Should not be allowed.
Zero craps about boosting in PVE, you are not making anyone else waste their time.
Player VS player should NEVER be allowed to boost.
That or make them boost at their own rating. Getting 2.5k in 3s then boosting 2s should not be allowed. Tanking rating to boost should not be allowed.
Weekly win with a lower cr player? Jail.
Helping a pve-only friend get an elite set? Jail.
Queuing with a buddy who wants to setup an alt? Jail.
Playing an (undergeared) alt below your mains mmr? Believe it or not also jail.
yeah people really love it when people in M+ have no clue what they are doing because they bought got boosted for the mount
Okay but the same goes for arena rating except you are wasting everyone’s time during the climb and making the whole system very toxic. Sick of fating seasoned gladiators in the 1600-1800 bracket.
Just…glance over their keystone history? If they have a single timed +15 with 3500 io players then a couple +5 depletes then MAYBE they aren’t the one to invite?
Yes you are. There’s tons of people who get boosted in pve and then try to pretend it’s legit to get invited to runs.
While pretty much everyone agrees with this the reality is it’s beyond difficult to actually prove a boost from legit gameplay. Too many people play with friends or do stuff that would look like boosting at a glance.
The fact you’re suggesting this means you don’t understand the game at all.
Although you are beating the horse, I agree wholeheartedly.
You like to make a lot of whiney threads, don’t you?
Kennie you are my favorite fox poster.
Stay mad stay bad
From a different perspective I agree with you; reason being that the boosting kills low end player participation in turn killing low mid range participation, that in turn kills high mid participation…
TLDR the “boosting” kills participation, and its not a thing that can be easily policed. The only way to really get rid of the bulk of it is simply killing off rating and power gains that come from PVP.
If the PVP gear was more MoP style with resilience instead of “Versa” this way it both takes up item level AND is a useless stat in PVE, this would make the whole “Boosting” thing less frequent (there is no magic bullet tho).
Also going back to Resilience included in the item level, takes away the PVE players getting a boost for Raid loot; this instead makes PVP gear BiS for PVP and PVE gear BiS for PVE in most situations.
Not a bad thing, IMO long as they keep season per season gear (PVE / PVP) within say 10% of eachother in terms of performance cross platform, AND make sure that PVE loot / PVP loot is no more than 5% better than previous season; this would kill off a lot off the bullcrap seen in the forum in terms of complaints.
BUT in before “BUT MAH GOTTA UPGRADE THE LOOTS, I NEED SOMETHING TO CHASE”… shuttupa your face.
second this
when do I get my double warrior ques
The only way to remove boosters from playing is leveraging the “max” cr for the season; not allowing any players with a “max” cr difference of 100-150+ points to play with each other up to 2400+.
i.e a 2800 max player cannot player with 2399 player but can play with a 2400 player.
This can also remove the rating drop farming strat for alt gear buy doing a negative MMR where you cannot drop below a certain bracket of rating for the season. i.e a 2800 player cannot drop below 2600 rating by losing 0-1 points per loss.
