I’d always expect a few players to be involved with it this late in the game after a few years of the communities running. There is only so much you can buy with Blizzbucks after a while you know some players are going to start demanding real money…but that’s just my opinion.
I’d rather Blizzard pick a lane and either eliminate all boosting by making it against the TOS or just start selling their own bonus loot boxes/rare raid mounts in game for gold and get rid of it that way. Hell they probably should just put up all the previous expansions rare raid drop mounts on the store for discounted prices. You’re free to farm it but if you’re REALLY lazy Invincible is 10 bucks.
Good riddance. No more constant spam and ripping people off.

The irony. It’s OK to sell full clears and boosts for in game gold as long as you buy that gold from Blizzard.
It’s a really fuzzy line between “real money” and “in game currency” when “real money” is used to by “in game currency”.

It’s like money laundering operations.
The cartel will tell you to run your Business LEGIT, except that once a month someone will come in the backstore with a box and you just let him through. Then someone will come and pickup that box. You might not even be aware of this. But your business still will get shutdown and everyone who works there is involved and an accomplice.

Hope one “cycle” was one week or less, payable with a one week or less lag. If longer, that would have involved too much risk. But everyone has different risk tolerance I guess.
What I think Blizzard wants to avoid is having to trace specific gold flows in order to do clawbacks. That would take up a lot of resources even with semi-automated auditing. And clawbacks don’t ‘feel’ good.
So one-size-fits-all punishment. Starting in the future. Lucky for those who were involved and escaped being banned,
Having pay cycles like a real business, so they can flow their legit and RMT money together and pay you with dirty money for a “legit” service you offered.
Really funny.
If you aren’t paid at the end of the run, you shouldn’t boost. Getting in with a big organization as greedy as Gallywix was going to turn to trouble one day or another because some people want real money.

You have no idea whether they were RMT runs. You only know that you didn’t directly take real money. You don’t know whether Gallywix got paid by the customer in gold or money.
Gallywix tried to prevent people from independently taking real money because they wanted the real money to go to them, just like Blizzard is shutting down Gallywix because they wans the real money to go to Blizzard.
You’re so cute and innocent.
Adorable.

I hope you guys are aware that, in the same way that botters re-buy new accounts the second they are banned, these people will rebrand themselves and continue practicing business as usual.
You need to keep an eagle eye on this issue.

In the cases I know of, the fun appears to be in being able to win PVP combats with the resultant gear without having to be able to get the gear yourself.
I’m sure there are other situations, though. AOTC runs, for example, aren’t for gear, since M+ runs are cheaper and get better gear.
If there were a way to pay gold to avoid the tedious chores Blizzard keeps throwing into the game, I’d be tempted myself, but you still have to be on line to be carried.
That community has always done RWT for money. People have bragged all the time in twitch/disc and in game with how much they make signing up with that community, not just in gold but then selling that gold for cash.
hopefully no more spamming in trade chat, was getting quite annoying
You need to monitor areas OR change your spawn timers. A trick I see them doing now is running 5 accounts on 5 different servers, and grouping on 1 server. There are specific places where spawn timers seem to run into the 30 second range. Low HP, low coin/item value drops, but endless spawn. These guys are not multiboxing and farming, they are multibotting.
I have reported group after group. 2 were interfering with quest completion in Voldune , 1 group interfering with quest completion in Azsuna at the El dranil Shallows , in Val’ Shara at the lake by the DH Thicket, 30 second spawn at the marker…Even in talador, WOD, at teh demon spawn creaters by the tomb.
I see mostly druid teams, but I did report 1 paladin team and a hunter team. The hunters were in stormheim, haustvald, farming the 30 ssecond spawns there. Also seen warlocks doing it.
This is not “Oh, someone is farming, must be a bot” I stand, send PMs, jump in grab kills to see if there is any annoyance from the player. Spend 10-15 minutes trying to determine if it’s UAM or 1 guy with a pass through. It’s been UAm everytime. I report the player, with those random collection of syllables, and that’s it
I would suggest recoding those spawn times, or start observing them.
Now that’s what I call a gold sink. 
EDIT: You could buy 1200 long bois with that (to put it in perspective) 
I’m giggling at all of the people arguing that Gallywix is innocent because “I didn’t RMT, or people I knew didn’t RMT” like everyone just outright admits when they’re rulebreaking to every casual acquaintance they know.
