Blizzard is banning GDKP in SoD

WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria Classic Discussion

Just saw news on Wowhead about Blizzard banning GDKP in coming phase of SoD.

I don’t really understand how this will work out in practice, but here’s to hoping the same is done for Cataclysm Classic!

Edit: Hopefully something can be done about the GBID runs aswell who has been increasing in popularity.

“While we understand that there are some benefits for those who find this a convenient way to gain gear, we also recognize that there are concerns surrounding the erosion of traditional guild and social structures that are a part of the spirit of Season of Discovery.”

In their own words. If you think raiding without gold and/or money involved is too much of a hassle, you don’t need the gear either, to be quite frank.

well it will only eventually end up with sheer boost runs with fixed/auction on discord prices for HRs

and a lot more runs with multi HRs going

how people will do it ? simple - auction stuff on discord pre run - and then HR in game if it drops .

Meh who cares, GDKP guys will just make guild’s and sell boosts for clears"all in" like its goin on retail.

I do not play retail, but isn’t it more a result of the possibility of killing the boss multiple times just without loot? You can’t do that in sod or cata.

The option to kill the same boss multiple times on retail is not impacting loot as you are effectively not counting to player size to deduct number of items dropping.

The impact of banning GDKP in classic is depending on contingency planning done right now by GDKP players. I think that switching to guild, while formally managing the group out of the game is the best option.

  1. You take all transactions out of wow, so decrease of potential ban liability
  2. You setup discord or anything else to manage the runs, multiple guilds and payments.
  3. If you big time hustler, I see this as tremendous potential to make a deal with boosting companies to really take GDKP and industrialize it to gigacorporate level.
  4. While smaller players can circumvent payments by direct money transactions or alternative currency (I already saw these are underway)
