I get that people want to level fast alts as SoD is coming to a near conclusion but when LFG has more boosting services than groups, something needs to be done. Isn’t this the same community that fought against incursions? The store boost?
For the record, I am primarily a retail player and have enjoyed SoD because it was an escape from the constant RMT and boosting services spam. I enjoyed seeing constant, “LFM xyz” in my global feed all day. I know many of you don’t care about leveling, but having realms full of groups running dungeons at all level brackets is healthy and invites new people to join.
Just over the weekend, I reported over 50 level 1 bots spamming advertisements for boosting. These are Discords that are selling 6-hour 60 boosts, 1.5 million exp/hour for real money.
It was hard enough for levelers, beit new players or alts to find groups. This is the nail in the coffin. I tolerated stuff like SM boosting over the years despite what it’s done to the game but there’s no excuse to let SoD fester because it’s at the end of development.
If this is going to remain in the game, Blizzard, just put a level 50 boost in the game so Classic can start earning revenue. I would rather put the RMT discords out of business and monetize future Classic+ development.
If you aren’t going to do anything about this, we need to get this crap isolated away from LFG and start issuing mutes to the hundreds of bots spamming outside of the Services channel and for the love of God, at least ban the blatant Discord boosting adverts.

Imagine how bad it will be if they add the favorite WoW class to horde: Paladin. (and I guess the wooden stick dropping people to ally)

I’ll give it a month before LFG is nothing but boosting adverts. It’ll be 100g per level at that point and the RMT sites will be making a fortune.
We have in game finder for all raids and dungeons also custom making. Doesn’t take long to find any instance any time with it. Healthy level levelers.
with it being this late in the season, i dont see any problem with it honestly.
no point in getting upset with this .

Damn, so we’re all suffering from the bot invasion in every version of Classic?

If you don’t like it then don’t do it and stop making posts crying about people who do, do it very simple
people dont need to bot this.
its actually people just killing mobs for 6 hrs straight.
its not bots doing this i would guess.
You and I both know that people aren’t using the LFG tool and certainly not lower levels. I have to carry guildies in Gnomer and ST because it can take over an hour just to fill a group. Not what I’d call healthy.
I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to play the game legitimately anymore.

I recently leveled a rogue to 60 and in past couple days a lock to 40 the lower level LFG tool is pretty active at least on wild growth alliance

I’m down for putting the store boost, wow token and store mounts in SoD. It doesn’t hurt you, so you shouldn’t complain right?
You are failing to see the problem here. RMT and rampant rules breaking is running wild and being ignored.
Not sure on what you mean tbo…I do know that the list of players in lfg is decent and leveling friendly. Also a slow mount rushing to spots invasions is not appealing.
I do them but I am not a bot makes good gold. exploit early and exploit often.

its hilarious how people thought that when GDKPs were banned that the botters and the RMT would stop
How is people paying 10g per level to power level a character in a game mode where you already have 150% leveling speed a bad thing? SOD will have a 8th phase and likely thats it. So why does it matter?
it doesnt.
the only bad thing about it is when these boosties get in bwl groups or other raids and have no gear or weapon skills and little to no clue how to play their class.
thats the only problem with it.
Thank you for your service.
No. Dont do it.
Just simply reduce the amount of xp earnt via invasion boosting, reduce the mob spawn rate - it doesnt need to be hyper spawning now that we can do a turnin every 5 mins in every zone its active. Reduce the incentive for these rmt organisations to do it in the first place without turning classic into legal rmt.
They have to sit at the dummy in Stormwind then get carried in MC real runs before they can play basically.
That’s not bots, that’s real players. Bots are selling flyhack boost in BRD, and they suffered from this new boosting method.
Why aren’t you booting them from your raid? This isn’t even a problem.
