No more "queue boosts"?

[Osmeric]

how does the system know the difference?

I think it keeps track of how often you do it. Also, I think there's either a time limit or it is disabled after a boss is downed.

I think you can que boost if you have someone else other then the healer aswell. Try to que with a healer and anoter guy who wants to do the LFR.

[Heratix]

As a healer, when I want to do a LFR part, I always ask around if someone wants to join me in the queue, since i'll be running full run. Why not reach out and help dps get faster queue?

Unfortunatly, not all healers play like this (and I only have 1 pure dps class myself, others are all healers or tank)

[Tacotruck]

I think it is a good policy. DPS artificially cutting queues just make the queues longer for DPS in the queue legitimately.

Have I que boosted? Yes.
Have I been boosted? Yes.
Am I upset about the re-implementation of this? No.

For those of you upset because your line cutting has been taken away. Deal with it. If you are complaining about the 40 min que as dps (which normally pops faster). Then go ahead and form an entire 25 man LFR Group and que together and see how long it takes you. If it is faster, then by all means do it. I would hazard to guess that, like LFD ques, it is still shorter than sitting in town spamming /LFG and trying to find tanks and heals willing to take pity on you.

If you have a hybrid then que as a tank or healer (preferably healer cause a sucky tank will ruin a run) and choose your loot specialization. Then you are helping the ques move faster and getting to jump to the front of the line anyways.

I've never gotten kicked out when my "booster" leaves.

[icausewipes]

i just did this on my healer and i was not booted.

[Itisamuh]

Good. Now people who lack the friends (or crappy ethics) necessary to boost are on an even footing. Besides, you can still do it. The tank and healer simply has to stick around and do the run. A good thing all around.

[jearle]

This is not at all true, you can still get quick queues into LFR and that person leaves without issue.

However, when I ran 2 accounts and tried this it would remove both my characters. There may be some sort of reporting mechanism or way that blizzard ties accounts together for people who do this a great deal and then they get removed. Overall though you can still do this without issue as I did it last night for several guild groups.

My guess is the OP or people who can no longer do this were reported in some way by players or blizzard and are now flagged to not be able to do it anymore.

It depends on how frequently you use or abuse the "feature."

Nope, it removes the entire party that queued with the healer or tank who immediately drops (except, perhaps, if the person who drops has no prior history of doing it, as implied by GC).

Apparently it's not.

Dumbest idea by blizzard in a long time. Queued up for lfr with friends, even killed the first boss. Power went out, when i got back found out that all of us been removed from the group <_< NJ blizzard.

I used to sell queues all the time. I still do even though they instantly get kicked. I got my money and chumps like you are left to sit around being mad. The system works imo.

Sad that you need gold that badly... Also kind of funny when I consider how much gold I personally have and how I didn't have to be a douche to get any of it.
