Gold Prices & GDKP Announcement

@Valheru-thekal

More than likely though bots will just continue to do what they always do and run dungeon scripts and stockpile the AH with cheap materials because it’s the easiest set up for them to run afk 24/7

and sell gold they make at lower rates, so ppl can buy the stuff.

inflation 101

leeching it by speculation, is probably the best strategy for gold in the weeks to come, and perfectly valid in my eyes.
unfortunate as the mechanic may be.

i fixed it in 15 mins tho (from my post)
so one has to wonder why blizzard hasnt fixed it in 20 years.

@Mity-mirage-raceway

fixes Blizzard COULD do:

1: implement a Bounty. Every player can report a goldseller, and IF and ONCE that account has been found in violation of LUA, the first person to report it, gets an ingame mail, with a nice letter, and 20 or 50 gold, whatever is appropriate in the phase. a significant amount, in any case, but not shocking.
this would make real players able to farm goldsellers for gold, and it would take a week to get every one of them.

2: Make trades over 50 gold (reward amount, scling with phase) pr account / day impossible, and that trade only possible on a maximum level character.
lower level characters could neither recieve or supply more than 1 gold pr day. this should not apply to characters on teh same acocunt, so we can trade our valuables between our own characters. 50 gold would still make duelling or deathrolling possible, at a safe and moderate scale.
Goldsellers would have to use max level characters to trade with, a far to high risk verus the reward.

3: track every interaction of every historic character on goldsellers accounts. where gold has been traded, give the recipient a 24 hour amnesty to either give back to GM the full amount of gold, or vendor all gear and pay that amount. Otherwise, the account is permabanned.

these three fixes would completely remove RMT in a short time.
bots would still exist for personal use, but not at the scale we see now, where its commercial.
