Boosting is wrong, but how pro can make a living?

Kakireborn-proudmoore · February 25, 2021, 9:24pm

Apparently a lot of pro players recently get banned form boosting/coaching. But they had a point, wow pro players probably make less than 1/1000 of what good league of legends players make. Honestly 1/1000 of Faker’s income is probably more than all of those wow pro players combined.

So as most people said those boosters should get a “real” job and only play wow casually. Then gradually everyone won’t have the time to practice and people become bad? then AWC isn’t even fun to watch and game just die.

Glad in arena doesnt make you a pro player

Watchdawg-faerlina · February 25, 2021, 9:25pm

This is the correct answer.

Dillon-sargeras · February 25, 2021, 9:27pm

Tbh I think some players could do better making themselves more marketable for orgs and stuff

One thing I noticed was hardly anyone likes using the player cams for AWC

I bet doing stuff like that would at least get them paid more money from top orgs. But with no money from that and an unsustainable amount from prize pools ya it sucks for sure

Covlol-illidan · February 25, 2021, 9:27pm

Its already not fun to watch.

Break the rules and face the consequences.

Watchdawg-faerlina · February 25, 2021, 9:29pm

The problem is this world makes such a huge point of being above the law as long as you’re part of the elite and then people think of themselves as “elite” and assume rules won’t apply to them.

I actually really enjoyed the prot pally games from the AWC and I still have no idea why.

Gwenswan-zuljin · February 25, 2021, 9:31pm

Some matches in the awc weren’t too bad to watch. Especially the ones with underrepresented specs.

Dillon-sargeras · February 25, 2021, 9:32pm

It’s because it’s something new for one, and also because prot paladins healing is most effective when people get to really low HP amounts, so you see health pools constantly spiking and you think someone is going to die when they’re actually absolutely fine

It makes it really exciting to watch even though as far as the game is going, they might not actually be in any trouble - it’s just really that efficient to let people get that low

And an unconventional pick helps with that too

They can go get a real job or play a real pvp game.

Kirkoh-illidan · February 25, 2021, 9:33pm

There’s older MMO’s with better PvP systems in place, still running without people “coaching / carrying”, so I’m not sure why, or what, would make you think the game would “just die”.

They should get a real job, there’s literally no reason not to unless they are some multi-million viewer streamer.

Fylerz-blackhand · February 25, 2021, 9:44pm

Different games, different term of services

Shakabe-korgath · February 25, 2021, 9:46pm

I’m so happy that Blizzard is starting to ban these boosters, for once let’s all applaud Blizzard

Frankendude-tichondrius · February 25, 2021, 9:51pm

No one cares about WoW. Its a dying game and has been since WoTLK. The only people still playing are boomers.

If the LoL and Fortnite kids played WoW the current top wow players wouldn’t be top wow players.

Miezhu-wyrmrest-accord · February 25, 2021, 9:58pm

Maybe if Blizzard actually paid their winners (or their employees, for that matter.)? Kotick doesn’t need another yaht.

Watchdawg-faerlina · February 25, 2021, 9:59pm

Or if you’re really skilled controlling things through computer programs there are all sorts of satisfying and rewarding careers in that skill set.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Unmanned Submarines, EOD disposal robots, test pilots just to name a few

I’m sure the people currently piloting the Perseverance Rover grew up playing video games and probably still do

Sinira-nemesis · February 25, 2021, 9:59pm

If we think about it, giving Twitch Bits to a streammer so he can “play a few games with viewers” is a quite common pratice since forever … what’s the difference between this and RMT?

Let’s say, somebody “donate” 5,000 Bits to a top arena player for a 2 hrs coaching session … is that any different from what got other players banned? In the end of the day is a money transation (indirectly, but still)

Ìlyena-nordrassil · February 25, 2021, 10:01pm

No argument here whatsoever. Also why I said learn to code.

Frankendude-tichondrius · February 25, 2021, 10:01pm

Streamers literally sell glad boosts on their stream from someone donating hundred of gifted subs. No wait they’re friends. He was just playing with a friend.

For people to not play and watch warcraft pvp its really boring. The game is one of the most complex esports to watch. Each class is much more deep than any 10 league characters.
