CRAP!
That sucks...
I can understand where Blizz is coming from though.

Yea, the last blue thread I read was Syndri's, confirming that the design was that a 70 grouped with two RAF'ed lowbies would still let the lowbies get 3x experience, but it looks like they've changed their stance on that.Originally Posted by 'Razuya',index.php?page=Thread&postID=102202#post1 02202
As such, I'm going to level any new alts "normally" through questing, or boost them without using RAF. The safety of my accounts is more important.

True. Well if the haven't fixed it, I really don't see a problem still using it.
As I'm sure thousands of people would take advantage of it. I do find it hard to believe if they start throwing around bans though. But who knows.
EDIT: I can't see a quickfix or 2.4.x patch notes confirming.. I would dare say that it's still able to be used.. I'm about to test it out. I'll post with confirmation soon.
EDIT2: 3x EXP BOOSTING STILL WORKS. Just tested in in Strat 70 warrior + two level 45's.
Waiting ;(
Well, guess this whole thread is worthless now.
I for one am pretty pissed that Blizzard would come out and directly state that "Yes this is how it's intended to work" and then just a few days later change it to "Well... no it's not" after a lot of people took them up on the deal for that very reason.
Time to go 'flame on' in the CS forum I think.

Not sure if this matters but are you on a US server?
Doesn't matter if it still works -- the fact is, we have a blue post stating that it's NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK.
Just like you can still be a non-participant in the BG's, they didn't make it physically impossible - they just made it against the rules and put you in timeout if you're caught.
People are going to boost no matter if they get 3x experience or not... if you say you arent going to boost you are probably lying. Not to say you are trying to exploit... its just the people would rather run their toons through on a higher lvl than quest again. I know i sure would.
Hopefully they fix what they "think isnt intended" soon so those that do boost wont feel so bad.
An aside: I was thinking about this when I re-rolled a new group on a new server, with only a transferred level 61 rogue (with about 365 gold on her) to provide cash. While the faster leveling (via normal grouping, not the new 3x stuff) means less cash at the end, once you are level 70 you can just head to Quel'danas and cash in big time. You don't need a flying mount, or a level 60 mount... or any mount at all. And you can do more than a dozen quests a day and rake in the cash. Before long you'll have your ground mounts, your flying mounts, and even your epic flying mounts if you want them.So it's not exactly cost effective compared to questing, but at least when they're 70 they'll make it up in dailies.
No idea how WotLK affects this though. It'd be funny if you could do dailies for normal exp from 70-80.
