FAQ

How Slash2 matching works, from your first key to your payout.

Using Slash2

Do I need an account on the website?

No. Everything happens in Discord with buttons: pick your region, link a character, join the queue or request a key, accept a match, and rate it afterwards. The website is optional. It's where you can see your history, gold earned and Priority status, and an account is created for you the first time you use the bot.

How do I request a Mythic Plus run?

Join the Discord, pick NA or EU in #start-here, and hit Get a Boost in #na-mplus or #eu-mplus. Choose the key level and your class, and the bot matches a tank, healer and two DPS. Keys up to +16 are matched automatically. +17 and above go to approved high-key teams, and you're pulled into a private thread with whoever claims 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 does payment work?

Prices are set per key level and posted in the Discord. Your exact price shows before you confirm, with no haggling and no surprise totals. The gold is split evenly between the four players, and Slash2 takes no cut.

How do I join the queue and earn gold?

Join the Discord, pick your region, and hit Apply for M+ with your Raider.IO profile. Your class, roles and score are read automatically. Then hit Join Queue (or Quick Join) and you're in the draw. Accept match DMs within 90 seconds. No subscription needed.

When do I pay?

Gold is traded upfront, before the run starts. The buyer pays each player their split directly, in game, then invites them. The price is shown when you make the request and is split evenly between the four players — no role gets a bigger cut. Only ever invite the exact character name listed on your match.

How is my group chosen?

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 player. Players 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 players stay eligible for every match. Matched players have 90 seconds to accept. Anyone who doesn't is replaced automatically.

What if the key isn't timed?

Keys up to +14 are guaranteed timed. If the group misses the timer, you get one free redo, unless the miss was caused on your side (for example, leaving early or ignoring the group's calls).

What is Priority, and does it change my gold?

Priority is an optional $5/mo or $50/yr Stripe subscription for players in the queue. It gives you 2x selection weight, priority queue placement, 3 active high-key claims and the 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. Hit Check Status, then Cancel on your request any time before you're matched. Once a group is assembled, message them in the coordination thread instead of disappearing. If you're in the queue and can't finish, hit Leave and you'll be replaced automatically.

What happens if nobody's available?

Requests that can't be filled within 24 hours are cancelled automatically, nothing is charged, and you get a DM. Open a ticket in #support and staff will try to fill it by hand.

Is Slash2 free to use?

Yes. Nobody pays the platform anything for a key, only gold to the players, in game. They keep 100% of it. Optional Stripe subscriptions (Supporter $1/mo or $10/yr, Priority $5/mo or $50/yr) fund hosting and development and are 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. Group payments are in-game gold only, traded directly between players. There are no real-money trades inside WoW. The optional Stripe subscriptions are a real-money payment to us for platform features — they never buy gold, and they never change how a key 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.
