What are you waiting for Blizzard? Literally EVERY run on my server is GDKP.

Thereâs three kinds of people. Pumpers. Buyers. And the naive idealists who want âclassicâ to mean something.

I am glad that on pumper side xd
I think that GDKP runs are both good and bad but in my opinion, I feel that they have more of a negitive effect on the community than a good one.
My main gripe with GDKP runs is that fact that guilds loose players who would rather go to a GDKP than work as a guild.
I guess that says alot about the player in a sense.
It also promotes gold buying which also increases bots thus causing damage to the wow economy.
TLDR; I am for banning GKDPs

No blame tho. In GDKP even if you are unlucky getting an item, you still donât work for free and are rewarded at least somehow for participation. Whereas in a Guild, especially LC or SR ones, you can end up working for free. I know, a help to guild is a reward on itâs own, but experiencing this several weeks in a row seeing other mates entering GDKPs in the very same situation (no item win for weeks), but still filling their pockets, can get really frustrating.
Guild loot distribution creators should come up with some new system that rewards participation.

In a guild group every single piece of gear is a guild loot drop.
Even if you donât get the item personally, the group as a whole grows stronger and you do as well by proxy. Itâs a group effort, not a single player game.
Your reward for killing the boss and getting loot is that the group will have an easier job the next time.
A guild isnât about the individuals but about everyone. The item should go to the one who can make the best use of it.
In GDKP youâre only thinking about yourself, you donât care about the others since chances are you wonât be playing with them the next week or the week after and so on.

I see your point however the reward for me is very much the same as it was many years ago, its about being part of a guild that is there to the end and clear all content together.
I have no interest in speed runs! I am here to re-live my experiences from 2006 onwards with a great bunch of people.
We appreciate the time we spend together and I donât pay money for a subscription to just log in, and pay to win. I acutally enjoy the social aspect but I do agree, everyone is different and not everyone will share my view.
There are 1000 posts like this , including mine.
Sadly selfish pumpers or 1 hour a day casual gaming andies with warglaive and greens are too adicted to their illegal gold and their personal ââfun / raid without issuesââ aspect.
There are polls on classic reddit that favors over %70 for banning it, but no. Itâs 2022. No progress, no social aspect for you. Itâs either you gonâ carry or gonâ be carried. Nobody has time for loot drama or free raids $$$$$. Just play korean f2p MMOâs. They are even less p2w then this thanks to people defending this RMT catalyst.
Selling BoP items are the new normie now. and selfish pumpers are just laughing at us

I agree.
However actual data show that this ideology is no longer sustainable in the long run. Peopleâs mentality changed over time (thatâs an irreversible process) and it no longer goes well with the old guild spirit. Popularity of gdkp runs is on the rise while more and more guilds struggling to keep the roster stable.
Guilds need to find a way to provide something similar to what gdkp runs provide. DKP or any of its variants is a good way to keep members engaged, however even that kind of system is on decline. SR or LC is completely unthinkable in current state of the game. Guilds need an innovation. A new system to motivate individuals within rather than group as a whole, to adapt to actual mainstream mentality. Mark my words, no innovation = no survive. Trying to change the players is 100% impossibru as we see now, but it is in our power to change the system.
Find a guild, you peasant.
Yeah so people can rage quit in middle of a progress because they lost an item, buys gold, joins gdkp and gets the item.
Happened to me twice even in classic vanilla nax times, cant even imagine it now people falling for gdkpâs and ruining entire comps and progressâŚ
Happy 12th birthday. Thats the age of people who seem to make up things that are not true just to win an argument somehow. (yes I made that up now too to show how stupid it is )
Most people who raid in guilds join gdkps when its the non current raids. If you raid sunwell but no more BT the raiders join BT for gold and below.
Just yes, I honestly do not know stupid you gotta be for not banning this already, but hey Blizzard hasnât done anything good, except the XP buff/nerfs in the last few weeks.
Not even the dungeon changes e.g. Knockdown after a minute which you canât FAP/IB/Bubble or increased movement speed are completely dumb which screw over people that have been playing the game like it is supposed to be for a very long time and also had to deal with the stupid inflations that were caused by RMT/Bots.
Through the addition of those uncreative mechanics Bots just got another edge over the normal everyday player, because of the fact they do their botting nonstop and with seemingly Blizzard not giving a damn about those.
I report those on a daily basis and STILL SEE THEM DO THE SAME ACTIVITY THEY DID BEFORE.
People buy the gold from those bots and go to the first GDKP, get loot and can enjoy the game, which is not how the game was ever intended to play.
