Good for them… freelancing is a good thing
That’s a monumental stretch.
Besides, he’s not directly making gold anyway, his guild is. Only thing he’ll likely see out of it is consumables and BoEs.
Is he just supposed to tell his guild “no, you can’t do that because i’m in here”, and then they can’t afford to actually participate in mythic?

This is why io exists.
I’ll take someone with 500 io and 233 gear in a +4 over someone with 500 io and 197 gear. But I wont take them into a +15. Whereas I’ll take someone with a 232 gear and a 2100 io to a +15 in a heartbeat.
I’m perfectly happy to see people buy gear. Makes it easier for them to keep up and overcome some lack of skill. You just have to pay attention to their experience, but you’d have to do that anyway, you know.
I know, I was just talking about a technicality. But answering your question what he should do (in case the technicality had any validity), he personally should not participate in any boosting activity.
you have a long history of CE achievements to back that u… oh. I see you don’t.
carry on spouting nonsense.

So he just shouldn’t play with his guild?

They have many other activities in the game to do apart from boosting, right? right? 
Also what is more important? if guild or his work?
LOL
and you spend your time making terrible arguments on the wow forums?
I call shenanigans.

Kinda gross but meh.
This though, this sucks.
both are important, i wouldn’t ask someone to give up either.
You can’t get into a decent mythic guild that DOESN’T boost.
Not really, they are not at the same level of importance I would say.
What a shame.
PS: in the hypothetical case that the previously mentioned technicality has some validity, which I doubt.
Why does he have to choose between either? Just because you don’t like boosting?
Your feelings don’t dictate the rules of the game.

Someone’s free time and fun with friends is definitely as important as their work time.
and high end guilds are been boosting for forever, it’s just part of the requirement to keep up with prices of consumes and boes and whatnot.
Not really, you are speaking from a point of comfort that not all people have, if you have been in need, you know that love and fun go out the window when hunger hits the door.
That’s a societal problem and not really relevant to this conversation honestly.
It is from the moment we talk about what is more important between work and play.
What systems “maximize player spending habits” though?
Like people say that Blizzard are designing the game around token sales a lot, but the most lucrative content to boost is content that predates the token.
Carries were sold in raids before the token existed.
Carries were sold in dungeons before the token existed.
Carries were sold in PvP before the token existed.
The systems that Blizzard have layered thickly on the game since Legion aren’t conducive at all to boosting. You couldn’t effectively buy boosts for your artifact, or legiondaries, or Heart of Azeroth or your Covenant because doing so wasn’t ever practical and the best way of maximizing your gain from those systems was mindlessly doing easy chores that anyone could do.

We were specifically talking about HIS work and play.
100% remote with a scrum workload means i only have 4-5 hours of actual work each week, a few more hours of meetings, but otherwise its afk the rest of the time. its good to be in cybersecurity.
consequently, reaching all of my irl life goals is probably why i don’t need to get a CE.
Of course, and in the hypothetical case that he had to choose, which is more important? the game or his job?
The weight of the question does not change according to the person to whom you ask it.
