Is this a thing now? I could use some too! 
Iāve bought a few. From organized groups to solo carry tanks. That reminds me, I need my M15 this week.
I have a friend who is a member of 1 of these boosting communities. He plays on an oceanic server and thinks of it as comparable to a real job. (I am pretty sure he is just doing it for gold, so I donāt really understandāmaybe location is relevant though).
He is not the best player I know, but he is dedicated to completing his goals and using the class he considers best for the role.
The main difference between him and I is that I consider it a waste of time, he does not. No godly player, just someone willing to take the time to do this. And others are willing to pay the gold :\

I just report them all for spamming. As far as Iām concerned, theyāre doing it to sell the gold for RW cash, and cheating, or at least encouraging players to cheat by not earning their gear.

Iām ambivalent toward boosting, but how is what other people get any of your business?

My guild is partnered with one of the bigger boosting communities and Iāll tell you from my experience so far theyāve been nothing but extremely professional and incredibly understanding.
They track everything and make sure that weāre posting clear, concise messages to all the people purchasing runs from us. If there is so much as a SNIFF of a person being any way related to RMT illegal activities they are permanently banned from the community and placed on a Blacklist.
Most of the advertisers you see posting in chat are usually from one of the boosting communities, they people posting get a cut if they secure a sale.

It is exactly like paying for friends in some cases.
Iāve had people that were 245+ ilvl and 2.2k io buy a boost because he had no friends to play with and was having a really bad day with Pugs.

You my friend!
Friendship is fun but I feel like I donāt have the time to give my friends the attention they deserve because my work takes so much out of me. But itās also true that I could make a friend and if they help me remember them 15 years later, we could go right back to being friends. I feel alone but also happy. And hopeful.

Well they werenāt the suckers paying for a carry, so they got that going for them.

I agree, they are quite professional. The boosters are not usually involved in RMT, the only thing I can think of that could be RMT is the ācommunity cutā that gets sold for real money to pay for the leaderās rent etc. Or if the boosters sell their gold for money after they make it.
What about this friend you already have! I am a gnome

Iāve never felt inclined to buy an M+ carry. I get too much satisfaction out of how far I can get on my own, and 15s are trivial.
I have contemplated (though never seriously on account of being far too short on gold) doing a CE carry. Mostly just to get a chance to experience the fights. Iām never going to have a work schedule that lets me even attempt to get into a CE raid guild, so Iāll always be just doing just a few mythic bosses. I canāt pug my way in raids nearly as high as I can pug or group my way in M+.
Being a booster is way better than pugging.
Work your way up to a booster so you can do +15s and play with people who wont rage quit/Communicate/go the best path and finish it on time.
So much better than guessing who you are playing with.
Also get some sweet gold out of it
Feel like you could just join a guild for free with the same results.
I know my guild will run with anyone.
Ehhhh. I donāt speak for everyone, but a lot of guilds Iāve joined feel like they have a clique and itās near impossible to get into it without a year or more of invested time, building up trust. So many guilds just feel like a group of friends that knew each other long before they ever started WoW.
At this point, Iād say itād actually be easier to just make your own guild, add people to it, and run things with them. At least no one will boot you out. Guilds still beat PUGs though, because thereās literally no consequence for treating people like crap anymore.
