they are thinking mage boosting. I am told this is harder maybe not possible.
they seem to be forgetting paladin and dk’s exist. Maybe they they need a healer…so the booster crews may be down to 2 slots. Maybe 3. they can take a leveling healer maybe for 3. they can’t afk. so maybe the booster gives them a reduced price. or slides them a HR deal.
Boosters will find a way.
You know what would have actually plummeted boosting? Dungeon finder…and Blizz removed it.

No. Seethe.
ive seen you post about this a lot, i just wanted to put my 2c in.
no GDKPs arent inherently P2W but many of them are because of the massive amount of RMT. I don’t think they should ban them, just ban the RMTers.
Yes WoW and almost any other MMOs are P2W with the amount of legal and illegal RMT in them.

But that isn’t what pay to win means…
Pay the wind would be spending real life money on items in cash shop that are stronger than items you can get by playing normally.
This does not exist in WoW.
You buying the same item others are getting for free doesn’t make the game pay to win unless that item could only be gotten by being paid for with real money

buying max level gear with cash and competing against somebody who got the same gear or worse without money is paying to win in my book. and the best thing is there’s no official definition for the term, so neither of us are right, so we can just have our opinions

The phrase was coined during mobile games where you’re literally paying to win against players who don’t spend money that’s what the win part meant.
Someone is spending money to beat normal players that that doesn’t happen in WoW because the items arent any different if you buy it.
You still have to kill the boss you still have to hope your item drops you don’t have any more lockouts and the item isn’t any stronger.
Paying to win bypasses all of that.
pay2win also means that you can buy best items in game by spending real life money, literately wow is all about this.
and i said it before there are pure pay2win korean games that doesn’t even sell you items in shop that isn’t already existing in the game, you want to get it in the game? you play for insane amount of hours but you could save time & effort and just buy it from shop, -this is exactly what GDKP’s all about, if you want to secure obtaining items 100% on it’s drop? you just buy gold and outbid anyone on every single item, meanwhile in some gdkp’s in wow, you can join the raid in blues > Die at every encounter & still buy every single item that drops.

normal players could get that same item/hero/etc it was just extremely unlikely.
paying to win means you are paying real money for bypassing in game mechanics, such as loot mechanics. Shoot, say if I went to a GDKP and bid against another player for an item, I bid legitimate gold and the other guy is bidding his RMTd gold. Is that not P2W?

Waaaaahhhhh P2W. This generation of gamers are a bunch of whiners.
Why do people feel the need to control what others spend their gold on? GDKP have been around since long before most of you kids even played WoW. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with people spending gold on gear if that’s how they want to earn their gear.
They joined a raid and the bosses died in that raid. The two requirements for them to be eligible for that gear that those bosses drop are met. End of story.
Here’s a magical idea - stop being so bad and get yourself in a position where you can join GDKPs as a carry and make tons of gold like the rest of us.

Literally the first definition of pay 2 win ok Google.
Games that let you buy better gear or allow you to make better items then everyone else at a faster rate and then makes the game largely unbalanced even for people who have skill in the game without paying.
Dude, you’ve spent like 400 bucks on this game so you can beat everyone who hasn’t spent any money. Pay-to-win noob!
Can’t do that in wow, you could argue it’s pay 2 have loot prio but that’s about it.
there is no wrong or right in here unless rules are allowed it or not, same with gold selling buying there is nothing wrong with it except that it’s against TOS, if blizzard decided to sell tokens tomorrow? i won’t even complain 
even if that will kill the game, Same with gdkp’s no one can say it’s right or wrong even if it’s killing the game.
im sorry, what dictionary is that in?
im sorry but it has happened in wow many times. if you think an RMTer has never won a bid against a non-RMTer, idk what to tell you. Loot prio is winning, thus P2W
i don’t use **** google but here is the first result

pay-to-win includes both situations where you pay to gain a clear advantage over others, as well as when you must pay to avoid grinding for an absurd amount of time.
in wow you go GDKP’s to make sure that whenever the items you want drop? you 100% get it (because it’s easy when you’re buying gold for that" and by having 100% chance to get everything you want on first drop ? that’s literately pay2win by gaining advantage over everyone else just because you’re paying real life cash.
