In Destiny 2, there are many weapons that players must work hard for. “Carry services” and individual players profit from this and want to sell Guardians guaranteed access to the items – for real money. However, these practices are highly frowned upon in the community.
What should one pay for? In Destiny 2, there are some popular weapons that players can earn either through enormous achievements in PvP or tedious quests.
So-called “carry” or “boosting services” take advantage of this situation: they promise players access to activities or take over the entire steps to the item – for the right price.
If players want to use one of these services, they sometimes have to dig deep into their pockets.
We advise against using services: This article is only for information to take a curious look at this practice.
We strongly advise you to refrain from using such services.
“Boosting,” that is, sharing your account information with third parties who play your characters in your place, violates the terms of use of Battle.net, Xbox Live, and PlayStation Network.
The use of paid “carries,” that is, one or more players who take you through PvP or other PvE activities, is not well received in the community.
You would only deprive yourself of the fun of paying other people to play a game for you.
What is the Luna’s Howl worth if it is not earned but purchased?
How much does it cost? There are some websites that offer players “boosting” or “recoveries.” Players pay certain amounts to the services so that so-called pro gamers then log in to their accounts and do the unwanted grind for the best weapons or activities for them.
Depending on whether players want to skip a certain quest step or the entire procedure, the price also increases:
- One site offers Not Forgotten between $230 and $500.
- The exotic sniper Izanagi’s Burden costs $300.
- The Forsaken raid Last Wish costs up to $120.
In addition to services where strangers log into one’s own account, there are also “carries” where buyers are taken through PvP or raids by supposedly experienced players.
Players complain that such practices have increasingly spread to LFG sites, where they seek groups to play together.
This is what players say: In the Destiny subreddit and in the Bungie forum, Guardians have long been speaking out against such services. Especially Crucible players complain: they may come together in matchmaking with accounts of players who normally demonstrate about the same skill levels, but these then get taken over by pro players.
As they would supposedly have a higher chance of winning, honest players would thus be at a disadvantage.
Even in PvE, the negative aspects of paid services would become apparent. For Guardians, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find teammates for activities on LFG sites that do not want to be paid for it.
Alleged boosting also proved fateful for this player:
