Actions Taken Against Gallywix And Gold Selling, Hotfixes - August 3rd

[deenman]

Old people remembering it fondly means nothing. Some people in Russia to this day hold Stalin in high regard. World seems better when you are young, get certain freebies from the gov and propaganda pumps your brain for decades. I also come from Soviet block country, and we also didn't have millions of killed, but repression was there. No freedom of speech, kidnappings, torture and murders were not uncommon. Friends father got sent to do 3y of forced, hard labour in mine, because they found an old, rusty rifle in his house. It ruined his health.

Yep,i agree,some people had it bad some had it better/good,but i was simply calling out the ludicrous statement he made that ''EVERY COMUNIST COUNTRY RESUTLED IN BILIONS DEAD LULW''...and the stalin analogy is a bit sily,as he dies in 53,most people who knew him are either dead or in their 80's,for people in my country its fairly recent,my grandma was a full grown adult and remembers how much better her life was than today,the ease of affordability she had then with her money vs now was much bigger,my grandparents got a house with their own money,got everything for the house,a car,and my grandpa had enough left to open a shop when he retired,by comparison i make far more money than they did but i cant even dream to do all those things at the age they did

I dont think people have issues with these services because they maybe cant afford it,thats just silly,people mostly hate it because of the spam,because when they open the group finder 90% is advertisement,also i find it odd that you say RMT should be banned....but...wasnt gally doing that?or am i missing something here

also blizzard could easily fix this by opening up a dedicated channel/group finder simply for these things,my guild also boosts for gold and it gets rly annoying getting muted every day and unmuted after a quick ticket because blizzard itself isnt sure on what its own rules about this is

Well that is a problem NGL, that Blizzard could have fixed making separate trade channels or a video to help people turn off trade chat.









Also the fact that a tiny minority in Boosting Community do this fishy stuff behind management back is a sad reality, and unfortunately all the community that works with gold only get cucked

[Dioporco]

Also is funny people are jerking off this investigation


While is literally Blizzard the main reason RMT exist, when wow have a pay2play aspect like Corruption BoE or BoE and Tokens, is pretty obvious that people will buy tokens to get gold or buy golds from other sites that are cheaper than tokens.


Blizzard Balance? GIFTABLE? Guess what that is still RMT.

[Mic_128]

40y old boomers crying for Trade Chat spam because they can't use Trade Chat like a forum asking stuff that you can ask on forums.

Now that Blizzard is investigating and boosting community are hiding, the trade chat are empty because nobody cares to talk to other people on Live.


This is hilarious

I don't see how that's a downside. It's like complaining that your letter box is constantly full of junk mail you don't want, then it stops and you don't get anything in your mailbox because nobody cares to send letters to other people.

This isn't a problem. This is what I'd want.

Not every server had that issue.

There are multiple channel, trade chat isn't General or Advice asking, you can hide/mute/delete the channel and puff no more spam.

Is something a 5y old toddler can do easily.



If you are gonna tell me that LFG Advertising is a mess, I'm with you, but that is also due to how shitty is LFG UI in game

[FelPlague]

Some people don't seem to understand that ever since WoW tokens became a thing gold = real money (with a little bit of laundering). Sure, it combated gold sellers, but as a side-effect it made gold something you can buy for $$$ directly from Blizzard.
Now considering you can buy raid-tier BoE items, consumables and services from boosting guilds one could (should) say that WoW is pay-2-win.
What I'm trying to say is that WoW token is ruining not only the game's economy, but also the game itself. While I'm at it I still can't believe Activision-Blizzard has the audacity to implement a cosmetic cash shop after taking money for the base game (and expansions) AND a subscription.
Absolutely disgusting.

No MMO can survive just off sub money. You just can't anymore. Look to all the others. They went free to play, or sub with a shop, or a mix.

[Cathbadh]

lol,plenty of comunist countries that havent resulted in deaths,cuba is actualy a country that did fairly well,far better than what was before atleast

By fairly well you mean killing thousands of their own people, chasing 10% of their people onto rickety boats where they escaped to the US, putting thousands more into political prisons, forced labor camps, and locking dissidents away in mental institutions where they were tortured?

,vietnam is doing ok these days,

Human Rights Watch would likely disagree with you, as would the Degar peoples and the boat people who fled. But "these days" ignores a history of mass killings of hundreds of thousands, political prisons, forced labor prisons, and execution of landlords.

my own country used to be in the soviet block and i can tell you for sure that there was no ''milions of deaths'',in fact the older people today remember that period with fondness as they could afford anything they needed,something that today isnt the case

Which country was that? Mass murder was the go-to tactic of the Soviets. This isn't exactly up for a debate outside of post-soviet revisionism, especially in Crimea at the moment. As far as I know no country was spared. As for the "old people remembering it fondly" I sincerely doubt it. I know some people, mostly those who were born late into the USSR or afterwards pine for the lower crime and structure that totalitarianism offered, but the older people never seem to want to go back to when there was no food to eat and their neighbors would disappear in the middle of the night. The older people don't want to live through another Holodomor, or the gulags, or the KGB.

also,no current or past comunist country ever claims/claimed they are a comunist country but rather strive for the ideal of it

The problem is that ideal is not reachable. So instead they do what they always do - murder innocent people. You may as well advocate for a government run by benevolent fairies, as it is about as likely as an actual communist utopia where the state has withered away. Imagine how great it would be if all decisions were made by magical creatures full of wisdom who only want the best for everyone!

and again,im not defending it,wile people in my country for example remember it with good memories,even in an utopian version i wouldnt want to live in a true comunist regime as i do prefer to have my own business and own more than maybe i would really need,but thats not even the case in comunist countries today as people do own stuff like in china

And yet you've whitewashed it repeatedly in this thread. Weird that despite ardently defending something that has always lead to slaughter, you wouldn't want it yourself. Also, I'm confused. You said that no country has ever claimed to be communist then expressly define China as a communist country. Make up your mind.

