Blizzard need to treat GDKP as RMT, ban anything offering such service, otherwise, nothing will change.

209

the fact gold sellers revealed it is even used to white wash irl money for illigal drugs & etc.

and GDKP fully support this and helping in this
there is legit 0 defending this
and if you join a GDKP but not buying gold
you are still helping gold buyers in making the raid and make a reason to buy gold

210

How do GDKP’s affect you?

You just call it bad and say it’s going to ruin the game, but how does it ruin the game?

Metagoblin said a whole bunch of stuff is going to ruin the game and most of it didn’t. Why is he so negative all the time? Especially about thing that might happen?

Botting is the fault of player who buy gold. Blame gold buyers for the bots and not Blizzard.

You just keep saying they are bad, but what exactly is bad about them? If you are going to call something bad, why is it so difficult to explain why it’s bad?

211

try to scroll up and see my WOTLK examples

it legit made people who is not sweatie tryhards impossible to join any raids basically becuase of that longterm effects of GDKPs only unless they had like +50euroes worth of gold
making legit the game fully unplayable with raiding content

also now botters is starting to mass report players taking theirs farming spots
so also that problem aswell dont wanna risk be at the wrong place at the wrong time and get banned becuase i was near a bot´s farming spot

212

How do GDKPs affect getting into a pug? That’s up the raid leader.
Buying gold is illegal, it’s the reason there are bots, players are at fault for buying gold.
How do GDKP’s affect you? You are just stating generalizations.

213

again i say my wotlk exameple

becuase EVERYONE over at wotlk only do GDKP
every group wants a budget of gold that basically gatekeep people from having low amount of gold
and they want you to farm gold in a botted fill server that even using teleport hacks for mining/herbs for like +40hours per day or what it feels like
OR they want people to carry(only basically near raid BS geared people) those who is basically buying theirs raid slot becuase the GDKPs want to have the gold pot BIG

this has created the insane huge gatekeeping effect for anyone not already into this eco system at same time kinda required to buy gold for each raid
making it impossible to do any non GDKPs becuase GDKPs is the meta and everyone just do them
i have being pre raid bis over at wotlk for 2months but unable to join any raids becuase of this
kinda unable to farm becuase of the bots

the game is right out unplayable becuase of this longterm effect of GDKPs

and this can easy happen for SOD too

214

I dont think gdkps are a problem, the problem is gold selling/buying and bots are tied into that aswell,

I think thats the core issue that the post should try to push

if GDKPs is not the problem

what other gold sink is there at lvl 25 already for people need to buy gold becuase they are lazy
spoiler alert: there is non other than GDKPs
SOD is properly the biggest showcase of how GDKPs effect the gold demand the most
atleast in classic era/wotlk : there is the mount/mount skills can be pricy but its like a 1 time buy per character
not a on going thing per raid lock out
while SOD dont have that yet

the gold demand has never being this high before people started doing GDKPs
and the botting issues aswell
its impossible to say to GDKP runners: please dont buy gold
you never know who within a GDKP is legit farmed the gold or not
unless its someone like a reddit post i saw with people who was paying for gold for boost from 15-25 and then instantly joined a GDKP as soon lvl 25 and got the epic bow while having lvl 10-15 gear and was missing leg and hand runes
while tried to join a WSG premade and theirs exuse to join was becuase of the epic bow specific

and there has being alot of cases of this where people clearly buy gold to NOT play the game by getting boosted to 15-25 (maybe even via fly hacker boosters) then instantly join GDKp to be basically “boosted/carried” again to bid on gear for gold
why even play the game i ask those people if you are just gonna pay2win & play the game like this basically

and with the gold buyers i have reported: i gotten a good ton of “thanks for the report” mail for reporting GDKP runs and say to the report “please check people within this raid group for buying gold”
proofing its real people are just buying gold for GDKPs and its a gold buyers magnet
1 day i had like 30 mail of that:
the GM have 0 reason to ban those and see my report as “false” if there was 0 gold buyers

Not true. I’ve played the same game as you. You’re never going to be able to ban player made interactions and gameplay. Nothing in the rules tell players to distribute loot a certain way. Drop this gdkp stuff already and move on with your life.

217

That is true, but they can update ToS in a certain way.

We are not innocent and I expect that everybody is aware to the fact that GDKP boosteds are getting gold through RMT, so they are willing to pay X€ for certain piece of gear.

€ → character power → P2W → against ToS.

Now, the way they obtain the gear is not against ToS, because it is given through another player that just gets the gold from the player that should be banned.

The reason why GDKPs are a thing is because RMT is a thing. When Blizzard banhammer buyers and bots, boosters will no longer have enough customers to boost, and of course GDKPs will not disapear, but they will be less seen.

Given to the fact that the economy is inflated, at this point, everybody can get alot of gold through the AH and use it to go GDKPS and get boosted in a legit way, however, if the value of gold returns to a normal state, it will be less likely to happen, so:

If Blizzard bans buyers and bots, and adds some gold-sink mechanics such as dual spec, or, just to put some retail examples; barber shop or even transmog, I’m sure GDKPs will fall and not be a thing in that future.

218

first one who i see finnaly say "We are not innocent "
but its clear with some people here not everybody is aware of this issue
thats the most sad part about this issue
and the even more sad about is they full out deny this issue and try to defend GDKPs+fully ignore ALL the downsides like its theirs whole personality

219

It’s so sad and stupid, but funny how GDKP’s even exist when level cap is set to 25.

220

Gdkp is the only pug raid method that makes sense to good players.

If you have a stable guild roster other loot distribution methods are better.

221

say to that WOTLK players where guilds now just do GDKPs aswell and its the only thing that exist now : longterm effects of GDKP just being free to run without blizzard or the wow community do anything about it

we legit just need a pug raid system that is not “gold” or trade-able “points” that cant be farmed by bots and only farmed within a raid by completing them and complety burn those “points/emblems/whatever” from the system when getting loot

Stay on wotlk together with the rest of “good players” and enjoy your abomination some dare to call an mmorpg.

Good players…what’s dumb take

223

Are you perhaps the opposite of a good player?

224

Yes I am and I still managed to do all the content and raids this very challenging game offered

225

Why are you guys still arguing? Just play the raid with those that you like playing with and problem solved.
