Has anyone actually confirmed this? That linked post is dated 8/13/08
Old post is old... unless it's changed in the past 12 hours, boosting RAF still works.
Tested it just now in SM Cath and RAF is still working with a 70 boosting paladin.
Is it just me, or does it seem like every Tuesday someone posts about boosting being nerfed with RAF. Can't test it here at work so I have to take your word for it. Come on, new rule -- no more posts about this being nerfed unless you confirm it yourself.
When a blue posts it and they update it in their FAQ I take it as truth until proven otherwise. I don't have RAF and I don't boost. I posted it as a heads up for people who are thinking about doing it so they don't buy 4 accounts thinking they can boost and then it turns out they can't.Quote:

Well their FAQ was updated on 8/8 with that information, but it's been working ever since. Someday it will go away (maybe)....
I would expect that "buyer beware" anyone new that is setting up RAF accounts would read the FAQ and see that it clearly says :
and realize that while RAF currently DOES give bonus XP in such a situation, that it is NOT INTENDED and could start working as intended at ANY time.Quote:
If the mob is trivial to either character, no experience bonus is earned.
This means that if you have Player A (level 50 veteran character) grouped with Player B (level 30 RaF character) and they kill a mob that is level 32, since the mob is trivial to Player A, no bonus experience is awarded.
I think all the post was saying is concerned w/ linked accounts....I have my RaF accounts and a seperate account w/ my pally booster and it still works today 09 23 08.
I just said screw it and cancelled all my boxing accounts today, including 2 RAF accounts, at least until wotlk, and even then I'm not 100% sure I'll be back to 5 boxing, I'm just having too much fun with WAR atm. I will definitely keep my main wow account, but beyond that only time will tell.
Edit: Had a total of 7 WOW accounts, now just 1, at least for the next few months.
After the fix is made, I believe that if a 70 is grouped with the lowbies, when the lowbies turn in the quest they will still get triple XP for it. The only time they won't is when the group kills a mob that doesn't give XP to the 70.Quote:
