Clarification on Boosting/Advertising

Shadowlands News Ice Crown

Given the recent announcement from Blizzard to cross-server boosting communities, some people have wondered what exactly qualifies as a boosting community compared to normal guild boosting, which Blizzard has allowed. Kaivax responded to one of the posts discussing this in order to clarify for the community.

Essentially, any boost advertising must be done on a character that can participate in the boost itself, which means players cannot use a level one proxy on another server to advertise their boosts, and Kaivax further mentions that advertisements based around gold can only be done in Trade chat. Advertising boosts in any other channel, or even the group finder, can end up getting your account penalized.

To provide more clarity for those who have been wondering where the lines are drawn in this new policy, we’d like to summarize that part of it.

Advertising for gameplay activities should be done by a WoW player-character who intends to participate in the gameplay activities. This means there should be no cross-realm advertising, and there should be no advertising from non-participating players.

And as before, the only place that advertising a “for gold” activity is allowed is the Trade channel. Advertising in any other chat channel or the Group Finder makes the player subject to actions against their account.
