Don’t bother, the guy is a clown and will never admit to being wrong
That’s where I disagree. It’s not relevant that they recoup their money faster because they would have earnt more money within two months had they invested the same amount in multiple non-boosted subscriptions.
Again, I’m not saying it’s not economically sustainable, only that it is actually an inferior option.
Their post had me laughing.
I just don’t understand how they forgot the best “fact” that the moon is indeed made of cheese…
Well he doesn’t want to admit the fact that having 3 non boosted accounts makes more gold in 3 months than 1 boosted account for the same cost… I wonder if he will admit to the fact having 3 non boosted accounts vs one boosted reduces the risk of a ban of the initial cash investment being lost within those 2 months…
After all it’s less likely that all 3 accounts get banned by the 2nd month than the one boosted account. So the risk is logically better to go with 3 non boosted accounts vs one boosted as well…
But he will likely ignore this fact as well.

That’s no fun lol. I like listening to crazies tbh.
What facts are you stating? As you are quoting me and I’ve already posted these “facts”. If it is about botter not buying boosts because they wouldn’t be profitable… That is pretty much a lie. It would by the numbers be more profitable. Slightly more profitable than having a new bot be leveled, and twice as profitable if they can program those bots to be as efficient as the best legit gold farmers that we know.
In this case, they are spending money to make more money. Something that is quite common for any business to do.
If farming efficiency is the goal in mind, you can pay for two additional accounts and save $10 instead of buying a boost for one. The amount of time saved from boosting one bot cannot compete with the efficiency of having 3 bots, especially not with the quality of the boost gear

The bots using boosts would not be more profitable.
There’s this thing called supply and demand. The supply is already in the millions of gold. The demand is lower than what non boosted bots can farm by s good margin, so why would they spend more money for no increase in product sales?
It’s a good thing I never said that, then!
Precisely. According to opponents of the boost in this thread, the boost saves a botter approximately 200 hours of /played time. And they can make a lot of gold during that time, sure.
But after that, what happens? The boost has spent 400 hours /played farming gold whereas the 3x accounts have spent the equivalent of 600 hours /played farming gold (200 x 3).
Assuming the bots can survive at least a couple of weeks it is a more profitable solution. If the bots can survive several months, having x3 more accounts become extremely more lucrative.
Botters just bot those levels, the people in the ZG’s you see? Yeah they just boosted and are paying for runs. DEBUNKED.
I agree but for slightly different reasons. I suspect a boosted and non-boosted bot have approximately the same chance of being banned. Having multiple bots doesn’t reduce risk - on the contrary, it makes it more likely one of your bots will be banned. But it does mitigate that risk by dispersing it evenly across multiple investments, whereas a boosted toon will be more susceptible to an extreme outcome.
That’s what I was saying, guess I needed to be more specific in my wording lol.

Blizz only does banwaves every 2-3 months.
Just posting what I said earlier in case of you forgot. Botters are using 58 boosts right now.
Arguments on paper are inferior to what is being practiced right now.
https://prnt.sc/13e1v4n Whitemane Horde - they didn’t respond to whispers either.
20-40+ unguilded mages in a zone known for botting
don’t reply to whispers
all level 58, the exact level you attain with the boost
Botters had months to decide what to pick - their decision is here.
if you still think otherwise, you have your head in the sand my friend.

That doesn’t disprove anything. They’re not mutually exclusive.
Respectfully, you are the one with your head in the sand. You are ignoring statistics in favour of anecdotal observations.
And as I explained to you earlier, that is all completely made up “evidence”. There are 3 names in that list that actually look like bot names, none of them even know you so of course they’re not responding to your random accusatory whispers, and Zul’Farrak is the first place I’d go if I boosted a mage too. You’re taking completely unrelated factors and forcing them to tie into your argument
YOU are the one with your head in the sand

Worth noting that, based on the user names, there are legit players who have boosted a 58 mage and are now farming gold in ZF.
And even if they were all bots, again - imagine how much more money they could be making in a fortnight had they three times as many bots doing the same thing. They’re making thousands of gold in the immediate short term at the expense of tens of thousands in the short-medium term.

Again, they do not pay the same price you do. Their accounts are made through countries where it costs less than half the price you pay.
They are definitely using the boost. I am baffled why you are defending botters.
My sentiments aren’t anti-booster, but its there. Its happening. They are testing the waters.
Let’s say it together: Bots are bad.
