All boosting discs are audited. If they got away with RMT it was blizzard approved.

I’ll agree that Huokan is a bunch of knobs. But if they were actually using RMT, they would have been banned before now.

The problem is forbidding mediocre players from using their currency until they hit 1400 . This type of gatekeeping is a huge problem for the game. If players could use their earned currency, they would not need to buy a boost.

Word was over 750K in RMT profits
Word, I kinda had to graze through it. First day of the semester started and I saw Wowhead tweeted about it. Thanks
sorry to hear you’re out of a job.
just un sub if you only like the game for boosting? I can’t imagine buying boosts is even fun to begin with. Maybe playing Hello Kitty Island is more suited for you.
Why do so many people assume that buying a boost = don’t play with other players?
Are you telling me you guys think that people buy wow, buy boosts for stuff, get the carry then logout and don’t do anything else?
Good. You community boosters have infected the game for long enough. Not to be crass but I’d rather the players come back and all of you booster communities disappear. You’ve been a plague on the game for too long.

Who do you think did these boosts? The communities were basically the Uber/Lyft of boosting. They connected you the buyer with sellers and took a percentage of the sale for connecting you.

Guilds will just replace the spam.
Arena boosting isn’t going anywhere. Most people who did arena boosts will just be /2 selling 2v2 wins 200 gold each or whatever price they choose.
You can’t be this obtuse.
The people saying things are the ones who actually perform the boosts.
I don’t think boosting is to blame, more the competitiveness of the game itself.
So you get boosting because for some, maybe many, pugging is painful and not everyone is lucky enough to get into a progression guild.
So it has its place. It doesn’t ruin the game, it’s just a natural result of the gaming culture as it is.
But the continuous advertising to the point where you can’t even have or start up a conversation in trade chat because it’s like a mall filled with hyperactive sales people trying to outshout each other selling boost after boost service is more than annoying, it’s aggravating.
Their aggressive tactics have aggroed the community so Blizzard did something about it, apparently. That last part is my take on it, I could be wrong. I’m not an insider.
It’ll happen again. It’ll abate for now, things will calm down but soon enough they’ll be back at it and we’ll have that frenzied mall salespeople outshouting each other yet again.
Where do you think those boosting communities got the raiders to sell boosts from? Hint it’s from gold payouts.
Gawd is there ever a single announcement that doesn’t immediately come with the quitting time/unsub posts.
Safe gold exchanges are now out the window. These large communities were safe, but now we need to go find a street pimp.

First day on the forums?
It will drastically increase it since guilds themselves will have to spam instead of just being slotted by the discords.
