People act like GDKP is an individual with human right or sth LMAO.
No one cares if GDKP is “guilty”. Its a mechanic that makes pay2win possible for a majority of the playerbase. In a context where bots and rmt will always exist and in best case just reduced, its just rational to remove this pay2win mechanic and reduce incentive to buy gold greatly.
Also nothing is really lost. Its not like GDKP is a great part of the game, a lot of people despise it for good reasons.
It lowkey forces players to farm gold to be able to compete for good items. Really a good feeling going into a raid where you participate exactly the same but Werner(40) gets the items because he farmed gold for 8 hours that day (or bought the same amount of gold with a 1hr salary lmao).
Its really just a new age mechanic for people who cant handle a luck-element, who are also able to block out the reality that they are participating in pay2win.
