C'mon, fess up. Have you paid a group to get you (or a friend) through content for something you wanted but couldn't achieve any other way?

✭✭✭✭✭Mmm, i do content for fun... And i would never buy a carry because it is supposed to be an achievement. For the same reason i will never sell one.8 -

✭✭✭✭I’ve been in groups where I know I have been carried
I’ve been in groups where it’s felt like I was carried
I’ve been in groups where I know I’m doing the carrying
Wouldn’t dream of paying for any of them. What’s the point of an achievement that you haven’t earned?12 -

Legends never die
They're written down in eternity
But you'll never see the price it costs
The scars collected all their lives
When everything's lost, they pick up their hearts and avenge defeat
Before it all starts, they suffer through harm just to touch a dream
Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause
Legends never die12 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'm Scottish, a carry (out ) is a normal Friday night
But no F that' not paying millions to have an ugly looking skin2 -
DovahkiinHeart✭✭✭I don't understand how some people can buy a carry and live with the conscience that they did not earned the gear/title, and yet still parade it around and lie about it. But furnishings? It doesn't make sense to lock something non-PVE related behind PVE challenges. They're not like mounts/titles/gear where everyone sees it. To me, they're fair game and I'd be bluntly honest if someone asked me where/how I got those. If it bothers anyone, they can die mad about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Edited by DovahkiinHeart on May 14, 2019 2:05PM3 -

✭✭✭No interest in a carry. I don't care about cosmetics or rewards. I care about experiencing the game. Part of that is the experience to learning to clear content.
I can see why a RPer might want a carry to get a cosmetic for RP. I can see why a PvP player might want to just quickly get gear from PvE content to use in PvP. I respect that. I don't expect anyone to do content they aren't interested in when they have the gold to skip it.
I am embarrassed though for people who do it to show off a title. That is pretty pathetic.4 -

✭✭✭✭✭I don't group or do dungeons in the first place.
And I think that these "prestige" skins/etc are ugly, and wouldn't use them if I had them.
So, no. No reason to do it.
That said, I've got no problem with people doing it - I've seen guilds "selling" their raid runs since vanilla WoW. It's a regular part of MMO'ing. /shrugThey charge more gold than ive ever had at one time in my life of playing.
Well, yeah. That too.

kmcaj✭✭✭✭✭No, but only because I don't have the gold nor is there anything I'm interested in that I would want to get instantly. Doesn't seem any different from buying crowns for gold to me. It's just a video game and suppose to be fun so whatever makes it fun for you is the way to go.2

✭No. But I have no problem with people who do, generally. If someone doesn't enjoy raiding or can't do the content for some reason, I'm glad they can buy a carry (especially if I'm getting paid) but...
I've seen people who bought carries act like they legit earned it. Like they don't think the endgame community is small and everyone is basically gonna know you're lying. It's just embarassing, don't do that lol.PC NA
