Boosting is a great way to earn gold in World of Warcraft. But in early 2022, there were rule changes from developer Blizzard to limit “professional” boosting. Since after an initial decline, everything was back to the way it was before the change, someone has now taken matters into their own hands. Blizzard probably didn’t do it.
Boosting in World of Warcraft involves using other players to pull you through content to complete it faster. In WoW, there are entire communities that specialize in boosting.
They collect gold for their services and were able to earn a golden nibble in the past. But at the beginning of 2022 (theoretically) there was an end to large-scale boosting activities. Developer Blizzard changed the rules and banned boosting.
However, boosting was not completely banned. If you want to offer boosting service on your server, you can still do it in the trade channel. It is important that you participate in the boosting run yourself.

However, large boosting communities offer their services on many WoW servers. However, the players who post the boosting offer in the channel are rarely if ever on the boosting runs. Or the whole thing is organized directly outside of WoW – on Discord, for example.
After the rule change, there was a drop in boosting, but after a while everything went back to normal – as if the new rules didn’t exist.
Obviously, someone didn’t want to put up with that. According to consistent player reports, Discord servers and Discord accounts associated with boosting communities were banned.
However, this only affected EU communities. The biggest names that lost their Discord server:
- Twilight
- Nova
- Dawn
- Oblivion
- Sylvanas

As a reason for the ban, Discord says: “Your account has participated in the sale, promotion, or distribution of cheats, hacks, or cracked accounts” (via wowhead.com).
However, banned was only on Discord – some servers and accounts of server admins. The WoW accounts of the affected players are still active. In addition, there was no Discord ban on the US communities.
This suggests that developer Blizzard had nothing to do with the bans on Discord. The attack on the boosting community apparently came from somewhere else. At the moment, however, it’s completely unclear what led to the locks.
What do you think, how did it come to the curious locks? Is there a single person behind it, or did a larger group get together to draw Discord’s attention to the boosting servers?
Do you think the ban is okay at all? In a poll on MeinMMO we found out that some readers have nothing against boosting itself.
