I’m not into the boosting community but i think 80% of boosting transactions are just +15s 1 time purchase for the vault and i don’t have any problem with it .

I think the majority of players , buy boosts to catch-up gear on new chars or because they come late in the patch, not to clear the hardest content in the game like lot of people think on this forum . I know lot of people who are pushing high keys , in the top 0,1% and still buy +15 boost on fresh chars
For me , they are a very small minority , prices are insane . i have heard Max from Limit said , they were doing 10M golds runs for full Mythic raid run , who is ready to pay that amount of golds for a seasonal game ?
- I don’t know the situation in PVP , but in M+ , i have run lot of keys ( 170 ) +15 - +21 solo pug in 9.0 and i have rarely/never met giga boosted players , who could not play theirs specs decently .

What else would you spend gold on?
Mounts & Toys are secondary to gear, gems, enchants, potions, flasks, etc.
But achievements are forever.
I think you’d be surprised at how many people boost and then delude themselves into thinking they’re at that level themselves.
I see it all the time on these forums, someone that boosted KSM last season or out of nowhere clears a raid in 1 run in the span of an hour and a half and brags about being a “good player”.
That’s the real issue. If someone does a +15 boost but then goes back to doing their +7’s and such, no harm no foul.
It just doesn’t work that way.

i never see theses peoples tbh , i think 90% of KSM are legit players , nobody flex with KSM , it’s a participation trophy , you rarely see people using the KSM mount

Apparently a lot of people would rather pay for somebody else to play for them rather than play with each other.
I don’t know what to make of that.

Yeah, Boosting really is that bad.
Boosting is a cancer on the integrity of the game.

To be fair it is kind of big and unwieldy.
It’s just sad to pay someone to play the game for you. Why bother playing at all?

but imagine , for exemple on my main i’m doing +25 keys , and i start a fresh alt . I don’t really want to do M0-+25 again , i just want to jump instantly in +15 . Why should i start from 0 and be forced play with inexperienced players , it’s just frustrating . That’s why keys to M0-+15 are kinda toxic , and it get way better when doing high keys

Yes it is, creates players who know next to nothing about their class or how to dps or heal.

Remove the WoW Token and I’d bet we’d see a drop in boosting advertisements in game.
You don’t even have to grind anything to make gold. Just an irl job. Open the section in game, list on the AH and done.
Whole WoW token was funny AF. They added the BMAH to remove excess gold people had from the economy, then turn around and add a token you buy with real money and can turn into gold.

Boosting isn’t an issue in PvE. It has been a part of the game since Vanilla.
Most of the complaints against boosting are from people who derive their enjoyment of the game by measuring what they have against what others have. These are the people who want others to walk by them in central hubs and gaze in awe of their achievement titles, gear or mounts. They need to find avenues to /flex towards other players in game and boosting eliminates some of this by trivializing certain accomplishments. That’s why they’re so against it.

i don’t think they should legit remove the Wow Token , you remove the M+15 cap gear vault system , and the boosting spams will disappear .
Too much people can get into +15 boosts , you don’t really need to be good at the game , at 1 point you just outgear it and can 4 man it .
You just need to stack gear with M+15, with the vault . And you can propose your services , it never end .
Boosting should be reserved only for elite players skil-wise , not average player who outgear the content
You just need 240-245 ilvl and you can propose your boosts +15 services or get into a boosting community LOL
Remove token. Make WoW F2P. Nobody cares about boosting anymore because their $15 is being treated equally again (because they’re not spending it). Heck, then boosting can be mandatory for as many wannabe gamers that play this game still.
The thing about boosting I never understood is that these people are paying to get gear at a level that they just don’t play. Say you pay for a +15. Ok. Then what? You aren’t going to get geared or skilled after just one run. So does that mean you buy more runs? How many and for how long?
In pvp it’s rubbish and I hate it
In pve I couldn’t care less, I just look at the raider io profile before inviting people, very easy to tell if people are boosted

Boosting completely destroyed pvp in shadowlands for new people. So it is very bad.

As a solo player with no guild I’ve yet to see a single instance where a booster even inconvenienced me. They are welcome in LFR, their gear will help make up for their lack of skill. I think the idea of it is scummy and essentially the equivalent of just drawing up a max level character in D&D without putting an iota of time into it, ie where is there to go from this place you’ve gone without actually playing or enjoying the gameplay?
That said I don’t see an impact at all. I can’t tell a booster from a tryhard and I’m not about to spend an extra millisecond to parse that out. So they suck, just not in any ways that actually should matter to other people playing the game as they see fit.
Then you’d just see gold selling companies come back fiercely like we used to have. People act like the token really did something huge. Boosting would be here with or without tokens.
There’s no need to buy tokens to get boosted. Just farm gold in-game and enjoy.
