Why not? If the players can do it, why not the Devās? Tho it explains why they wonāt crack down on it.

Wow. Actually Iām kind of shocked. I am one of the few around here that really enjoy the game but this upsets me as what is the point of the game being an mmorpg at this point? Gear needs to be earned not bought. At least we know they donāt care about boosting, and there is probably no hope for pvp.

I donāt get how people can defend boosting. Why are you even playing the damn game.

i donāt want anybody punishedā¦ are you mad bro?
I just wish the tokens were used only for game time and that they removed the gold from the game, and everything was done via chain questsā¦ (including how to get the token - since getting gold is a grindā¦)
ā¦it would be interesting to see the despair of some people.
and has been since the early days of the game.

No. Theyāre not.
Honestly, it might have been fine back in, you know, MoP or earlier. When most servers didnāt even have guilds offering carries, and if they did (barring the few overpopulated servers), it was probably āthat one guildā at the end of the expansion, not even each patch.
But itās clearly gone beyond that. Every single realm with enough people worth advertising to has endless chat spam from bots and players being paid commissions for securing sales for their carry communities ā not to mention the Premade Group spam. Carrying is no longer a niche end-of-xpack maybe itās there maybe itās not thing you can mostly ignore, itās essentially a primary part of the progression ecosystem. Itās normal now. And thatās why itās a problem.
Itās not healthy when something like that becomes normalized.
No, itās not breaking the ToS. But that just means the ToS needs to be changed. It needs to be treated like in-game Casinos ā in that the act of carrying isnāt bannable, because itās unenforceable, but publicly advertising it in-game in any capacity IS.

Or referring to the āsales department.ā
Thatās disappointing. But it makes sense.
If you design a game to encourage run selling (low drop rates, grindy systems) your basically setting up gold income for your self.
May as well profit from the sinking ship your rowing.
Also makes me wonder about the integrity of dev accounts. Do they really not just give themselves stuff? Seems like it would just be easy peasy to add some gear, gold and currency to your toon.

Nah. I like doing boosts from time to time to afford my wow sub and other services/games.
Maybe the real solution is to further limit how many tokens a person can sell at a given time so they arenāt buying them on mass for a sale.
Either way, thatās going to give more rise to gold selling lmao.
Thereās nothing wrong, either way, with buying and selling a service for gold. Should mage ports and rogue lockbox openings be banned next you gather?
