I have heard many people say that boosting is cheating, but is it really? If someone boosts to level up, don't they end up paying for it when they suck it up in competitions? Is boosting achievements bad considering that achievements aren't even part of the base game and don't affect gameplay? Leave your thoughts below.

For those who don't know what boosting is.
Anyway, anything that makes games easier for the people who lack skills in games is pretty much cheating. Like cheat codes or hacking.

But what about for achievements? Is that type of boosting cheating or not since achievements aren't part of the actual game?

Well I'm not gonna lie, I have boosted, but it was for a ridiculous trophy. Ever heard of the Auf Weidersehen Petrovic trophy for GTA IV? You have to win every variation of multiplayer games. That, by itself isn't too hard, but when there are over 200 variations of racing, it gets kind of ridiculous. I don't think I know anyone who didn't boost that trophy

Boosting is allowed in CoD unless there's something legally saying it isn't.

That, and I think you should elaborate on the term "boosting", boosting in World of Warcraft is accepted much more than in CoD, for example.

I can see why they would boost, I would hate grinding prestiges personally.

I wouldn't do it, but I see the point certainly.

its a bit of a wierd area tbh
some games require insane ammounts of grinding to gean ranks etc
but its generally frowned upon
genral rule of thumb
shooters with ranking=frowned upon
rpg games =accepted or even encouraged

You must have
1) No Skill
2) Have No Life
3) Be a Retard
To be boosting.
It's just that simple


id kinda disagree there, it all depends on what your playing
take for example an old game like d2, id say at least 90% of the players boosted through lower difficulties, and once through would farm or boost in the highest level areas to level up faster
there it didnt bother anyone,because even boosting it took massive ammounts of time
