GDKP is the only reason people need lots of gold and here RMT comes for it. i understand that dungeon boosting is wrong and the change for not getting EXP with a high level was a good idea to solve that problem, but changing dungeon creatures is horribly wrong and against the game rules, every one needs some gold in game when AH exists , trainings exists, etc etc etc. and people have their own way to farm some gold. and even with changing dungeons blizzard removed the exploring old contents for new player who wish to go to old ones and do them solo to explore the game.

Not true. For example, there are people buying gold in large quantities to spend it on raid consumables for their mains and alts, because they donât want to spend time farming it.
What rules are You talking about?
You still can go and explore old dungeons at 70, nothing prevents You from that. Just run past mobs, or kill one pack at the time. Also, without boost more people will explore old world dungeons while leveling.

no body needs that much money for consumables since they are cheap.
rules are role playing. you can and you should be able easily do solo old contents.
with that change even in levelup if you overpull even by accident thats gonna be a wipe
Donât know what do You mean by âthat muchâ, but my point still stands: RMT is not connected only with GDKPâs. People buy gold with real money for different purposes.
There are no such rules. Some of the old content canât be soloed, as it requires more than one person for the mechanic.
Yes, overpulling often leads to a wipe. Thatâs why players should learn to pull and utilize crowd control. Mobs standing in separate packs, patrols, mobs running away at low health are all intentional game mechanics aimed at making pulling and controling the number of engaged mobs interesting.
I just love the utter drivel thatâs thrown around on these forums sometimes. Fantastic.
GDKP in itself still isnât the issue. People buying gold is. Iâve said it before:
Ban people that buy gold, and ban them hard. 1+ month for a first time offfender is the least. 2nd time they are permabanned.
Maybe even permaban them the first time. They do all know that it is against ToS.
That would stop, or at least minimize, the goldbuying and therefor the bots.

As a former local MMORPG gm, the thing you say is, on first glance sounds really easy to confirm and do, but actually its very complicated and hard thing to do while avoiding banning regular innocent players. The best way to ban RMT is not giving people a mandatory reason to buy gold, therefore, making gold bidding while raiding forbidden will make a healthier enviroment for sure

Banning bots would lead to everybody having to make their own G by actually playing, either running dungeons, farming mats, playing the AH ⌠in short playing. Some people love earning in-game money (not me 
) GDKP is just a way of using in-game money. Letâs make sure itâs in-game money by cutting the source = bots.
If Blizzard wanted to, it really wouldnât be very complicated at all. Just leave the players that somehow got a part of that bought gold be. The main priority is to ban the person that bought it.
I could almost guarantee you that goldbuying would, if not completely dissappear, so very close to it. People would simply not risk buying it if it meant they risk actually not being able to play never ever again.
Solo farming instances, solo-pulling the whole instance, often using pathing glitches. You play the game organically only if the realm has âlowâ but proper for the game population. Sadly Classic realm with 2-4K pop would be âdeadââŚ
And like in SoM they did ban a lot of bots and RMT people, thatâs how during MC guilds lost their warrior main tanks and alike because they were not in MC but trying to get R14 via RMT and account sharing 
In Firemaw when it was locked they had almost no bots - so it is possible. In game cheats - I donât like them, donât even condone them, but ppl still have to âworkâ for their G, not use RMT.
I get why people do GDKP, but with the problems theyâve caused have broken the game.
Itâs literally not worth your time by farming naturally compared to buying gold, since all the material gathering bots have driven the prices of mats down to the ground.
You can pretty much guarantee all raid loot if your wallet is fat enough.
I would suggest just using roll system with SRâs or LC for guildies and you eliminate a LOT of incentive for people to buy gold.
There is no way people need to buy mass amounts of gold purely for consumables, not the scale of gold req for gdkps anyways.
On a side note, you actually have legit gold buying with the wow token so there is that alsoâŚ
Sorry but this is an awful solution, if you can call it that.
I donât think anybody wants the player base dwindling, hit the supplier not the abuser.
THREE months for gold buyers, second time permanently, gold sellers perm ban instantâŚ
And fix gold transfer via guild bank, as I could see half of my old guild used guild bank, they invited lvl1 gold sellers who deposited gold in Gbank, levt guild and deleted char⌠then buyer got gold from Gbank and was no tracesâŚ
Please Blizzard - FIX THAT !!!

RWT was a thing long before GDKP was even thought of, so no.
First: So you donât think the abuser is at fault here then?
Second: I really donât think the playerbase would dwindle. I donât think it would actually drop with all that much. Simply because the first few bans would work as a deterrent. After that people see that Blizzard actually bans, they wouldnât dare buy any.
To your first point: Obviously they are rule breakers, but if you read my post above it explains why they do it.
If you have a wasp problem, you destroy their nest to stop them coming back, rather than spending forever swatting the individuals.
To your second point:
My guess is your ignorant to the fact 90% of GDKPâs are all using bought gold, the other 10% are mage/pala boosters, which in fact mostly get paid with hot gold.
Iâm willing to bet that thereâs very few willing to spend the countless hours grinding to be able to compete with otherâs gold spending in these GDKPâs and if itâs the people getting insta perma banned, there will be nobody left 
As it is now yes, I am aware of that. it wouldnât stay that way for very long though if people started to get banned for buying gold. Most of them would stop faster then they could say GDKP.
They are though.
Part of the problem problem is blizzard makes too much money from the bots, but if gold wasnât key to obtaining raid gear, then their would be much less (although never will be none ofc) botting happening, and raw gold being injected into the economy.
