Blizzard Removing Mythic L'ura Mount from Players

Posted 6 hr 27 min ago by Squishei

The exact cause doesn't seem to be known at this point and this could be an RMT related ban, targeting boosting in general, boosting communities, or something else.Mythic L'ura MountAshes of Belo'renRedditGreetings,

During a recent review, we found one or more rewards gained on this account were connected to activity that violates our in-game policies. As a result, we have removed these rewards from your account.

As the conditions change by which various entities operate in World of Warcraft, we are compelled to update our policies to further our goal of making the gameplay experience as fair and welcoming as possible. Since we last updated our policies, we have found that an increasing disturbance of the gameplay experience has been caused by organizations excessively advertising various non-traditional services in-game.

As of today, we will now prohibit organizations who offer boosting, matchmaking, escrow, or other non-traditional services, including those offered for gold. World of Warcraft accounts found to be in violation of this policy are subject to account actions. These actions can include warnings, account suspensions and, if necessary, permanent closure of the disruptive World of Warcraft account(s). Organizations operating across multiple realms and excessively advertising non-traditional in-game sales are contrary to the terms and conditions of the Blizzard End-User License Agreement (EULA).

This policy update does not restrict individuals or guilds from using the provided in-game tools (“trade channel” chat) to buy or sell in-game items or activities for in-game currency. However, “boosting communities”, especially those who operate across multiple realms, are no longer permitted.

We urge all such organizations to cease doing business in World of Warcraft immediately, in order to maintain uninterrupted access to the game.

I believe cross-realm boosting is disallowed, unless I read it wrong.

Would that include things like GDKP runs? Where players benefit financially off other people?

GGWPComment by kevincuomoLove thisComment by Skullhawk13While I can understand boosting for time limited rewards, It's not like you just won't be able to get the mount, it will just be soloable later. Seems awfully lazy to get a boost for something like that. Personally I just gripe a bit and move on if a reward is something I can't earn on my own abilitiesComment by KarthusTeemoUnless they actually do something to enforce that rule, the chat channels and premade tool will continue to be miserable to use.Comment by IKLFaxWhat am I even reading? They did something....good? If this is true, bravo Blizzard.

EDIT: IF this is actually true, then a huge chunk of the 1% mounts should also be removed because the Lura boosts pale in comparrison to what happened the last few weeks with M+ boosting.Comment by Spudbang3rI’m a little confused because didn’t Blizzard create an entire chat channel within their game for boosting services to advertise? Isn’t that /4? Or /5 the “services” channel.

I totally understand that these were removed if they’re RMT related but creating a channel for advertisers to sell such services for gold, to then remove the item from the client seems weird?Comment by Skalorso people who farmed gold for like months and bought a mount from service chat now got scammed. LMAOComment by PeacemoonLol. Good! When I see any of these mounts I usually think it’s more likely the person got boosted rather than earning it through actual mythic raiding.Comment by HanasongKTI’m a little confused because didn’t Blizzard create an entire chat channel within their game for boosting services to advertise?
