Gotta love that the NPC you can buy the Runecloth Bag Recipe from in Winterspring is constantly camped by at least 1-2 low level “players” (one of them amptly named “Givepattern”) and it is pretty much always out of stock.
Hells, the wowhead page even has the macro for buying it instantly under the comment section.
GDKP continues in closed Discord fora.
Goldbuying can continue.

Getting the pattern is the same investment as any other similarly valued one, that is, couple hours of focused gameplay. The difference is just that in this case you spam the buy macro instead of killing rare spawning mobs in wpl or whatever.
Right, because those who use bots to do that do the same investment, respecting others time and all huh? Very interesting point of view…
This is all caused by acceleration of content release. Blizzard could easily prevent that by allocating more time before raids are opened, by allocating more time for each phase, so those who came later will be able to get their drops and so on.
Classic part is around 15-16 months, so pretty much the same thing as it was. On top of that vanilla gear will be reset so if someone joins late for TBC it doesn’t matter…
If you can’t stand that you won’t have BiS for BWL and then BiS for AQ40 then you shouldn’t be playing this game. Majority won’t have and it will still work.
I agree in principle, but previously - even SoD - the complaints about slow cadence have been endless. I think that’s why BC was cut short. Which wasn’t ideal but mostly because unexpected.
So in my humble smarty-pants opinion we need accessible content, mostly. As long as I can reach 60 in half a year, find MC groups thereafter, gear reasonably fast, and then find AQ groups, I would have no reason to complain. Megaserver, might happen with LFD.
In MoPR people merrily ran entry tier raids - there was some reward in it. Gold, pet, you name it. We’re getting BC soon anyway and we already have bots, so I couldn’t care less about Blizzard injecting gold into the economy. Yes, I am working around GDKP which is quoted as the motivator for geared people to keep doing content below them. There is another solution - no gear tiers - but it’s not WoW-like.
14 days is a slap on the wrist and you know it. There are people talking openly in-game, on the forums, about having bought gold and getting away with it. It’s rampant. A guild leader ENCOURAGED ME TO BUY GOLD, I reported him, nothing happened. I left that place because there were more people defending gold buying and saying how easy it was and how Blizzard never does anything than there were people saying not to ever do it. The first offence should be a lot more of a stinger, 14 days is barely a risk and doesn’t stop people from “dipping their toes in”. People might actually think twice if they stood to lose something significant.
