Probably useless post, but trying to be as verbal regarding this horrendous change as possible so blizzard can reconsider… Who asked for this? Most of the people who are boosting are at least ACTUAL players. Throughout anniversary its been made clear that services are allowed as long as they are kept in proper channels. 18 months of precedent has kept that true. Why change it now? This change also seems to only effect players in one way or another. This change does NOTHING to combat the botting that is the true issue. So again who is this for? Who is it helping? I can’t think of any reasonable answers to those questions. So why make the change?

Because blizzard is tone deaf. As a rogue who dropped leatherworking because financial concerns in favor of mining. Open world is picked clean so I’ve gone into SV, which means I can only really mine 5 instances per hour, so NOW when I kill some mobs in SV by myself, I get 0s0c and no drops from the mobs… killed 3 just to make sure it wasn’t chat log lying to me. Literally nothing for soloing a lvl 70 elite, just because I’m inside.

because blizzard thinks the only way to make it fair is to make it suck for everyone this is what happens when they want to make sure no one feels left out.
This is my guess too. Could be a 70 boost in the future and/or Token. We thought Activision had capitalist intentions, they were nothing compared to MS.
I don’t even think they listen to reddit. I’m pretty sure it’s 1 unpaid intern asking microslop AI what he should do, and after explaining to the AI that there aren’t any other people in the office to do a drunken cubicle grope crawl with, the AI suggests this.
Getting rid of Character Leveling Boosts for Gold is a good thing.

There’s no reasons to put the blame on something like Reddit or whatever, Blizzard (and a lot of players) want to get ride of boosting so that’s what they did, they just did it poorly as usual.
No one asked for this is correct.

I mean deleting the servers would technically solve every problem the game has right now. Might as well at this point.
When the founding fathers of blizzard were falsely accused of this, the game was good.
Figure it out.
I hope you experience what Kerri Moynihan did. 
Boosting for gold is a plague and should result in an account closure
This is the next best thing
Ok psychopath with half or less of her story, wishing suicide upon others.
Highly against TOS.
But, hey, I guess that’s small potatas for a psycho 
I am so glad Everquest Legends is coming out in June…..this tbc experience has been nothing but a slog fest. between the tank shortage and them not offering some incentive so we can get tanks, to all these stupid little changes they keep making that are so out of touch with the playerbase its unreal….I know they can’t ban every single bot or cheater in the game, but instead of watching bots get banned we watch this silly dungeon change happen, where my healer misses loot every so often because im drinking between bigger pulls. disgusted.
They have made a clear stance against boosting, have made changes in the game to prevent boosting, and yet in every zone and everywhere you go there’s still people spamming about selling boosts.
You get whispers from people selling you boosts when trying to level an alt.
They found they had to make another change to keep in line with their decision.
Ran multiple dungeons last night and I saw no change whatsoever. Same as the last time they made changes against boosting.
I will tell you that most likely the change was not in a void, but a preparation for something like the Protocol Alpha heroics we saw in WOTLK, and possibly dungeon changes for Classic+.
It is a crap shoot when viewed in isolation.
The shareholders did, but certainly no players. 
No. The shareholders would rather the company close all the games down and direct the servers to AI SLOP which would make them infinitely more money right now.
Changing your drug dealer doesnt fix your drug problem
The problem is character boosting for gold is almost unaffected (just buff/use scroll on booster when he starts to kill mobs and you get full xp), but the actual people playing the game now have to face issues like not being able to get trash epics from kara cuz they were drinking while mob was killed
