As of the GDKP ban I was wondering if selling specific loot items such as the rings from dmt and maraudon is allowed? As your offering a farming service for a specific item drop.
Some people seem to think it’s banned. I tought it wasn’t under the GDKP ban rules?
Why do you think that?
That is correct. Per the GDKP rules here:
And that they’ve re-iterated that they will continue the same policy here:
Yeah, people were allegedly banned on SoD for even just offering to buy a drop that someone else won in a whisper, let alone offwring it for sale in a public channel.
Should be bannable. As do reserve andies.
In the SoD policy they specify it when they announced it for classic they didn’t specify dungeons. So I don’t really associate GDKP with dungeon loot selling as running most dungeons happens outside of a full guild context.
But the wording for the SoD policy does so. I have so far farmed a bit for my guildies and they tipped me without me asking for it but reading the policy even that would be bannable.
For me it would be just something added on top of a farm i already would be doing so guessing it’s back to DEíng and vendoring the loot as a ban is not worth the risk. Even for tips from people i intended to help for free.
Emphasis mines:
Which they refer to the SOD GDKP policy:
How about just playing and enjoying the game, without trying to recreate exploitation society aka economy.
Some, like me especially in recent years, are going through life thinkering about things like… how can I give things to players for free, or help them in a way that cheers up their day. Reason, why i play mostly healers for example. Recently some are even trying to sell healing, or CONJURED food.
For me life is about, how can I even TRY to be a good person in life and in game, merciful and helpfull to as many people as i can, to even remotely try to feel a better person, slighty trying to be able to look God in the eyes on judgement day.
Because we always feel we don’t do nearly enough. And feel as if we’re living in a world, that does not allow us to these things enough, due to economy and other standards. I guess it’s a rare thing these days to think like that. And I have been thinking about it for a long time, still don’t feel as if i’m even close to the solution.
If you are in any way serious about facing His judgement, you should do your level best to engage in charitable works IRL, not do pretend charity in a re-release of a 20 year old multiplayer video game. Do you think He will not see completely through your weak excuses of “but I healed and gave items away in a vidya gaem”. It’s frankly worse than doing nothing. Go help the unfortunate and downtrodden in real life, and raise your sons to fear and adore God. WoW is a vice, and you know as much in your heart.
Lame reply. If people see kindness in a video game, they get inspired for kindness IRL too, instead of seeing the worst of worst behavior in a video game, making them lose faith in the world and in people. Even in a video game, kindness and mercy matters, and will translate itself in real life. People get influenced by media, hence the term influencers. And companies know this so well, they invest millions into influencers for their products.
Especially today where most of the young kids grow up with the internet, games, tv and media basically.
IMO it’s allowed since you don’t bid against other players, but instead you pay a player to help you kill a boss so you can loot an item.
The item isn’t awarded for gold, the player helped you kill a boss for gold.
If this is disallowed, then paying a tank to help you run a dungeon is also against the rules, or reserving items as that could count as a payment as well.
Making selling these paid boss kills against the rules would also simply be an over reach on the side of Blizzard, as the goal with banning GDKP was to battle RMT which gets amplified by the “bidding against other players” part and has nothing to do with “Help me kill Princess so I can have my ring”.
Well in the same spirit of how people shouldnt force their religion (or things it disapproves of) on others - how about just letting people play the game how thye want instead of forcing them behind a veil of how its the single biggest reason why rmt and botting exists.
There has not been a word of religion in my post. A reference about trying to be a good person, or to God, does not persé have to be about religion. Shouldn’t feel so offended when you see the word God written in a post. Perhaps you could ask yourself, why you would even feel offended, when you see anything that reminds you of religion or God. That should prove quite interesting aswell. Respect your maker. It seems a trend these days, when you mention the name of God, that people freak out. Its quite interesting, but sad.
Well well well. I believe some introspection is in order. You also seem to recoil when I remind you of what God would think of your “mission” in WoW.
What mission? BTW. Isn’t it about time you reveal yourself? Instead of hiding all the time. I am stating to you that behavior online is SO important, that companies pay millions, if not billions, in the gaming industry to promote their products through influencers. Thus making a statement, that online behavior does matter in trying to aspire or achieve some form of behavior God would approve of, not only IRL in this modern age anymore. The same way companies exploit this for self-gratification for their product or business, we can do the same for a different more noble purpose. If others see enough kindness, they might feel compelled to do the same aswell. But vice versa might apply too.
It doesn’t always have to be about the big fall distraction that is money or materialism for that matter. I would like my behavior, to be pleasing not only to myself, but to others aswell, as I belief, based on documentation throughout history, that God might like this more. I can’t imagine, being a good person in the eyes of God, is about promoting war, individualism, money or worse. And believe me… Sometimes you try so hard, and still make mistakes.
So my “mission” in wow (if any), is about trying to aspire decent behavior to others, (by in-game example) who are often getting influenced by how others behave. Influencers prove this point every single day, and they are payed millions for it. That’s how important this “mission” is. Allthough streamers or influencers theirs is mainly about advertising.
A small deed of kindness in game, might bright up someone’s day, who is having a hard time in real life. And I can’t imagine someone having a problem with that.
Do you know how many suicides we might have prevented without knowing it, by being extra friendly to someone in game, who was on the brink of depression? We never really think about these things. But I have a dad, who has suicided, and barely survived, so I do think about these things. The same goes vice versa. We often read about the effects of bullying. I have a dad, who was so sensitive that a little joke about his appearance, could ruin his whole month, ending up drunk for days/weeks.
Well, so I aspire the opposite of bullying, even in-game. I belief that this matters. Because you never know how horrible you affect the person on the other end with what you do or say. This was the one big lesson I will always remember from my father his life. A man that has shown me the importance of thinking 10 times, before you say what you want to say, into how you want to say it. Because it matters more to some, than you can possibly imagine.
For better or worse, one person has articulated their will to spread good vibes in this venue.
Your response tried to do the opposite. I feel for your mission here, sucks.
Oh I’m all for spreading good vibes, and do so all the time in the game, it is his reasoning and moral high horse that I find deeply objectionable. Pleasing God? Preventing suicides? Sob story about alcoholic father? It sours the entire message into a weird parody of itself.
Oh and companies pay billions to influencers? More like tens of thousands and it is always immediately obvious and sticks out like a sore thumb when some “influencer” is shilling for corporate interests.
What they actually pay handsomely for is the advice of behavioral psychologists to make microtransactions and lootboxes as addictive as possible. Especially in mobile gaming that is like crack to immature kids. WoW was actually an early pioneer in this with it’s own rudimentary dopamine loops.
Being nice to other nostalgia tripping middle aged men in a re-release of a 20 year old game is, well, nice, but the moral high horse disgusts me.
And I genuinely believe God will see through all our pathetic little excuses and pretenses. Like when you are a little kid saying “but I was good! I only ate two cookies from the jar before dinner, not the whole thing” as he stares at you disapprovingly.
I see where you are coming from.
I did not get this vibes from his/her posts but what do I know. I would agree with both now so I hope it all turns out for the better lol
Im just gonna report everyone selling the Maraudon Rings on trade and we will see what happens.
