It’s called reading comprehension lol. Fairly easy to see what the OP is pointing out
You arent my majinbew. Go away!
Not for casuals. Casuals don’t group for things, so they likely aren’t affected.
I read it and it still makes zero sense to include casuals. Are casuals the only one’s that pug or something?

Stop defending boost sellers. Youre on the wrong side here.

damn lfg ads 
it affects every part of the lfg system not just lfr lol
i report about 20 every day and nothing happens. i think it does nothing but hide them for yourself for a few hours … because theyre back everyday!
when its not trying to sell carries its trying to advertise a twitch channel lol
interestingly enough its always the (5 or less) viewer streams that try to advertise on lfg 
maybe there’s a hint to take there.
As a semi-casual officer in a guild doing Normal Nath, I was about to say this myself.
First off, yes, we exist. There ARE guilds out there looking to progress at a more casual rate. Just a matter of trying to find them rather than clicking on the first guild that tossed you an invite due to someone running an auto invite addon.
Second off, you’re not telling us anything new Ithost. Many of us know the issue. The real question is this: did you actually take the time to right click on each listing and report them, or are you just blowing smoke and venting on the forums without making an attempt to help slow them down?

You keep us filthy casuals out of your stinkin mouth you elf!!
World of Warcraft is a pay-to-win game now.
Like, it’s so obvious, that it makes me think people are pretending they don’t understand things. I’ve really only been participating in the forums regularly for maybe two weeks and I can already come up with a list of about 10 people act this way over and over.
And to those who are pretending there’s only 2 sellers out of the entire listing: maybe there are, I’m not looking in every single server. But, they’re acting as if every server is the same. Just for curiosity I went to look at mine earlier day, and at least 50% of them were boosting for gold.

5 seconds how many times a day? when they say they can’t stop them, they don’t mean “we’re literally unable to ban anyone”. they mean “banning one spammer doesn’t help because they just swap to a new account within minutes”.
Oh, it’s intentional. People purposefully misinterpret what is being said because they don’t want to risk shifting their own narrative. It’s too hard for some people to concede to something.
Consider the “change my mind” people; they have their mind made up already and are challenging you to change it. Which probably isn’t going to happen.
I have people respond to something I say and they grossly exaggerate what was said or conflate it with some issue or a statement they have seen elsewhere that I have never said. No point in engaging with those people further, I just nod and smile and send them on their way, and actively ignore them from then on out.

Oh, I know. And, people keep trying to drag you right on back into the conversation, even though you’ve explained it over and over, under the guise of pretending they are interested in a real discussion. And, then you say…oh, ok, maybe this person really means what they say, you quickly find out…they just wanted to bait you again so they could argue. It’s laughable.

It was 22 of 24 or something silly USA late afternoon. I was pretty meeeeehh about the carry stuff for a long time but as I see how offputting it is to most gamers in general it makes the whole PUG system look really bad. Ineffective. Gamers aren’t typically known for long attention spans, I’m sure a lot of gamers unsub and never come back at least until the next patch and only purchase 30 days playing time.
I mean really, it’s not as if players who want to pay for boosts can’t find one. There are ads everywhere even targeted ads on facebook. I think one had ‘Cake’ in the title.

It’s oddly pervasive. I mean, I honestly would have never thought it would get to this point. But, I really do think that it’s pretty much headed towards majority gold carries now.

Sounds more like a gatekeeping problem not a game problem. But nice try mr. 225…
Right now I’m seeing 17 sell ads out of 58 total LFG CN groups. Every single sale run has only 1 person in the group.
In 5 man groups, the percentage of sells is even lower. It’s a problem (and kind of hilarious, seeing that Blizzard absolutely condones it), but… eh, whatever.
I’m not defending boost sellers. I’m just pointing out that you’re making false claims.
Just because you’re against boosting doesn’t mean you get to spout whatever nonsense pops into your brain.

Blizzard probably now relies on the token sales to generate good profits.
Really is sad, this sales crap is a plague on the game - but it’s pretty clear they won’t do anything about it.
Seeing more and more big wow streamers beginning to move over to FF. There just isn’t the audience for WoW right now.

Actually it was harder to get groups to play with in the past. There is a reason that servers are broken up into time zones.
This game has NOT changed in that regard and games before this were the
same
exact
way
since
they
came
out.
Then you look at the primary demographic of people who play and it’s people with jobs and responsibilities. Of course they aren’t going to be playing at 2 am on a weekday. You think 60 year olds and 15 year olds who are retired or on summer break are the primary people who play WoW?
Holy crap the delusion in this thread is crazy.
