It’s not about it being easier or not it’s about an additional source of gear in the first week when loot lockouts are hard to come by. For the rest of us who won’t kill everything in a week or 2 it doesn’t matter.
Yes but it is about it being easier.
They don’t need to fuss about with gear, and the randomness of it all, and simple just go - buy the boost and be guaranteed what they wanted to fill in that slot.
That seems to be like it’s about ‘easier’ for me and having the edge.
It does matter simply from a core-game loop point of view with regards to gearing which even if people aren’t doing the content that necessitates these actions will still feel like they want to do because they see a work around but Blizz won’t do anything about that because Ion and others there are of the agreement that they want players dabbling in every bit of content.
First, there are piloted and non piloted boosts. Piloted means the Gladiator logs into your account and plays it for you. That means the guy behind the 1800 rating account is 3000 rating.
Second, 8 gladiators with 2 guys just AFK is gonna ROFL stomp a 1800 team easily. You obviously don’t play RBG
Has nothing to do with boosting. If Team A was going to win no matter what, the problem isn’t the boost. The problem is Team B’s skill level and ability.
Sure, it sucks to know 2 people have paid to be carried, but the boost itself is not the underlying issue because at some point, Team A and Team B would have matched up and Team B still would’ve gotten steamrollered.
You are, effectively fighting against a self-handicapped team and still loosing.
Uh no top 10 guild buys tokens lol. I don’t think you realize how much gold you make from raid boosting these guilds probably went into this tier with half a bil or more banked.
Tell that to the 1800 learning groups I do all the time who beat teams like that on and off.
This is the whole “I can’t hit 1600 because boosters!” thing all over again, when you do finally find these guys in game, they’re just pressing all their CC buttons at once, overlapping, then wondering why they’re getting destroyed 5 seconds later.
Sharing accounts is against ToS but Blizzard doesn’t actually enforce it 95% of the time. Several world first guilds have been caught on stream doing this and Blizzard doesn’t seem to care.
All top guilds were doing it, you either join the club or don’t compete.
This is Blizzards problem, not BDGG’s, or Limit’s, or Echo’s. PvP gear was still too good for PvE (you could get a max level weapon LONG before a pve one)
