Thats like 90% of the classic player base bro.
Had no idea that watching a YouTube video showing you how to exploit pathing and AoE down MoBs = “skill”.
LOL!! 
Thanks.

Does remulos have players to boost?
Edit: Dang, 2000 alliance. Not bad.
lol ur an idiot, it takes a lot of experience and knowledge to get these pulls down, thats why theres only a handful per server who can do some versions of these pulls efficiently . So if i pay for guitar lessons its not skill if i get better?
thats a result of the game’s design. whats easier? getting 4 other people ready to go do scarlet monastery or pay 10 gold (or however much, idk) to have a lvl 60 who does it all day clear it for you?
ok, so create more work for people since they are getting paid to do a job, and they have no right to complain… got it… I won’t put my shopping cart back next time i go to shop and will leave my junk lying around for the workers to pick up. They are not equal to the customer when doing a service… ur logic sounds like a superiority complex gone bad.
They are paying you for a service stop crying and do your job. If you don’t like boosting for gold then farm in other ways.
As others have stated it comes with the territory. Ppl buy boosts to bypass content and get to max easier and most from what I’ve sold to are either: A.) Bots or B.) ppl working off screen so they throw their toon in a dungeon and move them every 10-15 minutes for easy and basically automated leveling.
Someone else said it but just make a macro of what is expected and state that repeat offenders of screwing up the pull will get booted and blacklisted. Hell on Grobb there’s so few boosters for SM/Mara now it’s more profitable to do those than ZG because every leech made a mage alt to make gold and no one wanted to learn the lower boosts and jumped straight to ZG. 300+ Mara pull is a huge selling point and also has arguably the biggest chunk of levels to have customers from (30-50).
Not at all. Playing the guitar requires skill. Pathing exploits only require a YouTube video showing you how to do it.
Very different things.
Thanks.

I don’t understand your response Alaska. Of course, someone giving you gold for a boost is your customer.
If your post was just your “I want to complain” vent that’s fine.
If you really want a solution then the answer is to ask a few questions before inviting people (to make sure they can stay etc) and make a macro with your preferences (such as them opening a window to give you gold not the other way around, asking them to stay back away from mobs etc). This will solve most of your complaints. This is what everyone else does.
If you’re just here to vent that’s fine though.
If you have never done it I would very much enjoy watching a video of your first ever attempt
I don’t really think it’s a generational thing since so many age groups play. I feel it’s more of a shift in society.
hmm ok but i picked up a guitar and a week later i was playing songs that i learned from youtube. I guess by ur logic watching video and learning something and perfecting it cannot be deemed as skill.
When something doesn’t get answered nor makes sense, I have to.
I understand we’re talking about Boosting Ads. Boosting Ads and actual Boosting are two different things.
Leveling is not hard, in either Retail nor Classic. Retail has Level Boosts, for IRL money. Classic does not. The XP Grind is still in tact. One does not simply become level 60, in Classic, upon a Boosting purchase.
There’s possibilities for scams on either end. The one being boosted doesn’t pay the actual Booster, or the Booster takes the payment but doesn’t boost. There’s no solid guaranteed the transaction, itself, equals the act of Boosting has occurred. I’ll never pay to be ran through any Dungeon, when I can get it free. If that culture wants to waste their gold, that’s their business.
Boosting groups are still groups. One high level runs a few lowbies through dungeons. Taking the payment out of the equation, and it’s still a group. I’ve offered to run lowbies through WC, for free, and used the Trade and LFG Chats, for anyone interested. It is still a group whether you’re paying to be there or not.
No, Trading Groups are non-existent. It isn’t required to be grouped in order to perform trading. Being in a group is required for Dungeons and Raids to ensure you’re all under the same lockout. Boosting (paid or not) falls in this category.
I was stating your analogy is a false equivalency to “hindering” your experience. It may be annoying, but it hasn’t stopped you from watching TV. Therefore, it hasn’t “hindered” you.
Well first, that’s rude. Second, post from your main. And third, cry me a river 
Hard in the sense it takes time, you have to go trough the journey and not just buy your way out. Seriously, buying boosts and going afk in a dungeon … not much difference than buying an instant top level. Both are far from the leveling experience in classic. Both are really close to retail.
Really not convincing to say the least. Yeah yeah they are still “groups” but you’re just playing with words really. Boosting “groups” are not legit groups. At the very minimum they shouldn’t be allowed to post in the lfg group. It’s a travesty.
Well gold farmer hasn’t stopped me from watching TV either but in their case it’s against the official rules. Besides, your missing the point. Most of the boosties are just lazy people buying gold and paying their way to 60. By doing so they inject illegitimate tons of money in the game, ruining the economy in the ah for legit people trying to buy stuff. So yeah it has a real impact in the game.

