No one is defending botters. We’re defending the boost against people claiming it’s being abused by botters
Of course there are botters that will use the boost. Just like there are people who will level entirely solo questing even if presented with a dungeon grind option. By no means does that mean the option they picked was the efficient one
I did it yesterday… Here is another of just now.
Not the results you seem to have…
Wow so many boosters botting in zf during primetime.
No one is defending bots. Being okay with boost does not equal being okay with botters. Why are so many people coming to this same conclusion?
Exactly.
And the anti boosters only see bots.
They dont see all the new players coming in because of the boost.
It’s irrelevant. Whether they pay $1 or $100, the price of a boost is always 3x the price of a sub. The rules are therefore always the same.
I’m not defending them. In fact:
No they are actively harming the wow community by showing blizz bigger numbers. Encouraging their poor money grabbing decisions.
I mean… I remember posting in those threads, and I was never trying to say no botters would ever use the boost.
I did say it’s not as good as buying accounts for return on investment (and it’s not). I did say that the established gold sellers have more product than they can move (and they do).
But hold on, this boost was supposed to bring in an explosion of bots using it and making everything go into overdrive. These numbers don’t seem worse than what was already happening…
Where’s the botpocalypse I was promised?
Well, if you’re burying your head in the sand and ignoring the issue…that’s kinda the same thing.
Anyway, I find this thread beyond hilarious. Really shows how people are literally incapable of accepting reality and admitting they were wrong. Bots are buying boosts…just like many of us said they would.
You literally put 58 so it only shows lvl 58 chars… fake news
Ofc because thats the argument that bots will buy the boost to bot.
Im responding to a guy who ddi the same /who with level 58.
So why don t you get up to speed.
The cheap cost is lucrative. They cover it in less than day of botting. They can start at 58 instantly
Why would you think they wouldn’t use this?
Also it’s hilarious how little you know but you continue to spew nonsense as if you do.
Your just ignoring the potential to sell newly established 60 accounts when that cost math tips against their favor, clearly they arent worried about breaking the rules
You’re moving the goalposts because I never said they wouldn’t, I said they shouldn’t and I stand by that.
I agree. But it’s nonetheless more luctative to have 3x as many bots. The principle is irrelevant because the formula is always the same: A x B x C = Z (A - Hours farmed, B - Gold Per Hour, C - Number of Bots).
Since bots are more than capable of hitting 60 within one month of sub, that doesn’t hold water. But it’s an interesting perspective.
If 5 out of 100 people buy a new product then you are technically correct saying “people will buy this”
That does not mean you’re right. That’s what context is for - yes, bots will buy the boost, no there will not be enough of them buying boosts to correlate boosts to a problem of rampant botting
You could, but what would be the point? You can pay for the boost, confirm you will earn more money than you spent going into it, and have a less likely chance that character will be reported walking from the Dark portal to BRD as opposed to level 1-58 and then going into brd.
That isn’t even taking into account that botters don’t have infinite computing power. They are likely already running at botting capacity. Any new account they make will be ones replacing old ones. Not additional ones. This makes it so the whole just paying for two more accounts isn’t something that would happen. Which in turn makes it more likely they would buy the boost because it ends up being more profitable when replacing one of the accounts that got banned.
I did /who “mage 58” in my server, it shows a full list (50 players) in Zul farrak boosting people.
So yes, bots are buying boosts and they can pay its price in less than a day of work.
I can’t believe people are still denying it, just admit you were wrong, nothing wrong with that unless you were one of those idiots making fun of people who said this was going to happen, which you probably were and that’s why you will keep denying it even if it hurts the game we all play.
Im on Botmane.
And my SS above had like 3 58s…
The time it takes for a gold farmer to hit 58 by botting (or even playing) is a lot more than the time it would take them to earn the gold to pay for boost extra subscription.
What is opportunity cost. Gold farmers arent stupid. Yet it seems a lot of people replying to you are, lmao.
I can’t believe people stumble into a conversation 220 posts long, don’t read anything and presume to know what everyone is thinking and saying.
