How long will it be before Blizzard capitalizes on the pvp gold boosting scene? Will they take it over just like they did with gold sellers and offer instant Glad titles from the Blizzard Store? For the low low price of 100$ you can be a Glad too! At this point pvp titles mean next to nothing thanks to boosting.

I hope blizzard just cuts out the middle man and lets me just buy rival tier gear straight from the store. Looking for boosters on alliance sucks, yet horde can just skip on into the candy store of tichondrius.

I refuse to believe Boosting as more than a L2P issue, many of these so called “boosters” are really just rival RBG players stuck in low rating due to low skill level.
The gear disparity thing isn’t that much of an issue either considering I took a 180 lock to 1.8 with a friend of mine recently, and we’re aiming for 2.1 soon with it.
Idk I just think people need to look within before they blame things outside of them.
What do you mean how long until blizzard capitalizes? they already did with WoW tokens.
I’ve heard this conspiracy theory a lot, why do people say this? There’s millions of subscribers, I doubt they would need WoW token money when they have so many other greater sources of revenue.
Their in game shop is probably WoW’s only source of actual growing revenue now days, not sure what you mean.
Source? Last I read, subscriber revenue was still their main revenue source.
Main source =/= growth. They have bled subs since 2015. Check their financial reports, they get bumps each expansion in gross sales due to the cost of purchasing it, and routinely brag about their shop revenue.
If all they had as income for WoW was subs, investors would jump ship. No one invests in a 16 year old game that is shrinking. You milk that cow until it dries up, then take it out back and shoot it.
The in game shop is the only reason we’re all still able to play this game still.
Wrong 
Clsssic WoW requires a base sub and a lot of people play that as well, probably more so than retail once TBC comes out and I promise you that there’s no amount of cash shop in TBC classic that will have that effect you’re seeing in retail.
I think their sub numbers will only continue to grow and stay steady and while the cash shop does help, you’ve yet to provide any proof that it’s become their most profitable model even over classic wow/tbc subs.
Lol. It literally hasn’t since 2015, but okay. We’re on different planets I see.
Lmfao loses 41% of the playerbase in the xpack. But subs are growing guys! A big portion of wows money is token sales.

Did you read the next sentence of the article that explained how this is normal for any game? People come back play launch and then leave. It’s not news.

We must be from different planets because the one I’m on doesn’t have Blizzard showing a sub count, so I wonder where you’re getting all this info from about sub counts being low or w/e.
People always leave and come back during content droughts between patches, why is this a big deal?
Just got off the phone with my financial advisor
I pulled all my money out of doge coin and dumped it into wow tokens. I really think it’s the next wave

Lmfao yeah guys it’s normal for every company to just lose half their customer base months after revealing a new product.

Because during SL launch active subs probably went up 80%. Seriously how bad is public education these days

I mean you shouldn’t be buying doge coin that’s just a day trade scam session. Most lose their shirt in that.
u mean thanks to bfa’s reward restructure
more people were gladiators in bfa s4 than any xpac before it’s combined season total
and that wasn’t because of boosting
Ignore the trolls, they have no clue what they’re talking about.
Lol probably? We have no idea how much it went up. Spoiler wow didn’t just stop putting that they have 7 million players world wide for no reason. We’re really far from the old bench mark of 14million players worldwide. I guess you don’t look at long term downward trends though.
