And where does the actual seller draw gold to give to the booster from? His ass? Giving 10 million out of your pocket a boost night is not sustainable buddy, the seller would run out of fuel in a couple of weeks or 3 while trying to make real money cash. And what would he do with the actual cash? Spend it back on WoW to get WoW tokens and get gold? Where is the profit in that?
Hypothetically, Blizz might do it if customer calls for "purity" increased by a lot. The more people sell carries, the less WoW is about playing the actual game and more about having money to skip to the end. And that really is a game that is corrupted or "impure". In that scenario, things like restricting your raid groups to a pre-defined list of players every raid tier might become palatable.
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.
You do know people have lives outside of WoW, yeah? I mean, I'm not Norwegian but I can imagine what life is like there, I'm sure you can do the same. It'd essentially be a transaction to sell gold. How do you know he'd run out of gold even? Consider the possibility that this guy, who's already breaking the rules with RMT, might also be part of a gold farming/scamming/botting group. Near impossible to imagine that someone breaking one rule might break another, I know - but at least give it a try "buddy".
So, heres a few issue with that
- They have to pay their GM time wise to set up and do it opposed to doing something constructive
- Then perma ban potentially up to 20 accounts in one go. Which while its only pennies compared to them; hundreds of these runs happen per day. Over the course of an expansion, it soon adds up equivalent to someones wage.
- Then, people are going to be bitching and submitting continuous tickets to reverse it, which mean their staff are having to deal with that BS, again taking the time away from something more constructive / genuine tickets. Which in turns up ticket response time and pisses off legit people
They don't like it, they will ban people they catch for it, but they aren't going to go out of their way to cost themselves money, time and resources

Haters gonna hate
People still play this game where there isn’t any prestige or rarity tied to rewards because it is so easy to legit get boosted. Since no one bats an eye and there are even threads where people ask for removed +/- prestige items to be put back in the game its safe to say that Blizz will never purify the game and firmly hammer any kind of boosting / piloting. It’s been in the game for too long and been accepted by the players. Sad but that’s one of the reasons why I don’t really invest anything in retail anymore. Rewards are just cheap since you can outright buy them from the store.
You are going down the rabbit hole of assumptions, and I've boosted a lot. The scenarios you've described have never happened around any of the boosting communities much/at all, or for me personally. I will go ahead and believe what is actually a fact, rather than a conceptual scenario you came up with.
No need to imagine any sort of rule breaking, cause you make 0 sense mate. Let's just end this discussion here, as I don't think that there is anything to be gained between a person who argues with facts, and a person who argues with scenarios he conjures with his own mind and have never/barely ever happened, and are a gigantic waste of time for anyone even following such scenarios.
Well... don't pug if having incompetent people bothers you so much? Pugs always were and will be a lottery when it comes to players, regardless of whatever achievement/gear checks you do. Yes, it's cheating, and I'd consider it below me to ever get boosted, much less pay for it, but it happens. It doesn't even have to mean they actually bought boosts, they might have been carried by their guilds for all you know.
But T̶w̶i̶t̶c̶h̶ ̶C̶h̶a̶t trade chat is already filled with the bots that spam links to real money services, I just don't care click any of it. Apparently real life currency services are alive and well, since the daily spam never ends.
Gold of course is where all your transactions should start and end.
You have to back that up with some actual rationale as to why that's not "valid."
"because I'd be at a disadvantage" isn't good enough. You should be 100% fine accepting a disadvantage to stick to your own morals if you have qualms with someone else's lack of them. That's called.... integrity.
Nope, US Destromath. Apparently it was the bee's knees in the old days, but now it's fairly dead and only kept functioning by being merged with Azgalor, Azshara, and Thunderlord, and still has just over 1500 Horde players combined. I've considered perhaps moving to Illidan or Area 52, but I've got all my toons and it'd be expensive, and I wouldn't want to not be able to send stuff between them anymore. The only ones keeping me there besides that are my brother and uncle who are the only people I know who still play the game.
Thanks. Just sucks that Blizzard threw in a BC set behind that restriction along with old Vanilla gear, and seems to be acutely aware of the fact that it's restricted, and so they refuse to ever try and make an HD version of an iconic uniform of a major group of one of the most-played races in the game.
Dang...just checked on Illidan US and a guy said that 3 hours of arena 3s costs 1.4 million gold. The most I've ever had was 250k.
