The last remaining wow players defending this are huffing copium through their vape pens.
straight up hope anyone selling carries in ffxiv gets banned, this is not ffxiv way .. tbh i only have seen this in the party finder in shadowbringers i hope ffxiv fix this problem soon, hopefully before endwalker
All would be okay if there was no WoW token that directly buys in-game money with real money. Its like Blizzard thing people cant put one and one together.
I don't have a problem with the practice itself in isolation, there's a lot of reasons for it. Like working 40+ hours a week ands school and you just want to do the one raid with friends to chill out and have fun but don't have the time to mine up currency and rep to get the gear you need via RNG's good graces. HOWEVER, I'd argue as presented by WoW, it's morally ambiguous at best as it's a solution they're now selling to a problem they created like the reps and lasagna of RNG. Simply put, paying to win is being sanctioned by a co-leader of a AAA studio. That is a problem I don't think can be understated.
Mike Yefucked up
Wasn't he that guy post a Twitter of himself maxing out his classes to the wow community?
Buy carries with real money mean you pay for other player so its illegal. Buy gold with real money then buy carries with gold mean you pay for blizzard, ofc blizzard will allow it.
No legal reason? really? MSQ story skip 10$=300k gill, lvl boost 21$=500k gill, you can create new account or character-> buy boost -> trade gill. Its alwasy blows my mind when people say that you cant buy gill.
I think for ff14 the tos will be changed in endwalker for boosting it would be the most logical time to change the tos as most ppl don't read it lol because they Want to play
Imagine your game being so unfun and soul-crushing to play that people are willing to spend cash to skip as much of it as possible.
I can’t wait for the day when nerdSlayer makes the death of WoW video and it’s a 10 hour long videos or a 10 part series. And toward the end it’s just more and more depressing.
Love the shirt. Spent so much time playing that during my childhood. I have to get that game again.
It is bad because it means the systems in wow are not working and people are not playing the game the way people should be.
People are mad because of his position at the company and how boosting is ruining the game. They know the issue but won’t address it
He is new to the job so not his fault but it is another reason to giveup hope on things getting better
THERES nothing wrong with selling boost for gold!
I mean isn't this what phone games do? delude the value of real money by making you buy an higher numbered artificial currency to use ingame…
Problem is, if people buy the carries directly with money(100% cheaper than money to gold value) then how will blizz get all that juicy slacker money?
This is why NFT Gaming will be the future
what a shit show wow is
literally something everyday with blizz lmao
So it's against blizzard TOS to advertise boosts in the group finder already. They just don't moderate it. They rely on the community to report it but all it does is hide the post from the player (at least so it seems)
They need to just put a filter in for keywords and it would cut down hard
Morning Coffee ☕️ and Quazii. Actually brewing Coffee while watching this.
The Optics 👀 does look bad on this, and from all people being Blizzard honchos!
Selling for gold not real money, people wildin' out about this.
Selling carries for gold has been around for the last 18 years of WoW, Final Fantasy players sell Ultimate runs, I literally see every day people selling ultimate runs for $110, this is how MMO's work.
They probably make a good chunk from token so they inspire boosting in user agreement. My thoughts that they need atleast ban advertisement in party finder and in global chat. (i dont play wow for 6 months so maybe im dumb)
They may really need that shit in game right now to handle all loss of income because of state of a game.
I hope they cancel .3 patch and rush it to new expansion to wipe all shit they had and make at least descent game.
tl dr either play other game like ff or take some HOPIUM pills with COPIUM gas cylinder
So that dancing emote I cant get it now right?
It's like some governments want to legalize drugs so they can grab some money instead of drug dealers get all of it, it is what blizzard is doing, charging a "fee" to do "legal" stuff what is considered "illegal"
I play on datacenter Light on ff14 and i see more and more adds in shout (general chat) in limsa. ppl selling gil and mogstation items online. So this is starting to become bad in the ff14 chat as well.
So, basically WoW is P2W and FFXIV is not.
The issue is that boosts and content skips are necessary and a good thing to have just the same as you should always let players skip cutscenes. No matter how good or important they are, just let players skip them. There's always going to be reasons people use that feature that you didn't account for, never mind that people just play games differently.
What's really different between FF14 and WoW is the culture itself surrounding these features. I know the FF community gets a bit loud and scary sometimes but the general sentiment remains strongly "play the game your way, but if you skip you're missing out". WoW on the other hand has this ridiculous social stigma it's built up that the endgame, top-tier raid content is the ONLY content worth playing (because it usually is) and if you don't skip you're just wasting your time.
FF makes level skips available for the convenience of its player base at their own leisure.
WoW basically pressures you into buying level skips. Because cash money.
Seriously who the fuck would play a game that constantly harasses you to pay even more money to play LESS of it wtf.
In FFXIV you buy gil from RMT. Only advertisement RMT accounts are banned
Botting is also prevalent, they never get banned (or if they do, it takes months)
Not that I'm here to defend Blizzard, I only play FFXIV. But I don't like how people are hyping FFXIV and SE too much
The thing I didnt get is how you then converte Gold to real money.
There's really no real way to really completely shut down RMT – that said, actual company staff that condones it, some extra big red flags
Man im stupid irl but news like this make me feel less sad about myself and my depression.
What you Not saying is your getting the gold from a player for the Subscription, blizzard is not making up gold to sell, part of wow is gold farming
This is just unbelievable tone def.
If this is WoW's leadership, then the slow decline will only continue.
At this point I think the wow Leadership is shorting their own stock with me and are doing their best to tank the stock as fast as possible …… can’t complain , bad for wow , great for my short position
Can't believe people were defending him over this too. It's incredibly tone deaf to do this now, especially after a lot of players and some streamers cited this as one of the reasons they quit the game.
This will eventually kill off their WoW raiding scene, and the scene will be left with raiders looking to make quick bucks + boosters
I can already see the future of WoW haha good riddance
Every time one mentions sell carries, I would definitely love it a lot more when "to those losers" is added, to make the statement more precise
