Paid carries are here to stay!
Don’t let them troll you dude.
It doesn’t matter what you say they are going to argue regardless.

If only a easily accessible way existed for us to see if someone got carried to where they are and what the average playstyle of that person is. Do they interrupt, use defensives ect, ect. Oh wait it does and it only takes like 2 mins to fully check someone out. Problem solved before it was ever a problem.
This exists for those who know how to look.

And some dude who does M20s “legitimately” can wind up with 2.5k IO, KSM, KSH, 410+ iLVL and still be bad. Or, you know, could just be having a bad dungeon/day. Get over it.
Crying about boosts is so 2021.

Welcome to Aka threads. They rarely make sense, and will cry victim at the slightest criticism.

the fact that i have to do like… LITERAL research on the people im inviting is ridiculous
was carrying my friend in +10’s and the amount of people signing up who had +15 paid carries was disgusting

to this day I don’t understand how people need carries in the first place.
Or maybe whatever laughable metric you’re using to determine who has bought a carry during your “”“research”“” is flawed. Who cares who you invite to a +10 anyway.
“Uber must be stopped! Now I don’t mind using my car to give people rides in exchange for money, but…”

what?
when someone who has O N L Y done +15s and is 340 IL playing with 410 IL players
it is a 100% carry
and i care who i invite to a +10 anyways because if you invite people at 340 IL, yeah youre not gonna time a +10
Then you’ve found your own solution.

I see. So I just fell for a troll. I guess someone complaining about paid carries while they’re talking about carrying their friend should have been the first clue. But this talk of a person having bought a carry at 340 iLVL being more important than the fact that they’re 340 iLVL itself, is a pretty big giveaway.
im 410 helping my friend do a +10 by tanking for them and people who are VERY low item level + IO magically are timing +15s and applying to our key
yeah im going to decline them, and no im not trolling just because your reading comprehension is non-existent
If group a can do all the dungeon at 20-25 with player x, and group b can’t… I’d kinda say the entirety of group b is at fault fir not being up to standards, not just player x.
Or… just pug stuff you know can’t be failed, like sbg and cos… and run the other keys with people you know who don’t suck. If you don’t know anyone that wants to run higher keys with you, then perhaps the problem with your groups isn’t player x, but the common denominator in all your groups.
“Me carrying my friend because I’m a super-awesome nice guy is okay, but the people applying to my groups who I assume are filthy cheaters who bought their carries for gold are an insult to my honor!”
My reading comprehension is just fine.

i mean theyre not cheating, theyre just being carried thru content theyd normally not be able to time/do
so yeah, its still annoying asf and people should be labeled if theyve bought gold carries by a 4-stack of ppl carrying them in keys theyd never be able to time normally
person having 1 friend tank for them to help time keys = ok & still requires them to play the game
person getting carried by 4 people for gold = not ok & u can afk at the start of the dungeon
OP is a hypocrite, then doubles down and has his “argument” back fire on him… continues to try to justify doing the very thing he is complaining about…
Worst trolling ever.

Imagine complaining about paid boosted players while taking gold for boosting players.

You’re putting to much stock into score. There’s so much more, better information that comes with Raider IO.
You can find out in about 60 seconds with a quick glance on their Raider IO whether or not they’re paying for carries.
Look to see if it’s an alt, look to see if they have keys done in previous patches, look to see if they’ve timed any other keys remotely around that level, look at the people they grouped with in said keys, etc…it’s all there, you can make a judgment pretty quick.
Most players aren’t jumping into 20s on their 3rd key ever of their first patch doing m+ ever. You can probably rule that out as a carry, and even if they’re not, in the 1/1000 chance they’re just some crazy savant player, you don’t lose anything for not risking it. Just grab a more qualified player.
Carries being made against TOS muddies the water. Who’s to say I’m not helping my rl friend or guildie gear? Would you ban advertisements? People can find creative loopholes such as offering to “help” people, then telling them to get on discord and discuss payment. Under this scenario, many new players who might otherwise think this is just a nice helper get burned.
EDIT:
The reason why players boost is because if you can do it, it’s bar-none the most profitable way to make gold. Nothing else comes remotely close. That said, to ask for boosting to be removed while also doing it yourself is actually understandable to me. I don’t know that I would want to see boosting be made against TOS (legitmate, gold-only sales that is, RMT absolutely should be banned), just because I don’t think the solve to a system is to actively make the game worse for newer players in a futile attempt to punish boosting behavior. At the same time though, if they made other activities more profitable, then boosting wouldn’t be something that high end guilds have to do to break even/stay afloat.
Not sure if that would ever happen though, since gold inflation is still a concern to Blizz, not to mention tokens.
