I know u are but wut am I?
That’s silly. Of course they do, they just don’t use the same account all the time.
I’m convinced that people do not have some sort of business sense, and it’s scary. A minor “convenience” for you can lead to devastating out come. It’s just a short sighted goal that shouldn’t be encouraged.
The “math” is all wrong because botters are not paying a mage to boost them. Botters all have their own level 60 mages on “clean” accounts so the mage boost costs them nothing, zero.
No botter is going to purchase a 58 boost.
To anyone who believes this, no bots will not use the boost. It’s a literal waste of money. Just take this guys first argument for example, the whole “if I farm X amount of gold in the mean time I can make more money”.
Stop right there. The ONLY way this would be true is if they are turning over gold as soon as they get it, or at the very least turning it over quick enough to where 2 days they could potentially run out.
This is not how it works. Gold sellers are sitting on hundreds of thousands and millions of gold. Them spending $60 of their own money, in order to farm an extra 2 days, in order to add to their already HEAVY stockpile, does NOT make them more money. They make more gold than they sell already, then buying a boost to get a couple extra days makes no sense. Full stop.
They already have the bot, this is a free level 70 no matter how they look at it.
This post was clearly made by someone who does not understand botting in the slightest.
If you don’t believe me just visit one of these sites. Most will tell you how much gold these people are sitting on. Paying for a boost isn’t going to help them.

You mention it as if someone can just have infinite accounts. The real limitation is not the number of accounts but instead the hardware to run those bots. Buying more computers would be far more of an upfront cost to having more accounts than simply buying extra boosts. Lets say what that one person was saying earlier that most bots don’t run 24/7 (I am skeptical because if they aren’t running all that often why is the 30 instances in a day limit a thing?)
Well then based on their assumption of each bot running for 3 hours that means 8 accounts would be cycled throughout the day. Question then is how many accounts could a computer run simultaneously? Obviously it would depend on the capabilities of the computer as well as how much it takes to run the botting software.
Eventually at a certain point though you’d HAVE to buy another computer and ultimately another license of the botting software. Then we’d also start having to look into the energy costs of running additional computers as well as storage space for these PCs ect.
TLDR you can’t just say “Well the bots will always just buy 4x the number of accounts as they’d pay for boosted” because at a certain point once your operation got big enough the boost would be a drop in the bucket compared to other operation costs for expansion and more accounts would indeed add a heafty cost.
The other side some people ignore is that there is in fact a finite market for botted gold.
Can bots meet that market without boosting?
That’s why buying boosts doesn’t make sense… Demand for gold is finite, and they already have huge stockpiles of gold, and max level bots continuously farming more. Why would they spend 4x more for a short term gain in gph?
They already have which is why no bots will buy the boost.
They already make way way more gold than they can sell. Go check out the websites that sell gold and you’ll see their stash. It’s insane.
There is zero incentive to spend their own money on a boost just to increase their stockpile they can’t sell fast enough.
Christ most botters don’t even pay for their own sub lol most just bot up in retail when using the OPs logic “it would be more beneficial for them to bot the gold anyway”.
And some don’t even do that and use stolen credit cards or stolen accounts, but yeah these people are for sure going to waste $60 so they don’t have to level their bot for a couple days. Get the f real people.

I just checked a few sites.
They legit have people selling gold with 800k gold rofl.
They wont need the boosts, they have so much stocked gold there is no need to spend money, they wont be able to sell their gold fast enough.
The supply is there but the demand isnt as high.
Ultimately the demand is determined by what can be bought with gold in game.
And it just isn’t that high.
Yup and keep in mind, that’s a single person. I went on my server and looked up EVERY persons stash on my faction, added it all up and it was something like a hundred million or more gold available to be sold. On a single server, on a single faction, on a single gold selling website… so god knows how much more there is.
Yeah i didnt go that far i went to the most famous site atleast from what people have said.
They have millions in stock for my server.
geeeeeee 2 geeeeeeee
Holy sht your server is really flooded I was going to add it up for you just out of curiosity, I searched by stock size and counted at least 20 people with 10million and like 30 people with over 500k amd stopped there. You at least have a couple billion on your server
Yeah rofl.
Imagine thinking any bot on my server is going to buy a boost LOLOLOLOL
I don’t think they truly believe it. It’s just the only valid argument they have so they cling to it.
The thing is though, 58-70 is the real grind, that takes the longest… seeing areas below lvl 58 is nerfed 30%. making 1-58 much faster, So Botters still have work to do.
They wont be 70 in 1-2 days.
Yes I realize there is a limitation based in hardware. Not really that limited. Given the argument is generally centralized around a BRD rogue farm. You can run the game on absolute min spec, and any modern computer could easily handle 8-12 clients I would argue, but we really only have to speak of this in terms of 4 instances, or (Insert Boost Cost/15).
The argument is how the investment into a boost is always better spent on more accounts. The other information used to argue this is that “a botter only plays a set amount of hours to avoid detection”, having more accounts to cycle through is also better for this reason.
So yes, going to 16x accounts is an absurdity, but we only got there because an absurdity is being proposed, when smaller scale math already answers the viability of boosting in terms of gold farming for profit. A boost is always worse than even just a singular second account.
I doubt people will buy the boost just because how much gold is available already.
If only the demand kept up with the supply, which is why boosting is a needless expense.
you can have a 100 on one machine.
