All the non-swipers are already quitting cause no one wants to farm all week to buy one flask for 200g. Meanwhile, blizzards more worry about the transfers not working. Such a good 20th anaversy can’t wait to see how classic + fails at this rate.
I know it’s shocking to hear, but most players aren’t intentionally breaking TOS.

There are ways around the aoe cap, you would just change boosting not do anything to eliminate it. This would only ruin leveling as a mage for legitimate players.
No they aren’t, raiding population continues to grow week over week. I would agree that people who were leveling on pvp may end up swapping to pve though since its much less heavliy rmt’d.
PVP tax go brrrr
It actually is, if you aren’t terminally online living in a toxic echo chamber you realize the vast majority is having fun and doesn’t care about the issues
PvE is also steadily rising in RMT. This was focused on the Dreamscythe server. A PvE server.
If PvP is having card swipers to have gear so they don’t get one shot in the open world by higher level players, that’s an issue for a different thread all together.
Sadly both servers by core mechanics run differently and will have different issues.
I am on dreamscythe and flasks have gone from 60g to 80g, its not a huge jump. Its nothing compared to the rmt on NS.
PVP just attracts the type of player who would swipe to get an advantage
I blame gacha games for that mentality of attracting swipers. I’m sure 20 years ago it was never that bad.
It was, but instead of people swiping for gold they just botted their own account. Blizz created the current RMT/bot situation by taking legal action against any company who sold botting software to the general public.
But we’re also at a point that it’s neck deep enough that we cannot just put a band-aid on it and pretend it doesn’t exist either. If Blizzard silently banned it without legal action 20 years ago, it probably wouldn’t have sky rocketed in Wrath or later.
Why not?
Because it’s the newest.
The newest CoD is more popular than the oldest one.
They do affect you.
Player A, Player B, and Player C start playing at the same time.
Player A doesn’t buy gold or boosts.
Player B doesn’t buy gold but got really lucky on a drop and started buying boosts.
Player C is a filthy cheater and bought gold specifically to boost and buy gear.
Player B and C reach level 60 before player A and can actively prevent Alayer A from leveling because they have a level advantage from boosting.
Player C also has the best gear you can buy the whole way to 60 so any time they’re out in the world even if they’re the same level as Player A they win all PVP engagements because they have better gear.
Permaban people who cheat, it’s the only way.
Every MMO ever only gives out suspensions for cheating unless you get suspended repeatedly then they might ban you after 3-5 suspensions.
It should be 1 Strike you’re banned, do not pass go, do not collect $200

They shouldn’t play on pvp, that fixes your issue. PVP servers cause the majority of the RMT issues
Yes, but it doesn’t work, they make new accounts
Ban those too.
Keep banning them when they cheat.
Eventually they’ll get tired of “wasting” money on gold when they get banned.
The majority don’t get caught, it will just eliminate a small amount of it
I log on the internet and my microsoft home page comes up with a link to a third party gold selling and boosting site. Microsoft owns blizzard. So if Microsoft is accepting ads from third party gold making sites then they obviously dont care. And this isnt just happening today, this has been going on for quite a while. Its 2025, nothing matters anymore all they want is cash.
Who has Microsoft as their homepage?
Well boosting was live and well in 2004, I really hope the op doesn’t think that wow creating boosting as it existed long before wow and yes this even included paid boosting in vanilla, like many other things, in fact RMT also was a huge problem in Vanilla, so the original poster is simply wrong about pretty much everything, so yes people are playing like they did in 2004.
Also nobody ever played like everyone was part of their community, at best you had groups of guilds that cooperated and people loosely identified with their faction as they do today, but the divide between the casuals and the sweaty players was huge, in fact thats probably the only real difference, the causals now expect to be invited and carried by the sweaty players, in 2004, they just did their own thing.

Yep
“Please note, however, that use of all software or hardware mechanisms used to mirror commands to multiple World of Warcraft accounts at the same time, or to automate or streamline multiboxing in any way may result in account penalties.”
That’s what multi boxing was, before the ban. Nice gotcha but, better luck next time.
Are you being intentionally dense?
You made up a definition of multi boxing to fit your argument. Hilarious.
Notice they said they banned mirroring commands or streamlining commands, they didn’t ban multi boxing itself.

Yep.
My first 60’s slow brew the “proper” way.
when 60 they will farm their butt off. the blood elf or space goat (I level 1 each side) to come…will partake of 25 gold for 5 runs on RFC and such. In game money.
7 days in a week, 7 days to make gold as desired is the goal.
what that dude will do with my gold…is not my problem. The same courtesy I give AH sellers. I don’t ask what they do with the gouged price money either.
My skinners hide drop rate sucked, they have the hides I need. I dont hate the player, I hate the (RNG) game lol.
I’ve many hours in stone talon. I can say with certainty…my blood elf to come will not feel less about themselves for not doing the same.
they need to get used to that. TBC gives a mild pay raise.
25 gold for some RFC boosts won’t be “hours” of labor. It be players like me going I’d rather the blood elf leveled faster. I don’t need the flying right away.

No I didn’t, multi boxing before the ban was using programs to mirror key presses. Eg the 20man mage team camping BWL entrance with 1 person playing them all. People having multiple wows open was not considered multi boxing.
Are you really that dense?
