Great. Now do a gold reset and remove tokens in 11.0 and we can have something similar to a server economy again.
Let's hope they won't return
Kill all the boosting crap, make it go away.
Not particularly a fan of Discord policing stuff like this, particularly when those discords are not "selling, promoting, or distributing cheats, hacks, or cracked accounts." This should be a blizzard issue for Blizzard to handle, Discord should stick to providing a service.
Boosting is good for the game, change my mind
boosters have been an absolute scourge to the game, but they are only half the problem. the other half is blizzard designing the game around people buying boosts, incentivizing buying their services.
The overall result of this I guess kinda the same as with the in-game chat advertising, since then all the boosters are friendly groups and family. Fast and Warcraftious. LoL. It will probably change nothing. At least they are trying.
Start with the token then...
Thank You Discord! Was scammed (sat for 20minutes then DCd) 1.3 million on stormrage from some one using one of the boosting community discords. They even posed as an “advertiser” on the discord server before kicking me and changing the link. Even though many are real players selling boosts, several bad actors ruined it for everyone.
The amount of salt in these comments over casuals getting things that don't affect other players is insane. who cares if casuals get mounts or gear? your guild runs will still be your guild runs, and only casuals pug anyway... (at least that's the sentiment of a very vocal set of players online after the slime cat mount/lfr announcement). so casuals boosting, then pugging with casuals shouldn't be a problem.
