Good ole boy system has to go. After reading this, I would not be surprised some higher ups have a hand and make money from selling boosts. What a perfect way to rake in the cash. Break the game. Secretly sell boosts to under geared people. Never make any changes to fix the game. Create ridiculous Ilevel gaps, take away the living world, the community. Make it a small sandbox. Make everyone feel as if you dont have the best gear you cant do much in the game. The no lifers get the best gear, certain people at bliz helps those certain no lifers sell boosts for real money because casuals still want to do the content, but in no way have as much time as no lifers. Certain no lifers and bliz staff pocket the cash. Tax free.
If the IRS gets on their case about their inaction against real money carries, it’d be a full circus, wouldn’t it?
Yep, but my guess they do in smaller transactions to help circumvent this as much as possible. There was no reason to create the ilvl gap. Nothing would explain it realistically. Its easy for them to mask it, as progression, and time played. But with what they allow in this game with a blind eye. Someone at blizzard is profiting from boosts. Not the character boost, the rating and mythic boosts
Of course they are. Have you ever noticed that WoW tokens sell for 20 bucks and the reward is 30 days of game time?
