On mine it has changed to many many mages spamming Mara 300+ runs and now disturbingly its mages that offer solo ZG runs then ask you for your discord to discuss price. I asked for one and they offer leveling you for RL cash. 0 fear of getting in trouble for RMT.

About 50% boosting runs.
25% raid pugs
20% max level dungeons
5% legitimate leveling dungeons
Oh and a smidge of people selling summons to various places.

The asking for discord is a new, scary trend. It seems to be from those offering ZG solo boosts. Something like “Selling ZG XP SOLO VERY FAST PROFESSIONAL MAGE” and when you send them a tell asking how much they go “what’s your discord talk there”.
I’d be reporting for cheating on that specific request, because no gold payment needs to be discussed out of game. They might not fear getting in trouble, but trouble will come their way eventually. (The issue is that trouble is so slow coming that they’ve long since cashed out.)
What does LFG channel look like on your server?
Mankrik-Horde: GDKP ad with Discord, Dire Maul Buff, DPS for Ulda, LF tank for ST, DMN trib or non-trib run, Scholo/BRD/Arena, WTB Mara 300, DPS for SM Cath or Lib, DPS for SM Arm/Cath, Guild-hosted MC run, several of those repeating.
Mankrik-Alliance: chatter (android os?), chatter (holy pally), LF tank & dps scholo, Guild recruitment, DPS for DME, BRD, or ST, RFD need DPS or tank, RFK runs for twink gear, trade (ony cloak), chatter (SSD for xpac), DMT buffs free opt tip, BRD emp run needs heal or tank, Guild-hosted AQ40 soft res, etc.
Atiesh-Alliance: DPS for AQ20, ST/BRD need healer and tank, DPS for various end-game dungeons, chatter (weird non-TF “did someone say”), chatter (AV weekend), DPS for BRD emp, 40s tank LFG, healer for BFD/Gnomer/RFK, DPS for Gnomer, DPS for ZF, lots more AV chatter (two ally wins last night?!), etc.
(Caveat: I’ve probably got close ~20 ignored for boost/carry ads in the past. I’m not removing a bunch to see if more show up.)
EDIT: That’s right now - so 3pm for Mankrik East coast folk and 12 pm for Atiesh West coast folk.
Trash talking, some light banter about out local streamers that no one watches, some light trolling and advertising for enchanting by that jerk that got 15 agi before I did. He’s always one good enchant ahead of me. (He’s a nice guy just way lucky)
We banned most of the boosting advertising, but there are people both looking for boosts and to run dungeons.

My server has boosting discords so I think that cuts down on some of that (I’m guessing most servers do).
Looking right now I’m seeing mostly AQ20, ZG and Ony pugs. UBRS, and one guy selling Mara runs. Someone just asked for more to do reg ZF.
Normally it’s mostly raid pug runs (20 & 40 mans including guild runs looking for pugs) with some GDKP pugs thrown in and guild advertisements as well. A few boosting ads but again I think the booster discords filter most of those. Some 5 man dungeons too but people just aren’t doing those as much anymore.
I wouldn’t know. I left that channel a long time ago.
About half people LFG/LFM for dungeons, half banter. Periodic guild recruitment posts.
Every once in a while some weak, sad sack individual will ask if someone will sell them a boost for gold, but it’s uncommon. Never see any advertisements from anyone selling boosts, thankfully.
Bloodsail, Horde-side, low pop.
I haven’t seen a leveling dungeon run in a couple months now. You can occasionally find Deadmines in the day time, and that’s about it, since nothing else gets enough people to start.
My alts are all leveled via grinding with Rallying Cry and rested EXP now.
There’s like 3 people that won’t stop talking about Fergie.
Other than that, usual mix of LFG, banter, and the occasional booster/boost buyer. It’s a good mix; you can find what you’re looking for no matter how you’d like to play (or not play, I guess).
Besides the usual boosting, raid/dungeon LFG, politics, there’s actually this one toon that offers to write love letters (and describes “herself” as Otaku Desu, whatever that’s supposed to be).
Its pretty cringey, but I only catch it time to time.
Get an addon that allows you to filter. Block anything with WTB/WTS and the words boost, carry, pull. You’ll be much happier.
GDKP, SR and portals to AQ on pagle.
I will be making a post suggesting the devs to input a separate boosting chat channel for WTS and WTB as on my server (Benediction-Alliance) more than half the posts are about boosts. This has been a problem for finding group the main reason being it clogs up chat as well as inderectly causing more people to buy boosts since they see it when looking for a real group. I would appreciate all the support so we can have it. I talked to a GM and he stated you cannot post in LFG for boosts it is restricted to the trade chat and no one follows this rule. I am pretty sure no one even knows about it that is the main reason i will be making a post.
It is filled with Mara 300+ boosts on pagle maybe u ignored them. They sign in the same 6-10 boosters and start spamming. They share the summoning toon, so it seems to be 1 company.
On big servers I’ve been on it’s boosting ads nonstop.
So much so that people looking for groups or trying to sell something get buried within seconds.
On RP servers people troll each other with political arguments.
