Boosting /played time /w recruit-a-friend

So what's up now?

1. Is the 3x XP on linked account still working?

2. So if a non-linked 70 booster joins them in an instance grind, it is bannable?

3. Does that mean, a 70 booster to non-linked, non-RAF account is also bannable?

4. So there's no advantage to buy new RAFs account for the sole purpose of getting them boosted with a non-linked 70, right?

1. Yes
2. Seems that way until they fix it in which case the group would not get the 3x xp (just reg boosting xp)
3. Waiting to hear on that one
4. Right ;(

That thread was more clear on the info.

1. There's no bannable thing about a 70 boosting in instance with lowbies.

2. They only disabled the 3x xp gained by the linked accounts when a 70 or higher level make the kill "trivial."

Thanks Sanctume. That is a very big load off my shoulders. I don't care if they disabled the 3x exp if I'm boosting. I just want to be able to boost and not get in trouble if I want to.

Ok I don't understand Blizz's stance on this. It was ok to boost a character with a level 70 before RAF. Always has and always was acceptable. But because they implemented the RAF feature it is no longer acceptable, so long as the characters getting boosted are not linked.....

Sounds very hypocritical to me personally.

You'll be fine. If they were going to ban the boosters, 35% of WoW's Population would be owned

It's always been fine to boost. What they are removing is the ability to what's now considered an exploit of the RAF 300% bonus. In essence, whenever you have a 70 in the group you should never get 300% experience. Just the normal 100% (or 200% if you're rested)

Honestly it makes sense to me that they are doing this. I know it makes us all sad but wow boosting with 3x exp would just be retarded. At least with the normal 300% exp I can actually play my warlock team. Also did they remove it yet or is it still in? Everything is leading me to believe that 300% exp is already gone if you boost.
