No. Everything you need happens in Discord — linking a character, queueing, requesting a run, accepting a match, and rating afterwards. The website is optional: it's where you can look back at your run history, gold earned, and Priority status. An account is created for you automatically the first time you use the bot.
How do I buy a Mythic+ boost for gold?
Join the Discord and run /mplus request. Pick your key level, dungeon, and any preferences. Keys 2-16 are matched automatically. Keys 17 and above go to our approved high-key teams to claim, and you'll be pulled into a private thread with the team that takes it.
Do I play my own character, or does someone log into my account?
You play your own character, always. Slash2 is self-play only: your boosters are invited to your group and you run the key with them. Nobody logs into your account, and you should never give your Battle.net login or account details to anyone — not to us, not to a booster. Account sharing is against Blizzard's Terms of Service and is exactly the kind of thing enforcement action targets. If anyone on the platform asks for your account, report it.
How much does a Mythic+ boost cost?
Prices are set per key level and published in the Discord, where the price list is kept current. The exact price for your run is shown before you confirm the request, so you always see it up front — there's no negotiation and no surprise total. The gold is split evenly between the four boosters, and Slash2 takes no cut, so every coin you pay goes to the people running your key.
How do I start boosting for gold?
Join the Discord and run /mplus character link with your Raider.IO profile URL. Your class, roles, and score are read automatically and you'll be given the matching role. Then run /mplus queue join — or hit Quick Join — and you're eligible for matches. No subscription needed.
When do I pay for a Mythic+ boost?
Gold is traded upfront, before the run starts. The buyer pays each booster their split directly, in game, then invites them. The price is shown when you make the request and is split evenly between the four boosters — no role gets a bigger cut. Only ever invite the exact character name listed on your match.
How are boosters chosen for my run?
Buyers are matched strictly first-in, first-out. There is no way to pay to skip the queue, and no way to request a specific booster. Boosters are chosen by a weighted random draw — Priority subscribers carry double weight, and waiting longer raises your odds too, capped at 2x after an hour. Free boosters stay eligible for every match.
What is Priority, and does it change my gold?
Priority is an optional $5/month Patreon subscription for boosters. It gives you 2x selection weight, priority queue placement, 3 active high-key claims and the booster leaderboard. It does not change your gold split, and it has no effect on buyers — they're always matched FIFO regardless of what anyone pays.
Can I negotiate price or pick my booster?
No. Pricing and matching are automated through published rules and the bot — never through DMs, negotiation, or choosing a specific booster. That's the point: nobody, including us, can cut the line or play favourites.
What if something goes wrong?
After every completed run the buyer gets a Discord message with two buttons. "Went well" rates the whole group. "Report an issue" lets you say which specific party member the problem was with, so one person's behaviour doesn't affect everyone else's rating. Reports go straight to our team. Disputes over in-game gold are ultimately between the players involved — Slash2 doesn't hold gold and can't reverse a trade.
Can I cancel a request?
Yes — run /mplus cancel any time before you've been matched. Once a group has been assembled, message the group in your coordination thread rather than disappearing. If you're a booster who can't finish, use Leave (or /mplus leave) and you'll be backfilled automatically.
Is Slash2 free to use?
Yes. Buyers pay nothing to the platform — only gold to their boosters, in game. Boosters keep 100% of that gold. Slash2 takes no cut of any run. The optional Patreon subscriptions fund the platform's hosting and development; they're never required.
Safety and the rules
Is Slash2 allowed under Blizzard's rules?
What Blizzard's rules target is the damage boosting can do to the game around it — in-game advertising spam, account sharing, real-money trading, and middlemen holding other people's gold. Slash2 is built to produce none of it. We run entirely outside the game client. We do no in-game advertising and we forbid our members from advertising us in game, including in the Trade (Services) channel where Blizzard actually permits it. We never hold gold and provide no escrow, so there's no middleman to scam anyone. Boosting is gold-only, never real money. Every run is self-play, so nobody ever touches your account. That's the version of this we set out to build. It isn't a promise about how Blizzard will act — they write and enforce their own rules, and any action lands on your WoW account rather than on us, so read their policies and decide for yourself.
Is paying gold for a boost considered RMT?
No. Boosting payments are in-game gold only, traded directly between players. There are no real-money trades inside WoW. The optional Patreon subscriptions are a real-money payment to us for platform features — they never buy gold, and they never change how boosting is paid.
Does Slash2 hold gold or act as escrow?
No. Slash2 never holds gold and provides no escrow. The buyer trades each booster directly, in game, before the run. Because there's no middleman holding funds, boosters keep 100% and there's nothing for us to take a cut from — but it also means we can't reverse a trade if someone acts in bad faith.
What stops someone taking the gold and leaving?
Nothing on our side can force a trade — that's true of any gold marketplace. What we do have: every booster is a known, role-verified member rather than an anonymous advertiser; the post-run report names the specific person; and ratings follow people across runs. A booster who takes gold and drops is also breaking Blizzard's rules, so report them in game as well as to us.
Do I need to advertise in game?
No — and we don't allow it. Blizzard does let individual players advertise gold services in the in-game Trade (Services) channel added in patch 9.2.7, so our rule is the stricter one. We keep it that way because in-game advertising is what draws enforcement, and because you don't need it — the queue exists so you never have to spam a chat channel to find work or find a group. Don't advertise Slash2, or solicit for Slash2 runs, anywhere inside the game client.
Can you get banned for buying a WoW boost with gold?
Blizzard's enforcement has gone after in-game advertising spam, account sharing, real-money trading and botting — and Slash2 is built to keep you clear of all four. You play your own character, nobody logs into your account, no real money touches the boost, and there's no in-game advertising anywhere in the process. Nobody can promise you an outcome, though. Blizzard writes and enforces its own rules, those rules can change, and any action is applied to WoW accounts rather than to us, so the risk is yours to weigh.
