Let’s do quick math…
Let’s say you have 1k to spend.
That will by 66 accounts for 1 month roughly.
Let’s say you boost instead (assuming retail price of boost 60$).
In that case you could only buy 13.
Those 13 accounts would have to produce more than the 66 to be profitable (in a single month).

Game is already bad, OH I have an idea… why not make it worse?
Nice productive thinking there.

Are you saying that one boosted 58 will produce more gold than 5 non boosted accounts in a single month?
Because that’s the only way the math makes boosting favorable.
Maybe the toxicity stems from your hyper-obsessive cynicism. Perhaps take a break and just wait to see if tbc is good or not instead of assuming the worst about something as trivial as a vidya-game and allowing it to rule your life.
I find myself responding to you again, cant help it, you are just so wrong is funny.
I will put it in really simple terms for you.
Imagine you are one person with one computer, you have 1k to spend.
Realistically you cant have 66 accounts because you don’t have 10 pcs to run 66 accounts.
You only have one pc and can run a limited amount of accounts at the same time.
Lets say that you can only run 5 accounts at the same time, what will you do with the rest of your 1k?
You will of course maximize the profits you can have on those 5 accounts.
How will you do that?
Well blizzard just announce a 58 level boost! so lest invest in that and maximize my profits.
Easy.
Look! up high! its the Cloud. In this amazing Cloud, your one pc becomes multiple pcs!
It’s the same if you have many, there is a realistic limit on the amount of accounts you can run.
After you reach that limit all you can do is maximize the profits and they will do that by boosting each and every one of them.
Seriously use your brain.
Does that matter? Even if you compare it with only a dozen accounts… the boost has to be at least 3x more effective at making good to be cost effective.
Let’s do some additional math assuming it takes two months (60 days) for a bot to be banned.
That’s a a total sub of 30$ For a single account with no boost.
Boosting would be 90$.
You can get 3 accounts for the same time frame that you can get for 1 account for boosting.
If that one boost isn’t making x3 as much profit… it’s not profitable.
Sorry math doesn’t work out in tour favor.

And that limit is high enough that boosting is not an efficient use of money.
Even if you only look at one account…
The boost has to be x3 as profitable to be worth it. (On the low end)
Again you are completely wrong, they will buy all the accounts they can realistically support and when they reach the limit they will boost every one of them.
From now on I will try to ignore every post you make with numbers in it, I’m not really your math teacher(Thank god).
Jokes aside, think before you post please.
Is that you Dunning? Or was it Kruger?
Why would they boost when it’s less efficient then Just running more bots and buying more hardware, especially with bans?
You keep insisting that’s the case, I get it.
I’ve seen zero proof from you of that though
I thought your other reply was your last reply to me?
To run more bots as you said you need more hardware, hardware costs money and is not infinite.
No matter how much hardware you have there is a limit in the amount of accounts you can support, after you reach that limit even if you keep buying accounts you wont be able to use them.
At that point the only way to maximize your profits is by boosting them.
I hope with this you finally understand it. I already explained it 3 times.
Hardware is not expensive.
Regardless - if a single boosted account can not make x3 as much as a non boosted account… boosting looses relative money.
So what you are saying is botters will be willing to pay more money for lower effective returns?
Doesn’t make much sense but if that’s the case it’s a good thing - they still loose more money in the long run then they would have if they didn’t boost.
How can it loose money?
Buying accounts and boosting them are not substitute products they are complementary.
Both are profitable, even if having more accounts is as you said ‘3 times more profitable’ when you reach the limit on the accounts you can support you will still buy boosts for every one of them, because boosting is also profitable.
If you continue to buy more accounts that you cant even use, that money is all lost.
It’s called Diminishing Returns.
Cant believe I’m teaching economics in a wow forum.
Let me put it in another way because you don’t seem to understand it…
Boosting is roughly triple the cost of not boosting.
Does it make sense for a bot to pay triple the cost for an account… for only 16% benefit? (And that’s in the most ideal situation of boosting being a benefit - arguably a more realistic number its probably 2-3%)
Economically no.
And even if a bot does decide to take an economically inefficient decision… that won’t effect the economy by any substantial amount because of those inefficiencies.
Read above. This isn’t a diminishing returns issue.