I practiced every day until my fingers bled, for years. Now I have finally mastered my art and can farm mara. I jump back and forth from the little rock, press blizzard, and keep my shield up.
WHO AMONG YOU HAS SUCH DEDICATION

Your dedication to exploiting the pathing of a 15 year old game is indeed noteworthy!! Those skills will serve you well. 
Thanks.

Time Consumption =/= Level of Difficulty
I’m going to use your Trading Goods example here, now. “Having to go through the journey” via gathering the materials, yourself. Instead of just “buying your way out” via purchasing said materials from another person.
There’s a lot different with it. You’re not instantaneously max level upon purchasing a “Boosting Service” from a max level character. A lot of XP grinding still needs to occur. Which, again, scams do happen/occur. Just because a payment is made, doesn’t mean a “Boosting Service” occurred.
Who’s to say what is and isn’t considered to be “the Classic experience”? I’ve been playing this game for a long time and Dungeon Boosting has been around, for as long as I can remember.
It is convincing because you caved to accept that they are still “Groups”.
No, you are. You want to claim them as “not being a group” while still stating “OK, yes, they’re still a group”. No matter how much you don’t like something, Boosting Groups are still Groups.
Here we go, NOW we’re getting somewhere. Who’s to determine what’s considered to be a “legit” group or not? If we’re not supposed to be grouped with higher leveled players, then we wouldn’t be able to be grouped with higher level players.
This is an MMO. There are other players (not necessarily the same level as you) around. I don’t find anything wrong with engaging with other players (as long as it’s not harassment) regardless of their level. I don’t charge for my “services” (if you want to call it that). If I want to help other players reach a goal, I should have every right to help them, if I so choose (I don’t always do). If I feel like helping a bunch of lowbies run through WC once (I don’t run it multiple times), I should have every right to do so.
I consider it to be helpful. Especially, as a member of the Alliance, WC is a pain to get to, “normally”. On top of offering my WC Service, I’ll journey with them (mountless, 'cause these lowbies don’t have mounts) to collect the “out of the way” FPs like Ashenvale, Azshara, Ratchet, BB, etc. I even ensure they grab all the quests, if possible. Usually, there’s only one Quest they can’t pick up because of the Quest Chain, for the Oozes.
I even give them Ports (one of the Quests requires a journey back to Darnassus). Why can’t I do these things? Why can’t I create a positive experience?
Disagree because they are still a group, looking to fulfill their group. Just like with “legit” groups, it’s up to us (those not in the group) to decide whether or not we would like to engage and/or partake in said Groups.
And, higher levels running lowbies through a bunch of dungeons is NOT against the rules.
*you’re
And, I’m trying to understand your point. Hence, why I’m asking you questions about it. To better understand your position.
You’re presenting two different topics, here. Obtaining gold through illegal means is an entirely different subject matter than paying to be ran through dungeons.
If these people are obtaining their gold through legal means, they can’t be “lazy”, as you claim them to be. They’re entitled to spend their gold, as they please. I’ve given lowbies gold, before. That doesn’t make them “lazy” nor my offering an “illegal” matter. I’m going back to the “this is an MMO” argument.
Not saying we HAVE to engage with each other, but the practice of engaging with others (regardless of level nor how rich / poor we are) is not an “illegal” matter. In fact, I encourage that kind of positive energy and atmosphere of making good and honest deals/engagements. For the health of an MMO.
No, those buying gold or obtaining gold through “illegal” means is ruining the economy. Not Boosting, in and of itself. Those are two different things.
actually it brings me joy and i find it fun, so thanks it does.
