people donât work 24/7 you know. many blizzard employees stream on their FREE TIME.
Iâm unsure what happened with them. They still do free giveaways right? Thatâs cool too, but you canât expect people to always want to giveaway stuff for free sadly.
see, thatâs where your opinion becomes skewed morally for the game. yes, technically it isnât illegal. does it mean 3/4 of the population should buy into it? no. it makes for lazy and less skilled players, not to mention opens up the window for actually spending real money to buy tokens to buy âgold onlyâ carries. itâs a loophole being used to get around the legality of it all.
thereâs a big difference in this- the named actions are actual professions and skills used that doesnât alter gameplay for the good or bad⌠next thing you know, one can say selling herbs and ore should be banned as well.
Developers selling runs for gold is dumb.
But it isnât technically a massive issue unless theyâre actually asking for real money and just saying that itâs gold only, just like many other boosters. We wonât be able to learn the truth though.
From what Iâve seen, most of the time, the gold ad isnât a lie. But I donât play on âmegaserversâ so maybe they have more crappy chinese bots baiting people into whispering them.
Now, whether or not the leadership of whatever group is doing the gold carries is selling the gold they earn out the back end for cash is another question.
Because, I mean, what ELSE is a group spanning the entire game selling 200k to 1.5mil carries every 30 minutes perpetually going to do with the sheer amount of gold? Surely just having that gold loses meaning at some point, and thatâs where it gets questionable when they keep going.
they donât need to ask for real money- if someone doesnât have the gold, they just buy a token and exchange for goldâŚ
see the rabbithole?
Nothing wrong with guilds doing carries for gold, that has been acceptable for years.
That depends on where that token money actually goes, it could just be going to another executive bonus and they donât get a dime. If they ask for money directly they get the profit themselves rather than Activision blizzard.
if you mean Qwik, heâs not a developer
You realize heâs not a developer, right?

itâs the same moral reason companies that offers prizes for drawings and such make it void if won by someone that works for the company or is a family member of one.
I know. Still seemed like itâd be funny.
Youâre right, Mike doesnât actually do any work on the game himself he just sort ofâŚpresides over the ones who do.
Man needs gold

Now we know why they couldnât care less about our trade chat being spammed with boosting ads, as well as the LFG listings.
This game is a joke because its run by people who are a joke.

Gold selling is a bigger than people realize I think. Some boosters in retail/classic live in third world countries and farm gold or sell carries all day because American currency is worth substantially more than their native currency. In some cases itâs organized as they work together to maximize effectiveness.
