Self-play vs piloted boost: which is safer?

What self-play means

With self-play you log in yourself and join the boosters' group. You're there for every pull, you loot your own items and you get the achievements on your character in real time. Nobody else touches your account.

It's the default choice for Mythic+ and raids, and it's what most customers pick. The only thing it asks of you is your time: you need to be online when the run happens.

What piloted means

With a piloted boost, a booster logs into your account and plays the character while you're away. It's common for leveling, long World Tours or anything you'd rather not sit through yourself. It usually costs more, because the booster is playing your character instead of carrying it.

The trade-off is that someone else accesses your account. Sharing account access goes against Blizzard's terms, so a piloted service always carries more risk than self-play, no matter who does it.

Which one is safer?

Self-play is the safer option. Nobody logs in from another place, you never share your password and the boosters are simply players in your group, which is normal in the game.

Piloted can still be done carefully. At QuickCarry we never ask for your password in the checkout form: account access is arranged with you in a private channel, only the booster assigned to your order sees it, and you can change your password as soon as the order is done. We'd still rather tell you plainly that it's the riskier option than pretend otherwise.

How to choose

Pick self-play if you can be online for the run, if you want to watch and learn, or if you simply don't want to share your account. That's most Mythic+ keys and almost every raid.

Pick piloted if the service takes many hours spread over days, like powerleveling a new character or a long series of keys, and you can't be at the computer. In that case, use a unique password for your Battle.net account, change it as soon as the order is finished and keep Blizzard's authenticator turned on afterward.

What we offer

Every service on QuickCarry lets you choose. On a Mythic+ boost or a raid carry you'll see Self-Play and Piloted as two options with the price for each. Powerleveling is usually piloted, but self-play is available too. If you're unsure, message us before you buy and we'll tell you which one fits your case.
