I’m not trying to bring you into it, I’m sharing my perspective as someone who has been accused of the very thing we’re discussing.
It took like 2 hours after hitting 1800 to be accused of it, even though i was discussing what i was doing and how it was going on the forums inbetween queues. This is the problem i’ve been talking about.
2 hours to get a false accusation is an incredibly short time and if its happening to me its happening to other people.
I think that this is blown out of proportion. People have been selling boosts since like, cata at least (to my memory) the only difference was that it was tied to unpopular modes.
Now that its tied to fun modes everyones losing their minds because they had a bad game(again not saying this is you)
There have always been lots of boosting sites, just like there have always been lots of gold selling sites, and to my knowledge gold selling is basically dead, considering the wow token (I could be wrong on that, but its certainly not prominent like it used to be)
Just because there are lots of sites doesnt mean a large percentage of the player base is abusing it. Its a sign of it, but its not concrete evidence.
If boosting is as big as everyone is suggesting it is, i’d say it is a huge problem. My whole perspective this entire time has been that its not as big a problem as its made out to be, because there is definitely a lot of butthurt false accusations going around.
I know they would try to hide it, but if their so good at hiding it, why is it so common knowledge? Its all the forums wants to talk about rn. It cant both be hidden, and out in the open.
Blizzard has been letting pvp get worse over the years and have ignore problems like sync exploiting, it’s not far-fetched to think other things have also become a huge problem because blizzard hasn’t does anything about it.
Honestly why does it matter how bad it is? It shouldn’t be happening at all.
I don’t mean hidden like they try not to advertise I more mean in game.
Because if its rampant, and enough that nearly every loss is because of boosters (Not your claim) then PvP is officially dead. If you can queue ten times and hit 8 boosting groups the content is dead, and i dont believe thats the case. How big it is is a really important part of this discussion
I do agree we want 0% boosting players, but theres a big difference between 10% boosters and 60% boosters.
Yes i understand that. I’m saying if these boosters are so good at hiding the fact they’re boosting in game, how is it know that SO many people are boosting, allegedly.
We cant both say they’re great at hiding it, while also being confident with the amount of people boosting
What I am getting at, is 13 years ago he never would have got into any good RBG groups without good arena achieves. Anyone who did RBGs over the years knows if you didn’t have MINIMUM 2200 in a bracket to link, you weren’t getting in any of the legit groups. And sometimes even that wasn’t enough it was 2400 or bust.
Probably because he’s making it up, and can’t provide evidence to prove he isn’t making it up.
Don’t worry though, as a counter they’ll go through your achievements and decide whether or not you’re a booster to deflect from their lack of an argument.
You seem to know a lot about boosting for someone who says it doesn’t exist.
and yes, I know you said that it doesn’t exist “at levels” to be a problem. But how would you know?
It doesn’t exist in the capacity most people imply it exists is the important distinction.
Like, boosting for gold or rmt has and will always be a thing, it’s just not something people are regularly encountering in their average shuffle, 2s, blitz, etc, as that can almost always be attributed to people playing poorly.
I could play 500 Blitz/Shuffles/arenas. not encounter rmt once, say that one doesn’t generally encounter it and there’ll always be some “erm actually it’s a real thing”, and that’s true, just not in any meaningful capacity to the average player.
Whole lot of the same people buying glad mid-late season, though.
Not to mention throwing/wintrading around title range.
Boklahoma just broke it all down on his youtube show. “” Blizzard is Cru$hing"". Pretty much explains whats going on in wow, helps ya understand why PvP gets soo little attention when all eyes are on PvE and the Mounts.
Plus after last nights Awesomeness on the news, just stop caring and have fun the best you can. Besides today is an AWESOME DAY!!! Stock market went up a ton!
