Do NOT Ban Boosting Communties!

Please go tell this story on the arena forums. If I am proven wrong I will tell you I am sorry.

Okay? So now they have to play the rest of the game.
Oh no! Whatever will those fragile raiders do?

400k+ in just raw gold. Excluding AH sales.

its funny becuz if you have a pally its a good way to make money so you can buy consumes for raid 10g a run 4 ppl 160g full lock outs helps alot not counting the loot you get

  1. Unnecessary elitism coming from a casual player. That makes literally no sense.
  2. If you really think that you’re out of your mind.
  3. Deflation isn’t a good thing. In easy words for you: deflation means reduced economic growth.

A single week for standard raid work is currently giving me around 300k without doing stuff like aotc spam or key sells. You are out of your mind if you think most raiders are going to start learning to ah flip or doing callings or other junk instead of just quitting.

I did check. Your Warrior got his first 1550 December 6th 2021. That is this season dude. 5 weeks later you are 2400, that is either a boost or you will be better than Mud in 6 months.

The amount of coping and seething is glorious. This is a good start for Blizz to right the wow ship.

I don’t think they’d quit, Blizz better do something about pot+mat costs though.

I remember in Legion when flasks were 1k+ per at the start of the xpac, I can’t afford that :laughing: glad I don’t raid anymore.

I think banning boosts will help the game long term. I’m not sure how it got this off the rails in the first place

Do you want me to log into it right now and take a screenshot of the season 1 rival it had?

I want you to go to the arena forums and tell this story.

because they just banned advertising for it?

Boosts aren’t banned, boosting communities are.
This puts an even greater emphasis on large realms as people who want boosts will now likely transfer to continue to buy boosts.

So they can’t:
Farm mats
Sell BoE from the current tier
Do a calling
Sell their own boosts
Other “junk”

Raid or die while someone sells their services or quit are the only two options?
Sounds like the game might be better off without the 1%ers who need someone else to do all their tasks they deem beneath them.

No they didn’t. Re-read it again.

No they didn’t, they banned boosting communities

This policy update does not restrict individuals or guilds from using the provided in-game tools (“trade channel” chat) to buy or sell in-game items or activities for in-game currency. However, “boosting communities”, especially those who operate across multiple realms, are no longer permitted.

If you truly think wow was created with the intent that you buy a carry, there’s no arguing with you.

The change, while I personally think it’s ultimately a step in the right direction, only really fixes a symptom of the problem; there’s far too many barriers to entry for the average player before they can actually start realistically accessing endgame content. Game needs less systems and grinds.

I already see people who are complaining how they’ll get their boosts now on extremely small realms and that Blizzard really didn’t think that through. Some people are acting like boosting is an integral part of official content that players need to have access to, lol.

I was around during legion where you were basically forced to play the game 24/7 at the high-end for ap in the grind prior to tov. I was casual half my friends list went dark after their helya kills and has never come back. The only fun things in this game are raiding pvp and for some m+ if you have to do stuff outside of those to earn gold suddenly spending so much time on this game seems rather wasteful.
