Why only the bad part of the community writes here?
Instance Boosting is not the problem!
The advertising and selling of this is the problem!
And without the Dungeonfinder low level instances are dead.
The love of Classik Wotlk are the various ways you can play the game. I for myself Hate quests and questing and want to lvl over instances, but the tool to do that is soo bad designed in classik. and noone searches “hours” in the lfg chat for a low lvl group…
pls Bring Dungeonfinder!
without Dungeonfinder the instance boosting is the only way to lvl up alts. Or you give me a repeatable buyable Boost to 70! But no Dungeonfinder and no instance boosting= dead game for Smurfs/Twinks.
What I dislike about this game: the levelling process
What I like about this game: Max level dungeons, collecting prebis and raiding with multiple characters
If boosting is destroyed, I’m cancelling 2 if not all 3 of my accounts. CBA as a minority faction on a pvp server to go through the levelling process with several characters.
Complete waste of time, there is a reason why boosting exists in the first place.
Sure bud there’s so many more pros that you failed to mention a single one. But what would a lvl19 know of that… or you too ashamed to post that sillyness with main?
Pros: ???.. - oh yea, you personally will feel better that others are forced into misery with you, since you can’t boost yourself/don’t have friends to do it
Cons: less characters doing endgame content/heroics/raiding, selling/buying from AH, gathering mats, populating the world, building communities, content and interest in the game.
And any of the “Encourages RMT, bad!” arguments (which I agree with) are way more relevant to GDKPs, which is why this topic is being hijacked that way all the time. Boosting 1-70 costs less than buying a single big item.
Im gonna use my 2 accounts to gank low levels trying to level outside dungeons because of this change. Legit gonna sit every day for 6+ hours when i find it suitable. Then you can talk about Nurture and Protect Social Experiences and Approachable and Familiar
Also i have never seen a more wierd post about “Look what’s ahead of WOTLK”. It’s filled with crazy words without any real meaning to them, atleast not for the most people. Maybe for the bats*it crazy people out there who can make some sense out of it.
Any information about PvP at all? No?
Removing Racials to make it a fair fight in the Arena?
Removing the ability to use PvE items inside of Arena since u gain advantage by the worst loot system ever implemented in any game?
Having people wait for legit 10 weeks to get ahead by RNG’ing home loot like a lottery?
While one person might get 3-4 BiS pieces from PvE to PvP in 1 week since he is a part of the Loot Council or Guild Master/Officer?
Any information about being able to buy items and get ahead in GDKP’s?
As someone previously said. People who have been through this game for 6-7+ years do want to minmax.
I myself playing on a high rating with 7-8+ characters want to be able to do that as smoothly as possible. I dont wanna have to raid to be ontop of another person in PvP.
I wanna be able to use the mage on my second account to boost characters. But now you are gonna make the people using 4-5 accounts with characters just multiboxing them using software have an even easier time.
Also the most important part. Why did you increase the rate at which you gain Arena Points at the last part of TBC; Then only to release Wrath of the Lich King super early?
Can we have a release date that’s clsoe to autumn / winter? Most of the nordic people legit only have 4 months to enjoy summer in real life. If you wait with release until September it would be gladly appreciated.
The open world is gonna be a very beautiful, social and safe space now that they force millions of mages outside to farm in the open world
Maybe you should remove gold from the game, implement vendor’s where you can buy enchants / gems for free so a person dont have to be locked inside and addictive s*itty game environment? So they can focus on what they enjoy in the game instead.
And not get hit by people SITTING ON THE AUCTIONHOUSE FOR 16 HOURS A DAY TRYING TO BE WARREN BUFFET?
“HI I HAVE GOLD, LOTS OF IT, ILL BUY ALL RESOURCES OFF AUCTION HOUSE AND RAISE THE PRICE BY 2000%”
Next joke. My words are simple: You don’t get to decide how other people run their groups. End of story, no ifs and no buts.
