New Services Advertisement Policy

So the trade chat is still full of gold selling services like lvl boosts and carry…

If things aren’t where they belong, just right click, report. You’ll get the added bonus of not seeing that person until you relog.

Any plans to just ban accounts that put “WTS” in the group finder tool? It seems like the easiest and most obvious thing in the world, yet these “playcarry” .com posts stay up for DAYS despite being reported.

Only max level characters should be able to post in LFG for dungeons.

I know this post is like 6 months old but just lol at this kid for whining that he had to type /leave one time

It’s not just once you idiot. You have to do it for each character.

Oh, the horror! How do you even cope with that level of hardship?

How about stay on topic and not act like a child trying to get their own way. Services are in the designated channel only.

This policy caused the big communities (Dawn, Sylvanus, Oblivion, Haukin, etc) to close up… for all of maybe a week… They’re up and running again healthy as ever, doing the same things as ever, with absolutely zero repercussions from Blizzard.

And the thing is… that’s fine… kinda…

It is clear that people want the service that these discord communities are providing. What’s not fine is that the people have to go to a third party like these discords to get them.

Blizzard, please consider adding a Services “Work Order”-like-system to the game. Even a services LFG category would be fine. Some sort of server-only way of advertising services that you are willing to render.

The services channel was a great step in the right direction… but posting a “WTS” macro every 45 seconds for hours at a time is certainly not an enjoyable experience…

Power Leveling and similar have been staples in the MMO genre since its inception. Asking your players to use third-party services or communities is just asking for trouble IMO.

Please give us a new LFG for this purpose. <3

100% need a Trade (Work-Order) or Trade (Professions) channel as the spam in regular trade is getting out of hand with crafting…

This not gonna work lol. Even if you report someone for spam, ads, boosting, etc. there will always be someone making new account with fake real money to do this all over again.

The person probably run multiple account like bots, booster, gold selling. Are probably people who are super rich and got nothing better to do than make new account and sell or do bot on them….

Maybe blizzard should script an bot in trade chat and enable it to just auto ban anyone who does this thing. Kind of like warframe how they have this “kickbot” where if you do something wrong the bot kick you or ban you out of the chat.

And make a bot to also ban botting too since blizzard is tired to even do another ban wave :roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

with ato bot u can get ban with no reason…

I’d always assumed that level boosting services etc were against the terms of use. Is it condoned now? I musta missed something since I’ve always just reported posts spamming level boosting and now they get their own channel that we’re all added to be default.

They’re fine as long as they follow a few rules:

The channel is easily disabled. I assume it’s on by default because there’s nothing wrong with it and it’s just as valid as trade chat (which is also on by default).

Well from looking over those rules it looks like the same rules I know. I.e. that selling services for real money is not allowed. So far that’s nearly all I’ve seen in the services forum. Websites/businesses offering carry runs through raids, pvp etc as well as levelling power levelling and gold. All for real world money.
