Boost communenty still in game?

last night, i buy boost aotc for 100k gold. seller had 446 ilvl and aotc. i pay them, then i got summon to raid and it was full of different realm and seller wnated discord to talk about any issues

so i think this boosting community. i thought htey banned. seller said its just group of friends? is boost community = group of friends? i got what i paid for but seem strnage

As much as my coworkers and I being a family.

ok do i report or no

No reason to report. No one is being hurt.

ok but i thought seller had to be run, they werent, and i thought boost community were band

Did you not get AOTC? If you paid and they didn’t provide the service, you can try to report, but blizz doesn’t always give you back the gold.

so it doesn’t seem possible to you that a group of friends could decide to sell boosts?

they never give you back the gold. and in any case, there’s nothing to report here.

They mainly cut down escrow services.

Now if it’s a community of folks that are together that are doing a run, let’s say 15 folk, and you are the 16th… you give the leader 100k and it’s split several ways since cross realm trading is now a thing.

So, in theory, they are a community that sells boosts but not a quote on quote “boosting community” you know what I mean?

A boosting community is an escrow type service.

I think I said this right ._.

Didn’t she did describe an escrow? They are very difficult to understand but they said the seller didn’t even go if i’m reading that right.

Either way, I don’t want to go down a rabbit hole. I’m not emotionally invested whatsoever

i gave seller 100k before raid, but they were not in raid, other ppl instead. they said it group of friends

Blizz dont care about boosting. Always someone spamming trade every 10 seconds about boosting for aotc. What they dont want is real world money trades. Gold trades they could care less about

Ah if they weren’t in the raid then that’s massive sus then.

did you get the AOTC?.. if yes then nothing was breached… you got what was paid for… if you didn’t get aotc just ask for the money back and if not then report of scam… you might get a reply and action done or not as you took part in it…

Also your reading way to much into the “group of friends” than needed because its like your trying to find fault with them

The last “big box”/industrial-scale boosting community I remember was HUOKAN, but they seemed to quietly disappear after the policy change. No idea what the “big player” boosting community is nowadays

I assume most of the copy-pasta’ed messages being “waterfall spammed” in chat channels are RMTers or somehow connected to RMT, so I just ignore them/never visit the websites being plugged

Were you in any way harmed? Then who cares if they’re banned. Should have never been banned in the first place. They can’t advertise in trade chat. Go ahead and report that. Nothing else needs to be done about it besides getting it out of group finder.

I’d be very happy if boosting communities were allowed back, no strings attached beyond it having to be for just gold.

Banning boosting communities was just an objectively dumb and bad decision.

Why is anyone caring about this at all when op got what was offered? Making a mountain out of a molehill?

Yes, boosting communities is still a thing. Contrary to popular, yet extremely misguided, belief they have never hurt anyone or done harm to the game.

Any harm they did cause was mitigated by the services channel.

“I bought a boost with gold and got what I paid for. Do I report them for this?”

LMAO thank you for this
