GDKP was a way for max level raid leaders and raiders to earn legit gold. Gold buying takes place with or without GDKP.
Without GDKP those players still need a way to have gold, in a bot infested world, that way is RMT or boosting/dungeon farming.
GDKP ban thus will not decrease RMT, rather have little affect OR actually increase it as boosting prices and dungeon farmed and mat prices sky rocket.
Example: Without GDKP some guilds that used to run it now sell raid loot on discord and because they know competition is low or non-existing they charge much higher prices now which means players need much more gold.
As long as players demand buying loot it will happen. How it happens and what it dose to the economy is Blizzards choice.
Blizzard: I give you game where you have to pay just a sub, no pay to win.
Players: Noooo, I donât want to farm gold with professions and grind, I want pay to win
Later players: what is wrong with economy?
GDKP was a way for max level raid leaders and raiders to earn gold.
Fixed it for you.
The gold taken into a gdkp by the buyers cannot be confirmed as legit, it can be assumed as bought though which is the issue.
The average wow player has no where near the levels of gold being thrown about in these runs which is why the assumption it bought.
Blizzard should probably consider some more hardcore actions as the ban waves donât work as suggested by a recent you tube video.
I think to defeat the problem it will likely require something like a driving license or passport to activate an account.
Or making gold account bound.
Or personal loot.
I think the problem canât be fixed with customer friendly options.
We are using and will keep using GDKPs anyway. The only difference we make all communications and bids in discord. Itâs better getting banned and donât play at all than playing with loot council scam cliques or soft reserve waste of time runs.
AHAHAHAH. So people say: gdkp kills economy we dont want that it brings rmt.
GDKPer: So gdkp banned but bots rmt are not to blame, gdkp was not the problem
Also gdkper: BTW we still do gdkp against rules, but we will continue to pretend that we didnt contribute to rmt and bots swarms
People asked not to create problems, blizzard agreed but you still keep doing that and later complain about bots and rmt
No one was banned for using gdkp yet neither countless amounts of bots. So gdkp is technically allowed. The game is dead without gdkp and bots so you have to deal with that.
Uh no, you are the minority long ago. People prefer rmt over hr/sr/lc scam. And its blizzard fault they canât develop fair loot system in 20 years so people have to use rmt.
Most of guilds/sr pugs wonât survive Christmas holidays and will die and disband in few weeks, gdkp communities will stay for long (if we wonât start getting banned). Honestly itâs you who are ignorant, delusional and stupid
Agreed, goldbuying is absolutely rampant. With the ban of GDKP we have less whales but more regular buyers. getting rid of addition options to make Gold means more and more players have to make gold with gathering, which is quite challenging due to all the bots which leads more players into goldbuying.
The only reason it ever got this bad to begin with was the constant influx of lazy punks over he past 20 years, that never cared about the consequences of their actions, buying illicit gold from day 1 in a pitiful and misguided effort to âwinâ the game.
If Blizzard had ruthlessly banned gold buyers from day 1, it never would have become profitable for the literal Mafias to run bot farms and sell it to begin with.
And if we ever do get a WoW 2 which iI dopn´t personally believe will ever happen, this absolutely has to be policy. Suspected of buying Gold, even if its just 1 copper, or botting? Permanent ban, no appeals.
Better to lose to occasional innocent person than to have the entire community go off the deep end again and ruin it for tehmselves and everyone else, only to complain about it later.
Yes, lets start perma banning accounts based on suspicions and not concrete proof, real wow players donât have friends anyway, so theyâll never give gold to anyone unless theyâre RMTâing.
I think this is a great idea.
(if we wonât start getting banned). Honestly itâs you who are ignorant, delusional and stupid
