Hello,
Title - lots of people saying mage boosting (leveling) for gold is bannable. In looking through the EULA, it appears to me to only be bannable if it is for real money. Can anyone clarify please?
It’s not bannable. But reporting people who advertise boosting in LFG has its uses.

per the last time blizzard addressed the issue Its only organized groups doing it. individuals are fine. so, basically the solo mage is fine but the discord “communities” are not.
As of today, we will now prohibit organizations who offer boosting, matchmaking, escrow, or other non-traditional services, including those offered for gold.
This policy update does not restrict individuals or guilds from using the provided in-game tools (“trade channel” chat) to buy or sell in-game items or activities for in-game currency
Its worth noting that this blue post was directed at communities selling arena boosts/mythic carries for real money

Boosting is allowed as long it’s only advertised in the /Services channel.
If you see boosts being advertised outside of it, feel free to report them.
its also worth noting that the blue post specifically states “including those offered for gold”

Its worth noting that this blue post was posted in the retail forum designed to combat multiserver rmt boosters, not mages doing dungeons. You should really read those things before you start talking about them and look dumb

it’s worth noting that this blue post was also referencing a ToS update that covers all versions of the game, it’s also worth noting that in my initial post where I specifically stated “individuals are fine. so, basically the solo mage is fine” perhaps YOU should read before making statements about other people being dumb.

Sorry you think a blue post that was made to combat multiserver arena/mythic boosting had anything to do with classic

i indeed quoted the relevant statement and TOS is account wide. also to be clear arenas were in classic at the time of that post.
You think multi realm arena boosting was in classic? And you want to be taken seriously?

Sorry bud you aren’t gonna convince anyone that the blue post about multirealm arena/mythic boosting was about classic, especially when they already broke everything besides strat/slavepens boosting at the time

TBC+ really isn’t “Classic” in respect to this game.
It’s worth noting you are just jealous which in turn causes you to seethe because you see those mages making gold while you remain poor and counting your silver. Go back to questing and mind your own business

again, over what exactly? i have no problem with mages boosting.
my disagreement with chad is over his wrong interpretation in thinking that the account wide ToS doesn’t apply to classic. we were/are in agreement over mages being allowed to exp boost.
You’re trying to apply a blue post that is talking about something you have no understanding of, and acting like it somehow applies. It doesn’t. There was never crossrealm boosting organizations in classic, you can’t join groups cross realm in classic. We’re clowning on you for not reading a blue post, not understanding what it was about/intended for, and trying to pass it off like somehow crossrealm arena boosting organizations existed in classic. There were arena boosts in classic, but there is no cross realm arena teams in classic. There wasn’t cross realm group finder in classic(no we’re not talking about RDF). You have no idea why that blue post was made and have no idea why it has nothing to do with classic. Theres a reason a blue post targeting specific retail activities wasn’t put in the wow classic forum.

i know exactly what im talking about. you do not.
the blue post is a clarification SPECIFICALLY of the EULA of the TOS section 1.C.iii.iii
This specific line:
(iii) performing in-game services including, without limitation, account boosting or power-leveling, in exchange for payment
because “payment” isn’t defined and the blue was clarifying that the term “payment” included gold. and making an additional clarification about who is impacted; individual, guild, or organizations. because “organizations” also isn’t clearly defined
the subsection includes ALL in game services including BUT NOT LIMITED TO crossrealm arena boosting and is an account wide EULA. it’s the specific document involving what they will ban you for.
you are factually wrong
