Yeah. WoW blows for PvP and I’m not an achievement guy.
Oh well. I have in fact played since Vanilla. Do with that as you will. Also, one can have multiple accounts so… armory searches don’t mean as much as one would think.
I can’t parse the rest of your post. Please post again if you have additional comments.
Yes I’m American.
I didn’t make a lot of gold off of selling boost though.
I did a bit of PvP but then I hit a wall on progression where I wasn’t really going to go much further unless I took up ranked PvP.
So I leveled alts a bit but I have more fun leveling alts in Classic than I do in Shadowlands, so now I’m leveling a Shaman in Classic.
As weird as it might sound I think Shadowlands would have lasted longer for me if Blizzard didn’t design the catch up system to basically rush you up to 190-200 ilvl really quickly in anticipation that you were going to do raids, M+ dungeons, or ranked PvP.
Either that or if they had added something similar to Horrific Visions that I could just do by myself whenever I wanted. BfA caught a lot of hate, but I liked visions.
i’ve read enough of your posts to know that the reason people are mad at YOU specifically is cuz of gdkp, not boosting and selling gold. 
I have never sold gold.
I do GDKP every week though
i’ve been essentially the same ilevel on this dude since the 4th day he was 60, so i hear you. at the time i leveled him i just had to no life rares and do some WQ and i was fully maxed on my covenant gear.
Too late, you’re already here.
i wonder how many people feel so strongly about dude that they’re gonna post that. he doesn’t seem particularly well liked if this thread is any indicator. XD
I fail to see the difference between swiping a credit card to get a boost from Blizz vs. doing the same to buy gold to pay an in-game mage for the same thing. People who aren’t willing to grind levels won’t grind their own gold either. They want the game handed to them like it is on retail and they make up a sufficiently large portion of the classic player base that this is the way it’s going to be. Look at all the people yammering for qol changes. They don’t want TBC. They want (classic) TBC with all the trimmings which is not the same thing. It’s my perception that this whole thing has nothing to do with corporate greed. It’s the player base which is why I’ll just try to enjoy what we get rather than grumble about what we didn’t get.
You really don’t see the difference here?
blizz didn’t just yolo retail into being as it is right now, either. people leave feedback when they unsub. changes are made if enough people complain about x thing. all the things that happened in retail over the years were demanded loudly by SOMEONE. look at the gear issue in retail right now. it’s an over correction because people felt WQ gear tf made raid gear less valuable. when it rained from the sky it’s cuz casuals went on a crusade about how they deserved nice things as well. that will swing back and forth every few patches/alternating expansions. if you want to blame anyone for retail being the way it is, blame the players. they demanded those things.
This.
I’ve very interested to hear your distinction between the two.
the same as the difference between buying a token or buying gold off a shady website. one is provided by blizz and won’t nuke your account, the other isn’t- and could. that’s the only difference.
He’s a “look the other way when the fascists show up” sort.
You can’t be serious lol? Thought you guys knew basic economics, but I’ve been surprised before.
Buying gold from a bot, creates a demand. That demand creates more bots, thus making the bot problem, more of a problem than it already is.
Buying a boost from blizzard makes demand go down, thus reducing the amount of botting.
Are you guys seriously not capable of ANY type of thought?
That didn’t have anything to do with what he actually wrote.
buying a boost with gold bought from a gold seller vs buying a boost from blizz. i can’t spell it out any more clearly. buying gold (for any reason) without it being from a token will get you a suspension.
“. . . to buy gold to pay an in-game mage for the same thing.” Let’s keep it in context. Pay to play is the same in either case, so, yeah, there is essentially no difference that I perceive.
My problem is that I don’t see any data that supports your model. Can you provide it?
(I suspect you’re just sperging, but I thought I’d give you the chance.)