"Real money trading is bad, especially when they offer cheaper prices than we do."

For real, thinking that their token system will stop this is insanity, they'll never change though as that would mean actively moderating every server and employing more people just to stamp out offenders like they used to do. They're not interested in a healthy game economy, only RL-profits same as these goblins.

[Chonar]

Sounds about right for Gallywix.
Wait, this isn't about the trade prince doing trade prince things?

His parents gave him 253 THOUSAND dollars and a bunch of his other family members gave him money too.

But I'll give you Jan Koum.

Buffett was not self-made. He literally rode the backs of other companies before making enough in salary to start something. He also got a $10,000 donation from several people before going into business. I'm not gonna count receiving donations as being self-made because he didn't even work for that money. 11 people gave him 10k and he only put 100 of his own money into the project. Other people's donations are the only reason he was able to start anything up to become wealthy.

And once again, nobody gets to being multi-millionaires and billionaires on their own. It's been proven time and again that people in those brackets are corrupt, exploit their work force, and use loopholes so they never pay taxes. Jeff Bezos is worth $181 billion yet paid zero in taxes for 2019.

They didn't "give him" shit. They invested in his company to the point his parents are now worth billions.
His parents basically invested their life savings of 250k. They were lower middle class workers

You are also confusing Amazon the company taxes vs bezos taxes. You have no idea how much he has paid in taxes.
Based on his stock gains and sales it's probably in the billions range.

Also Amazon has paid plenty of taxes just not enough and some years they don't pay any federal income tax because they lost money.

Also you are confused, Amazon paid 162million in income taxes for tax year 2019 and $914 million in federal taxes deferred to future years. 2.4 billion in federal payroll taxes, customs duties and other taxes. Its 2019 tax summary also includes $1.6 billion in state and local payroll, property, income and gross receipts taxes

Quite a bit of tax paid there buddypal.

Buffett was also investments not given to him. That's part of how people make money you know they get people to believe in them and their business plan.

By your silly logic no one could ever be considered.....

[Drusin]

Or just close trade channel. Unless you want to spam anal [achivement] zingers I'm not sure it serves a purpose.

If everyone has BadBoy and everyone blocks boost spam (except those that want to use it or don't mind) then trade chat can be used to sell/buy items.

- - - Updated - - -

Well, I never heard about this addon, but I also was never bothered d by the spam. My eyes learned to auto-skip these messages years ago.

I try to tell as many people as I can lol

If there's something I don't want to see in chat I filter it, no autoskipping for me.

[Radiobiology]

Finally some good news in 2020.

[Asrialol]

You really think I am gonna care about what somebody with a PORN SITE in signature, have to say?


My "lowest" rank was making me 5 milions per week, while you flip burgers to buy tokens.

Give me your discord name there so I can check the sheets and your balance history?

Pretty sure I've boosted more keys than the amount you've advertised away. Will confirm once disc name is given. Can PM if you don't want to post.

[Melvoin]

Ok, so how do i earn money to eat if i play wow 24/7 untill i die? Has Blizzard thought about this? They probably think all their subscribers are rich and live with their parents. Anyway they will never stop us! Instead of giving some money to their subscribers they funded BLM to burn America to the ground!

Check which sheet? They are deleting everything.

Also nice try from a nobody from a fake guild kekw


The fact that you think a booster is making gold not thanks to advertisers show us how fake you are

Wow, you cant truly be this dense???


They implemented the WoW token because they KNEW there was no way to stop RMT. WoW token gives people a safe way to do it instead of going to one of many different shady 3rd party sites, risking compromising both your game account and RL identity.



But sure, Blizzard is completely evil and everything they do is to nickle and dime their playerbase, blah blah blah.

eh it's just inevitable until someone says "hey im gonna use money to buy tokens to buy gold to pay for this boost, how about we cut out the middleman and we both gain a benefit."

and honestly, i'm pretty sure all the token has done is increase RMT, both the legal and illegal ones.

[gaaara]

Looks like the discord is gone as well.

There hasn't actually been anything deleted so far as far as I can see.

"Kekw". Alright, so now we know you're an immature adult. Which is why I am surprised, shockingly so, you didn't post your discord name or PM it to me.

There's no point discussing this when all you have to do is give me your discord name, and I can check which one of us has made the most gold in the past, say, 6-12 or 12-24 months depending on how long you've been an advertiser.

Prove how "fake" I am. Go on. You know what you have to do. Prove me wrong.
