i’m a bit liberal. So as long as you do it off any public channels I’m willing to tolerate it.
And how do you suggest someone do that? Can you name a business that can effectively operate without advertising? Should I just wsp every individual I see in oribos then?
It’s called the TRADE chat channel. And let’s be honest, people rarely use trade for trade anymore. In fact, boosters are using trade chat for its intended purpose as opposed to folks who troll and argue all day.
Which is more appropriate for trade:
1: WTS +15 Mythic boosts (insert key here).
2: Oh my gosh, did you guys see (insert real world topic here)?
Before boosters, it was everyone and their mother spam linking their professions with some witty text macro. Boosters are the same thing.
That’s why some argue for at minimum a dedicated chat channel and at most a dedicated finder tool.
I suspect that if Blizzard eliminated kickback-paid ad spammers a lot of the spam problem would go away though. I don’t think there’s actually that many providers, but because the bigger players have a small army of spammers on their payroll it looks worse than it is.
Actually, I’d like to see all boosting banned. Would certainly make it easier to see who passes muster.

When you go to ah and buy things did you put the time in to earn what you bought no boosting no different. The token ain’t going nowhere and boosting is here to stay get over it. Half of you complaining surely got carried thru all the yrs you played by someone you didn’t earn it. I wish they would take the token out then you all could see what a real crappy expansion is with the few subs they have left in 2022. Then Susan express can decorate sw again.

No, they should go all the way and ban boosting entirely. They all take RMT and are hiding it as “guild” now and your obviously trying to do that OP.

If this wasn’t a Humanbeak thread I’d be a lot more mad.

Blizzard is making millions off of Diablo Immortal, so it wouldn’t hurt the revenue really.
They can make faster money with game apps; boosting is no longer a crutch for Blizzard. I agree with the Vulpera.

Blizzard should get rid of boosting. Instead of selling WoW Tokens to trade for boost for gear, they should sell the gear directly.
That way is far superior for the buyer as they don’t have to deal with extra steps in their pay to win game.
No, Ban the cheaters!
- Kill boosting entirely.
- Sell BiS gear on the shop.
- Give the gear a special designation (say, red text.)
- Only allow shop gear in instanced content with other people wearing it.
Kill trade spam, and you also don’t have to deal with boosters in your group. They can blow money to stand around in main cities believing everyone is admiring their gear when actually they’re ignoring them entirely. Everyone else can enjoy normal progression and PvP and chat channels free of them. 
I recommend you find friends and just play the game.

Nah, keep em banned
tbh boosting is lame and their advertisement can stay banned. Probably up there for the worst thing people have popularized in gaming.

Friends do favours for each other all the time. I’m still friends with someone who helped me farm larval acid in EPL for my twink’s Hide of the Wild. But why should people be entitled to buy achievements, mounts, gear and transmog from advertisements on strangers in public chat? Why should we ignore the net detriment to the game if achievements are sold in public to anyone with a credit card? Doesn’t that cheapen the game?
- Because boostees show up not knowing the mechanics of the boss and trying to facetank spirits in tyrannical spiteful.
it’s the darn scented candles she leaves on in the house i tell ya.
Ok, we can call boosting “rent-a-friend service” then. It’s the same thing regardless of whether gold is involved.
Because not all boosts are bought with credit cards.
As long as it’s not vanilla.
