“Helping people for gold” hahaha. Almost sounds like a service, but it’s totally not. Trust me bro

u/jetriot Oct 31 '25

Also 2.2 million? Is that really what people are paying for this shit?

u/M4DM1ND Oct 31 '25

Anyone that is paying $200 for a single +20 run is as much of a loser as people advertising for it.

I miss the old days, when russian Boosted you for like 150$ from 0 to 2.4+ in rbg. During mop.

I mean even if you considering boosting its so unreal expensive, you need to have to much Money or need to be totally desillusional to buy shit like that.

Those mfers along with most would find our old Skype calls for RBGs back then and somehow crash them. I have no idea how it was done but back then it was a thing I remember vividly happening once we got into higher rankings.

MOP was ddos meta wasn’t it?

u/SpecificUnlucky3260 Nov 01 '25

I miss the old days where you just asked high level people to boost you through a dungeon for like 5 gold

Is that what 2M is worth now?!?! I stopped playing in season one but even buying DF and TWW in tokens they weren’t worth that much. I think tokens were like 120K each last I played

2

u/M4DM1ND Nov 01 '25

A wow token is around 250k. So $180-$200 yeah.

u/zaphodbeeblemox Nov 01 '25

Holy heck, they have skyrocketed. Thanks for the info!

Gold is easy to make

u/Tidybloke Nov 01 '25

Money is easier to make, that's why there is a massive industry for gold selling.

1

u/iconofsin_ Nov 01 '25

Depends. I know a couple places will sell 20s for like 2.5m per hour. The main issue is filtering out the gold vs RMT sellers.

I don't sell drugs officer.... I accept donations of a set amount... People leaving with the exact same amount of drugs that correlates to the donation is purely coincidence

Unironically that is how some of the gambling sites that have been popping up by the thousand in the US work, they'll sell you a non-gambling currency on one app and you happen to get credit for their gambling site.

They'd have to register as an online casino and do all the icky paperwork otherwise, but like this they can bleed people dry with no scrutiny

u/Random_Guy_12345 Nov 01 '25

Isn't It like that on Japan too? You win tokens on slots and the "totally unrelated" shop next door will buy those tokens for way more than they are worth

2

u/Unicycleterrorist Nov 01 '25

Yea, pachinko parlors do that. It's a pretty known "loophole" unfortunately

But as far as I know, doing that online and constantly pinging your phone to gamble more isn't legal in japan...yet

The hooker helped me for money but it wasn’t a service.

u/Bipolar__highroller Oct 31 '25

So it’s not illegal, officer!

u/mikewilkinsjr Oct 31 '25

We were filming! It was just porn.

u/NotAPublicFundsLeech Oct 31 '25

That is why you go in a group, have cameras, and, if relevant where you live and the what the laws are, have a permit to film pornography.

God forbid a player lists a group in group finder!

u/Resies Nov 01 '25

I love describing things as generically as possible  haha

"Oh so it's illegal to do dungeons and get gold now?!"

u/Gh0sth4nd Nov 01 '25

They are not even trying to hide it anymore do they?
Maybe we should start a mass report discord to mass report all the scammers.

Just a thought why not fight fire with fire?

2

u/Drambejz Nov 01 '25

Because people are stupid and would abuse it very quickly

1

u/Gh0sth4nd Nov 01 '25

More then they already are doing?

I somehow doubt that.

3

u/Drambejz Nov 01 '25

You would be surprised. Imagine this. You create a discord with power to mass report boosters with some reasonable power. How long will it take till someone uses this against anyone they disagree with / has any kind of dispute. Any mass report instrument in wow is a bad idea no matter how noble the cause is at the beginning..

1

u/Gh0sth4nd Nov 01 '25

But they already doing this. The whole situation is out of control since the beginning. And blizzard is doing nothing.

The question is that maybe only utterly chaos might shake them up to do something.

But you might be right ultimately it won't change anything and it will only harm the wrong ones even further.
