Permanently Ban Boosting Everywhere

[Ritahayworth-daggerspine]

@Våld-area-52

They should ban boosting advertisements or give them their own channels. It won’t go away, but I’d be fine if it just wasn’t something that I had to deal with cluttering things in game.

yeah, the ads are the thing. cant read chat if you wanted to for 16 ads popping in a row, lol

@Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord

I don’t understand why classic players are offering opinions on retail stuff like the token when it literally doesn’t effect them at all.

Do…do you not know that you can install all three versions of WoW on one computer…?

[Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord (Zandrae)]

Did you know that you can change characters on the forums?

[Varlth-mankrik]

You think I’m going to do that to satisfy your displeasure of my avatar?

[Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord (Zandrae)]

@Varlth-mankrik

You think I’m going to do that to satisfy your displeasure of my avatar?.

I mean, if you don’t want people to dismiss your takes as yet another classic player who isn’t affected at all by retail complaining about tokens because they are a classic purist, you will.

If you’re okay with being dismissed then that’s fine too.

[Demitros-illidan]

Are they wallowing or swallering?

[Varlth-mankrik]

@Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord

If you’re okay with being dismissed then that’s fine too.

If you dismiss someone’s argument soley based on their avatar before first evaluating their argument then you’re strawmanning them and were never worth debating to begin with.

Remove boosting and advertising/selling will be done on another website that Blizz has no control over.

Blizz cannot police boosting without having GMs monitor every chat message and going in-game to watch every group. Undergeared guildie wanting a mount joins a raid group saying if XXX item drops he will give it to guild. BAN! He paid for it.

Banning WoW token will result in real gold sellers taking up the slack and nothing changes (like before tokens came in). And subs will drop.

And what the @#$! is it to you how other people play the game.

In your case you need to provide an argument worth even dismissing.

Crying about the token isn’t valid.

[Furvana-wyrmrest-accord]

@Evilmuffin-uther

Still better than the piles of bodies that a certain gold seller used to do, with stacking up corpses of dead toons and spelling out their website name.

Ah, Susan…

[Sleepyash-sargeras]

yes, hurt the many that are doing this legit to spite those that break the rules, great choice!

@Madmatt-illidan

Please just BAN Boosting, or atleast stop all advertising in Trade chat, LFG, Or anywhere else, allow people to carry and help each other that they already know but not ruin the quality of life for the game.

see above lol

This ban of boosting communities has not actually gone the way Blizzard has wanted, What has happened is all these boosting communities are still active 100% just the difference is they are all saying “Guild Group/Friend Group” offering services when in reality it is just the communities. But now the difference is there are alot more scams going on because these “Friend Groups/Guild Groups” Which arent actually a group of friends, or arent a guild.

@Blizzard you either need to make this boosting a part of your terms of play, and regulate it, and have an oversight to it to stop the scams or BAN it PLEASE 100% NO CARRY’s NO BOOSTING. MAKE PEOPLE ACTUALLY EARN THEIR Achievements. This game has lost its way, the people that actually play the game to have Cutting Edge/ Keystone Master/ Ahead of the Curve with the same people that are just paying for it, its ruining the game. Why should i learn the tactics, be a good player, and try hard, when some rich kid takes mommy and daddy’s money and buys the same achievements that i actually have to earn.

The game has turned into Pay to Play, you cant take anyones mythic+ score seriously, you cant take their raid experience correctly, or anything else, You are allowing these people to buy their experience instead of earning it.

Please just BAN Boosting, or atleast stop all advertising in Trade chat, LFG, Or anywhere else, allow people to carry and help each other that they already know but not ruin the quality of life for the game.

This topic is going to stir the pot, But anyone that has a problem with this is either making money/gold from boosting, or they are the ones buying the boost. Blizzard its your time to make a decision, either ban this completely or approve it and start regulating it with an oversight and stop the scamming and spamming. Make a new boosting chat spam for people to list boosting so we dont have to have a trade chat spam of boosting. Figure out a way to regulate this correctly, but you guys just ignoring this for years now, claiming its not against the terms but its not approved, it just not gonna cut it anymore.

LETS FIX THIS ALL TOGETHER BLIZZARD!

Just a few things to consider-

These actions will drive token sales down.
Additionally it would drive up costs on Blizzards end.

Hopefully, it’s not difficult to see that the result would be an increase to our subscription cost.

Is that something you’ve considered and are willing to pay?

@Madmatt-illidan

Which arent actually a group of friends, or arent a guild.

So OP, did you investigate to see if the groups selling boosts aren’t friends with each other? And if, what does this say about you?

Why do you even care if people are selling boosts? It is sanctioned by Blizzard as it is one method they use for revenue. Not to mention their own boss partakes in it.

People selling/purchasing boosts is not the reason the game is going downhill. This economy is the outcome of a really bad loot system. Blizzard has created a game where people have no choice but to run content they normally would not run in order to be included in the content they do enjoy playing.

The forums are full of people complaining about how they cannot get into content because the expectations of those inviting people are well above what the content minimum is. Blizzard has compounded the issue by inflating ilvl this patch, making it even more ridiculous.

The fix to this isn’t banning people from making gold off of those who are willing to pay for runs. The fix is for blizzard to abandon this ridiculous external power system and go back to one where the main source of power a player has comes from the player, not the gear they are wearing, or the conduits/covenant they belong to.

[Breadisfunny-turalyon (Breadisfunny)]

i always found that to be highly amusing.

[Thewiggler-frostmane]

There are A LOT more people thay pay for boosts than you think. Hang out in the 10-15 key range and PUG you’ll run in to them REAL quick.

[Hîde-malganis (Hîde)]

“WHY WAS I BANNEF FOR BOOSTING?! IM Q LEVEL 4 PALADIN!!!”

“we reviewed your Facebook and there was a picture of you in an airplane”

“SO?!”

“jet propulsion engines use turbochargers to BOOST fuel to air ratio, as such we have determined you have been boosted and your account has been permanently closed. This investigation is now over and this action will not be looked at again.”

[Setiosiris-borean-tundra (Setiosiris)]

banning multiboxing would be easier than banning boosting.

[Marla-westfall]

No. This is impossible to enforce anyway.

@Madmatt-illidan

This topic is going to stir the pot, But anyone that has a problem with this is either making money/gold from boosting, or they are the ones buying the boost.

or they just don’t agree with you.

[Hewer-kelthuzad]

I have been playing at 60 for a month on my main and he still does not have a legendary. They are too expensive.

[Amayna-garona (Amayna)]

Personally I couldn’t imagine caring enough to care what other people are doing with their accounts, maybe I don’t understand how this effects the OP’s gameplay or anyone else’s
