So automation has finally been prohibited by Blizzard. It only took nearly 17 years but bravo. It’s bad for the game.
Now, can we please disallow selling runs for gold? It goes against the spirt of the game, is bad for the game, and makes it harder to even find legitimate runs in LFG.
It’s already not allowed in LFG they just need a better system to enforce it tbh.
As for carries as a whole, I don’t really see why they matter in PvE. In PvP I would agree it’s an issue and needs to be addressed. But who cares if someone buys AotC for the chieve or the mount
Oh and I forgot to mention trade chat on populated servers is so full of boosting sales than it renders trade for other purposes virtually useless, required an addon to filter through, and boost sellers are even finding ways to circumvent the spam filter addons by slightly altering the spelling of their adverts.
It’s just not good for the game and harms what residue of a community the game still has left.
No automation costs them money in the long run. Most multiboxing is done by bots for raw gold farm which is sold for real money cheaper than a WoW token.
Boost on the other hand generate income through token sales. We’re more likely to get an in game boosting review system.
