    RBG Carries for Gold Allowed?

    I've mained a blood elf paladin ever since I got my own account as a kid in BC, and I've always been very interested in the Blood Knights you do quests for. When Transmog came along, I was beyond excited, and bought all the level 60 Warlord's Aegis set in preparation for it, only to be sorely disappointed when I found out that Blizzard locked a set they created in BC behind an achievement only attainable by hardcore PvPers back in Vanilla.

    I was happy to find out later when they began allowing people to get it through PvP, but less so when I found out you had to do RBG's. I'm on a low pop realm and I'm not the best player, but transmogging is one of the only things I enjoy in the game today (looking forward to changes coming to Shadowlands).

    My question is: are RBG carries for in-game gold allowed, assuming I can find a group of people willing on my server group to get me to an 1800 rating for the Legionnaire achievement? If so, any idea how much gold people normally charge?

    There is really nothing they can do about it.

    Just have a GM buy a run and when they get invited, Just start banning every one in the raid, Can’t get any more”Proof” that they are breaking the rules than that

    A lot of the boosters get paid by the raid leaders in gold and sometimes really have no idea what they're doing.

    As long as they arent piloting your character for you, its legal. Anything in game is typically good to go, but whenever something happens out of the game like Real Money exchange or bots or piloting: that’s the ban hammer

    carries in WOW for gold are allowed, but alot of people claiming it is for gold only services, etc various wording use methods to make it cash. i whispered to test a few to see and this is average below.

    - do you have paypal, some ask this right off the bat
    - gold price quote is generally monstrous, to the point, you may have to buy $1000's irl currency for tokens
    - have a auto reply, they are overwhelmed, to get faster service visiting this site ______________.com and for gold at lower prices than tokens
    - go to site they want you to register (i did not) with reasons that their services as so good, low, etc., and this is as far as i went

    on true full pop servers like, illidan, area52, trade chat is insane with gold services spam

    Ways to kill selling carries:

    1. force everyone to play with random people.
    2. at the start of every tier, you create a set list of players that are allowed on your raid team. You can change it or add to it as you please, but it becomes locked for the raid tier once you actually raid. It can be bigger than a raid size to accommodate alts. This might make the game more social as guilds will recruit a B team and be heavily invested in its success or they might not have enough players to raid later in the tier.
    TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

    I have seen it alot going around in discord charging ppl money over pixels. They move around often and making new channels and etc is alot hella harder to track them down. It's crazy but i wouldn't dare to go there.

    Just do some research into RBGs and make your own groups. It’s not that difficult and you can get to 1800 without much of a headache, just prepare for some long times to fill the group.

    That's why you use boosting discord servers where advertisers will find your message then find the proper booster who will do it for such a price and circumstances that you detail. I've boosted twice and it was easy and painless both times

    Genius. Ban a ton of innocent players to get to the 1-2 people charging money for the boost.

    That would cause more problems than solutions lol.

    Yes for Gold
    Yes for Carries

    You will be banned for using Real money to pay or by using a system whereas the enemy loses on purpose rather than you simply winning.

    Ahh Yes. Entrapment. The best surefire way to catch Guilty People is by tempting them into creating Guilt.

    The "Employees/soldiers" aren't less guilty just because of the "But i was just following orders"

    Every one in the raid is equal parts quilty.

    Right, you sound like you have a lot of experience with it.

    How about if these "employees/soldiers" aren't even aware that the boosts are being sold for money? Should they still be banned?
    If you're enough of a nazi to say yes to the question, are you also stupid enough to think Blizzard would mass ban these unwitting "grey area employees"?

    Don’t be naive, If they are there then they are in on it.
