ZERO world pvp
Chat spammed to know end by indo gold farmers/sellers.
BOOSTING for gold is MORE lucrative than GDKPs. Ban BOOSTING and keep them both banned.
No World in world of warcraft is trash

There was a Reddit thread today or maybe yesterday where the guy posted an image and complained about getting scammed by a booster.
The comments tore him apart for paying to not play the game. I don’t think it’s the response he expected. But it was great to read.
Yeah, it should be banned. Most people would support such a ban.

Agreed, they wouldnt even have to “ban” it. Just turn exp of if some in your group is to high of a level.
Classic isnt meant for people to have a bunch of max level characters

IDK what this has to do with boosting. The game is very max-level heavy once most of the players have leveled, but that seems orthogonal to World PVP, which seems to be primarily replaced by Battlegrounds, but you don’t mention BGs in this post.
With regards to gold sellers/botters/cheaters in general, yes go ahead an ban them.
Maybe! I personally think it’s a ridiculous thing to complain about, but I also haven’t spent a lot of time, gold, or effort on getting boosted or on boosting.
I leveled 4 characters during WoW Classic, prior to the launch of TBC Classic, almost exclusively through dungeon grinding, but that is what I personally enjoyed, and I put together dungeon running communities to support that, which also takes some effort.
What it seems like to me is people who are complaining, while taking absolutely zero personal responsibility are actually doing is saying, “I don’t like the way some people are playing. Ban them.” But what they really mean is, “I want someone to build communities around the way I want to play, but I won’t bother doing a single thing for myself. I also love complaining.”

just put lfg in a diff tab? if u have had trade and lfg in the same one ya i can understand. but i changed that and i dont even notice how most spam there is for boosts anymore
Banning requires enforcement, otherwise what’s the point? Boosters maybe get suspended for a week every 6 months?
Changing how XP works in dungeons is sufficient: if the final boss is ‘gray’ to any member in the party, XP gains are reduced by, say, 90%. Players will still buy boosts to complete quests in Deadmines, Stockages, Ragefire Chasm, and Wailing Caverns -or- when farming specific drops, but the pay-to-afk from Level 10 to Level 60 is significantly reduced. And with less 24/7 boosting, there’s less RMT. Apparently that’s an issue Blizzard is always fighting (and losing), so reducing the effectiveness of AFKing in dungeons to Level 60 would also reduce some RMT.
Similar was done in Season of Mastery or so I’m lead to believe.
But y’know … AAA Developer and only the most talented Devs. Still can’t figure it out.

Pretty simple logic bud… when over half the population is leveling through boosting… That would mean WAY less people out in the world…
One of the best parts of fresh classic IS THE world pvp while leveling. You guys have carebear pve servers if you don’t want to get ganked.

100% agree with the OP.
The real classic playerbase needs to demand that Blizzard bans Level Boosting Services for Gold.

Nice ad hominem
Anyway, if you’re brand-new to Classic, I suppose you’ve missed quite a few years and restarts. Battlegrounds have such a massive impact on World PVP that there is nothing else that even comes close.
In any case, what you seem to be saying is that people who boost would otherwise be playing through normally, and looking to actively engage in PVP. I doubt that that is the case, but that’s your opinion versus my opinion, and fair enough; we have different opinions.
World PVP during P2 of OG Classic was peak. I’ve also found decent W PVP on Classic progression servers by rolling the low pop faction on almost 100% single faction servers. Especially around daily quest zones, but that’s unrelated to Era.
I don’t think there’s anything stopping you from engaging in it, other than lack of players who agree with you. Again though, that’s an opinion and perhaps they would attempt a ban on boosting as they have with GDKP.
i dunno why blizzard is playing the sleeping beauty
-people with new accounts in anniversary buy gold to buy leveling boosts
-those mages boosting 24/7 doing nothing else but boosting and selling the gold
-leveling boosts is never healthy for an mmo-rpg. & No just because you leveled a class once, twice or more then you expect to pay to skip playing and get another character to max level by just afk’ing in dungeons.
This is simple to do. If youre partied with someone that the mobs are gray to and they do a single point of damage during combat, experience is reduced by 99%. This eliminates all but i want to say Mara and ZG boosting. For those youd need far more specialized anti boosting features tailored so that a normal group wouldnt trigger them.

If you’re scared of open world pvp just say that. There isn’t any need for you to try and get cute with “quote pasting” and editing. I don’t read it anyways.
You literally have PVE servers to hide from world pvp.
BOOSTING on pvp server 1000% against everything wow classic is about.
Right. Anyway…
Then there is zero conversation or communication.
I understand your point. I disagree, but maybe they could do a PVP server that bans GDKP and Boosting, and one that allows them. I think that would be a workable solution for either side of the argument.
So you’re okay with people completely skipping the leveling process in classic wow?
Only 2 reasons you would think that is a good idea, well 3 but I would get banned for saying the 3rd.
You get ganked in open world or are afraid of pvp in general. That is fine they have PVE servers for you so its all good.
Or you’re a retail player.
BOOSTING is another RMT’rs Dream. They need to UNBAN GDKPS or BAN Boosting you can’t have it one way or the other and use the “Gold selling/RMT” excuses.
Yes, I am.

That is why nothing you say will ever be taking seriously when it comes to classic wow. You have to be a retail player with that awful mentality.
Why would you pay for a game and then not play it? Thats super weird
WoW Classic. And I’m happy to have my own opinion, while you are entitled to yours.
Your opinion is wrong. Its not even remotely close to being valid. You have not stated a single reason why boosting is good for wow classic…
There are so many reasons why it absolutely hurts wow classic.
The RMT is really the only one you need to see. They literally banned GDKPS because of the RMT. That fact alone is enough for your opinion to be thrown into a garbage bin.
While this might be your opinion, mine is that they banned GDKPs because of whining crybabies.
but again…
And again you’re factually incorrect making it “NOT” an opinion.
You can’t say its an “opinion” when there is factual evidence to say otherwise.
The game devs have stated exactly why they banned GDKP’s. Its not up for debate, they gave you the sole reason.
You’re opinion needs to say “Well like okay man, I think they’re lying”… You’re trying to word it cleverly and its not working and doesn’t even make any sense.
You can’t give any reasons why you think Boosting is good for classic?
And your opinion is “they’re lying about GDKPS”… Just say that