If people want to distribute their loot based on how much they like someone? Fine. If they want to distribute loot based on a random number generated roll? Fine. If they want to distribute loot based off of how much gold somebody is willing to pay? Fine.
If you don’t like any of those systems, you don’t join those groups. Plain and simple.
False. I support people’s choice to run their groups however they see fit, I don’t support people botting and buying gold: Both of those things happened LONG before the popularity of GDKP runs, and both of those things will happen should Blizzard find a way to remove GDKP runs.
Quite a few of them, my response was as “edgy” as required for the recipient.
I don’t care, nor does anybody else. Bye.
Except people can and still did sell loot with a personal loot system. Personal loot just screwed everybody out of every other system and didn’t fix a single problem that it was supposed to.
Why do you even participate on these forums if you feel like peoples’ opinions don’t matter at all? Isn’t that why these forums exist, to discuss things and share your opinions about different subjects? Not really understanding why you spend your time here if nothing matters at all
I didn’t say “at all”, I said on the subject. If you don’t know how or why something works, your opinion on the matter is worthless. You can apply that logic to many things in life.
Look at it this way. I don’t play retail. I’ll never play retail again. I can tell you exactly why I don’t play retail and why I never will, I can tell you what I think is bad and why it should change.
But I’ll STILL never play retail again, so my opinion on the matter is worthless. What’s the point in me wanting to change or remove something that others enjoy when it has absolutely no affect on me whatsoever?
I’m here to tell people that GDKP isn’t the problem, Blizzard not pulling their fingers out of their rears and dealing with botting is the problem. Botting and gold selling was a problem long before GDKP became popular.
Have you played TBC Classic at an end-game level? (not talking about OG, I’m talking about current Classic TBC)
Because GDKP runs are absolutely running rampant with RMT/RWT, and removing ways for gold farmers to fuel GDKP runs is a HUGE step in the right direction, because while GDKP runs themselves aren’t against the rules, they’ll be less frequent and flourishing once players can no longer simply buy mass amounts of gold to directly/indirectly buy gear from GDKP runs.
If you have 25 players who are completely innocent and pure, never bought any gold from anyone and earned it all themselves and then they all did a GDKP raid, the loot pricing would be much lower, more reasonable and manageable since they’ll be more careful to consider what they bid on, and the leader would have to significantly reduce the cost of items.
A group like this would be quite rare since the players would then have to grind/make more gold to fund their next run.
With players buying gold from gold farmers, GDKP runs are much more frequent and so the gearing process is less organic.
Less/no boosters = Less gold in circulation = Less gold-buyers = Less GDKP runs = More intended & organic social interactions with PUG raids and an increase in raiding guild recruitment.
Yes. I play in a casual dad-gamer guild, we only just cleared KJ yesterday. I’ve done the odd KT/SSC GDKP and sometimes join Naxx GDKP runs; I find the GDKP system for older content much more fair than random rolling.
I’ve constantly said that GDKP isn’t the problem; gold selling and botting is. Both of those things existed before GDKP was popular and both of those things will exist even if Blizzard somehow managed to ban GDKP runs but does nothing about botters.
Gold inflation is always going to be a problem in WoW, it’s going to be huge in WoTLK since there’s so many dailies and they’re easy to do;and player power in comparison to world-mobs is much higher than in TBC.
Blizzard actually can’t do anything about GDKP runs unless they add forced personal loot, a system that absolutely butchered retail for many of us. And on top of that, it STILL didn’t stop people from buying raid clears.
Back in 2007, Jagex tried to stop gold selling and botting by limitting people’s ability to trade; that stunt went down in MMO history because of how badly it backfired.
“Intended pug raids”? Pugs were never “intended” in the first place.
there’s so many more pros that you failed to mention a single one. But what would a lvl19 know of that… or you too ashamed to post that sillyness with main?
Boosters. Your schemes are no more.
