For those streamers that do boosts

like why do you do it? does it feel good knowing your destroying this game for a couple of subs? you know once 9.1 drops your stream is gone right? better polish off that resume for mcdonalds. taco bell etc etc

There are a ton of reasons I can think up of off the top of my head on why they do it. Smooth brains can’t.

Asking them if killing some noobs in a video game for free money hurts their conscience? I’m gonna go with no bud, I think they sleep fine.

I do carries when I have time for free in lfg and personally, I enjoy it because the people you help are super appreciative and it very clearly makes their day. I don’t even think about the people I fight because frankly, I don’t tend to run into anyone twice. So if they take one loss, so be it. They’ll survive. If they don’t lose to a “booster” they’ll just complain it was gear. Or X class or Y skill or lag or their mother yelling at them. Whatever.

same, i’ll grab a 1400-1600ish healer and help them slam our 1800 and they’re always really happy about it.

2v2 has always been used as a gearing bracket anyways, you fight like 1 booster team every 10ish games. a lot of the people on the forums don’t understand the difference between a glad player boosting and a regular 1400 player with RBG gear they scream booster at both

if youre doing boosts for free and NOT to grow your stream or for RMT, then this post wasnt directed at you.

who cares though? someone is trading their time for in game currency. and it doesn’t negatively affect anyone since people buying boosts are just pvers and you fight them so rarely it doesn’t affect your mmr in the big picture

Is it? I mean blizzard loves money. I’m sure wow token sales have been through the roof this expac. Do they really wanna lose that revenue?

Well, I mean ok that’s fair but to be honest, if someone gave me something, that’d be cool. I just don’t ask or hint towards even accepting anything. I can’t really blame those that have time to play, capitalizing on it. Why does it bother you? This entire world runs off goods and services. To quote the great joker, “if you’re good at something, never do it for free.”

Awful take from most likely an awful player.

I get that. You sound like a chill person, Flapz. It just really upsets me that this game is getting ruined right now by RMT and subs for boosts by sweaty twitch boosters.

Money 10 char

no it’s not

it’s getting ruined because people figured out RBGs are really easy to get 220 gear and you’re confusing geared players with r1 boosters.

I get you have an irrational hate for streamers but you really don’t have to demean fast food workers as an insult

because you can literally not do anything else in this game as a arena player *

Soloque is not a thing and finding people to play on a decent mmr is near impossible

Honestly its not their fault but the best i find in LFG are some dewds with 2.4k max xp and hardstuck on their rating. Like at this point, for any decent player/streamer u might aswell just boost someone and get something out of it

because its not gonna be a productive session either way

Not a streamer and don’t take money or gold but as a Lock pushing rating over 2100 right now is toxic so instead I literally play with any random Disc/Holy Priest in 2s below 1800 just so they can get 1800 for the gear.

in b4 some random 1400 player says but the streamer had 40k hp and 1 shotted me and my partner1 1! 1!!
