so you carry your friend in 10s but someone else gets carried and you’re mad about it, and assume they paid for it even though your “friend” didn’t pay you for it. Do you see your flawed logic?

I’d wager It’s more common to just persistently pug your way through 20 keys until you’re carried than it is to buy them. I get close to a mil for a 20 untimed, over a mil timed. People aren’t dropping over gold cap for 2500.
??? when my friend actually has to play their character + work to complete/time the key then yeah thats fine
when a person is 340 IL, sitting afk, and getting carried by 415 IL players, yeah im never going to invite them to anything ever
reading comprehension is hard for you isnt it
Like a scarlet letter! Maybe a “B”
Wait… this is coming to me live…
One of those little orphan-page-kids runs behind you everywhere you go. Little red flag with a fancy “B” on it.
If only there were a website that showed you the amount of runs someone has completed at which level that spans the length of the season. Someone should come up with that. Probably be a big money maker in ad revenue alone.
Cry more noob.
Proof? So if someone makes a group and has no friends on and chooses 4 random people regardless of key they’re being carried? Oof, explains why you’re posing on a classic character
I mean you were looking for randoms to carry him, so guess he was
but they need to be carried?
for what? pointing out your failed logic?
Let me answer your question with the post you just replied:
You realize that they wouldn’t be “a thing” if people like you didn’t sell them, right?
Perhaps you should be the first to stop selling runs. It might start a trend.

You obviously don’t know how supply and demand works.
paid carries are stolen valor.
I know exactly how it works. But if OP is going to complain, he should be the first to stop selling runs. Put your money were your mouth is and all that.

Do you not get with your tank and do a prerun so people know when to kick what blah blah blah thats usally how u weed out stupid people do a pre break down before you use the key… so u dont waste your time.
Not all players that pay for carries are going to be bad in your group. Some are good players with little time to farm the gear the old fashioned way. Once they got a decent rating and gear they can now do the content they want. By adding a system that would separate those players it’s just going to make things worse not better.
Sounds like you are part of the problem.

You see this all the time. Guys in 15+ doing 20k DPS or not know fight mechanics. Low keys it makes sense but when you have a 2200+ io and don’t know mechanics it’s frustrating. Had a few runs lately where we couldn’t even complete the key because people didn’t know the 1 shot mechanic. Lots of pulls until we all have up. Usually it’s just 1 person but occasionally you’ll get more than one person and it’s a key killer.
There are also people who have life style choice that make their play bad, I know a couple of those. They are decent players until they drink or smoke. Just part of the game when you pug, but it can definitely be less than fun.

It’ll never stop!! Paid Carry’s are not allowed and people get banned by buying runs off websites etc. but using gold to pay for runs is totally acceptable. In fact it’s what ion wants because token sales will cover up the decline in subs.
Take away tokens u take away in game Carrie’s. out of game Carrie’s are bannable. But ion wouldn’t have a job if they did that. It’s World of Paycraft. Accept it
There is a system, you bring someone by looking at their rating and the clears they have done… then when they are in the key they cant do mechcanics, dont know what the affixes are, have very low throughput and otherwise play well below what there rating would suggest.
The system is working flawlessly in that regard.
Seems like retail has a situation where there is too much neck, too much beard, too much sweat and not even close to enough personality.
So, here’s the problem with your post, and I’m going to dissect it into two different direct points.
- Continuing to say they’re going to sell runs as long as it is valid and recognized as such by Blizzard is simply playing within the ruleset. What you’re saying is no different than telling someone to protest the existence of tier sets, or the existence of trinkets, or any other thing that currently works one way as opposed to another by actively harming themselves. With the way the game currently works for those who interact with boosts in general, you’re either in on the boosting scene making money or you’re paying money to get boosted by the people making money.
Arguments like these are typically made in bad faith. It’s not entirely reasonable to tell someone to actively step out of a completely legitimate market that they do not like the presence of. I feel the same as the OP and in the past at one point I was doing advertising for some of these services before the rules about that got changed. I didn’t like it, but it was a way to make gold, and “protesting” by not doing it was simply me choosing to not do something that at the time was completely valid.
- Asking Blizzard to nuke boost sales from orbit while CURRENTLY profiting from boost sales is not hypocritical, and to my knowledge the OP has not expressed a desire to exist outside of rules, spoken or unspoken. They currently boost because it is allowed and there’s no real reason for them to not do it, but they would rather it not be a thing in general. Whether that’s them being altruistic or simply wanting to push people who can’t do content off to the side is irrelevant to the point being made, and by trying to conflate their currently doing sales with their point you utterly dismiss their point.
