How do we feel about Russian players making accs over here and doing RMT boosts?

[Eorc-grobbulus]

@Kennie-malganis

Anything in particular? I saved the vod.

What a legend. Is it possible for you to send me the entire thing? Would love to watch that again.

@Kennie-malganis

Fewer resources to do end of season disqualifications, I imagine, along with the whole perception that glad was an old boys club type thing that wasn’t accessible to newcomers, and I guess that might’ve had some degree of merit.

I feel like the glad change came with good intentions. They just don’t know how to do it right so it feels devalued now.

@Bigsimba-area-52

but let’s not act like boosting isn’t an issue, its way higher than the rate of 1/40 games. Depending on the time of day I would even say there was sessions that had 3/10 games being boosted.

It shouldn’t be in the game but it’s not an issue. It’s nowhere near that common nor is it gatekeeping people the way everyone tries to say it is.

@Bigsimba-area-52

you have boosting going on all day from various players for stream views for example mud and pikaboo but seems like everyone does it now big names and small ones too. Point is so much boosting coming in for different reasons, definitely more than 1 every 40 games.

Not really. I que a ton of arenas, I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve qued into pika and mud despite queing at exactly the mmr they’re boosting people at. And it’s the same with other streamers like Roxxy, Maldiva, Laros, Mes.

@Tpbucs-sargeras

no i wouldnt. im not an RMT booster.

Yes you would. You’re an RMT purchaser. Also I’ve seen you play, you couldn’t boost someone to 1400 if you tried.

@Myrtardradys-aegwynn

And when you’re near 1800 2100 cutoff ranges, it is definitely not 1 in 40 being a boost. It’s probably around 1 in 13. It’s extremely common to run into the same folks who are literally doing this as a full time job.

It isn’t. You’re assuming people you’re queing into are boosters based off biased/bad criteria when in reality they aren’t boosters so your numbers are all wrong. When you know what boosters actually look like you’ll notice you only que into them rarely and when you do they often leave if they don’t kill you in the opener.

Boosting shouldn’t happen but anyone who’s losing to boosters just needs to stop and think about how to actually trade stuff to survive the opener and you’ll always win. It’s literally such a non issue.

@Eorc-grobbulus

This I do agree with, even though I feel like boosting in 2s is pretty bad. I don’t think it’s gatekeeping people either.

@Tpbucs-sargeras

NOW if you wanna hook me up with a 2.4 boost im down that way i dont have to use LFG

Damn, mom’s card get declined this time? Guess she’ll have to put a full OT shifts to keep her little gamer satiated.

[Kennie-malganis]

@Eorc-grobbulus

I think I’ll have to see if I can trim it down a bit.

@Bigsimba-area-52

I don’t think it’s gatekeeping people either.

I think it’s more the psychological aspect of just getting split in two by somebody who has queued 18,000 games that season, even if it’s only every 20-40 games or whatever.

dude why are you always harassing me everywhere i post ? gonna ask you nicely to refrain. again stop harassing me.

[Eldrethana-moon-guard (Eldrethana)]

Like you didn’t come into random posts and harass me when you thought you were better. Lol.

Boosted loser.

[Sodachuggerx-bleeding-hollow]

It’s fun to rbg with them except for when they throw without saying anything to drop mmr

[Desaroot-crushridge (Desaroot)]

I saw big rushin guy thro a guy arownd theyre apartmint. Rushins bad. Ban al rushins

[Dreaux-emerald-dream]

I thought Russian Boosters paid low ranked players to play games with them.

[Tpbucs-sargeras]

@Eldrethana-moon-guard

Boosted loser.

mkay ill keep reporting you for harassment bic boi. you do u. keep harassing me this guy lol

[Eldrethana-moon-guard (Eldrethana)]

Weak.

I guess I’ll just go back and report the plethora of “Omg hard stuck rival most inflated season” posts you followed me around with for a month.

Enjoy your ban too, big boy.

[Kennie-malganis]

@Sodachuggerx-bleeding-hollow

That’s unfortunate.

@Tpbucs-sargeras

ill keep reporting you

I thought that announcing reports is generally frowned upon?

[Eorc-grobbulus]

@Kennie-malganis

Lord. I forgot it went on that long.

@Kennie-malganis

I agree. Most of the people I see getting frustrated with boosters take it way worse than if they just lost to someone better than them. I feel like people are letting the games played and glad mounts get to them when in reality most of these booster teams are hella easy to beat once you stop and figure out the gimmick.

That said I still haven’t found a good way to survive the spriest unholy dk booster team when they have a night fae hpal to summer them.

@Tpbucs-sargeras

Accusing someone of harassment when they aren’t harassing you is harassment.

[Eldrethana-moon-guard (Eldrethana)]

Only thing I’ve found that works is gassing the uhdk. It’s miserable to fight though lol. Triple DPS win in the opener cleave.

[Sockems-guldan]

Your entire existence is harassment to the human race

[Eorc-grobbulus]

@Eldrethana-moon-guard

Only thing I’ve found that works is gassing the uhdk.

Unfortunately everything I play sucks at killing unholy dks. Literally any other healer and we’ve got no issues just running down the spriest but night fae hpal just makes the damage unhealable unless everyone has a hard immunity.

[Eldrethana-moon-guard (Eldrethana)]

They blast my disc unless dark absorbs like 90% of their go, lol. Feelsbad

[Kennie-malganis]

Yeah, shadow paired with windwalker/dk/fury, etc, then nf hpal just kills through everything. Not even like there’s a buyer you can take advantage of because there isn’t one.

[Eorc-grobbulus]

@Eldrethana-moon-guard

My rdruid just gets absolutely blasted by them. Always forced to tranq opener but still dies after anyway thanks to double silence.

I saw one with a venthyr dh, absolutely insane damage.

[Rethumtv-tichondrius (Rethumtv)]

@Myrtardradys-aegwynn

But why? It’s blatantly ruining the integrity of the ladder. Any real ladder game bans for this garbage.

Because the problem is twofold:

1. Blizzard has the burden of proving RMT has happened, which is usually difficult to find evidence of because they use Discord or other 3rd party apps to communicate.

2. You would run into situations where 2 highly experienced friends might help out another friend who isn’t good at PvP. That means there is a potential to incorrectly ban someone just because they were allowed to play with their higher experience friends? That wouldn’t be fair to any of the 3 players involved.
