Say what you will, there’s no system (other than GDKP) that does all of these things together:
- No need for a fixed schedule, raid whenever works best for you
- Smoother runs than most pugs (Sunwell was cleared with GDKPs week 1)
- Get gold from raiding, makes it so you can farm gold on any class. You always walk away with either gear or gold, or both.
- Gives a tangible reason for super geared players to keep raiding.
- Encourages leveling alts to farm GDKP to fund consumables for your main in a guild
- Since it’s account-wide DKP, you can take your “points” (gold) to another group if you don’t mesh well with your current group.
I’m open to hearing about other formats that hit all of the above points at once.
Also, if you guys don’t like GDKP, then you could join one of the many other raids that use a different format.
Edit: some people liked my post so much that it was flagged as spam and hidden. I’m glad you guys enjoy having a healthy discussion around certain topics in Classic WoW!

I see the swipers have come off their temp bans and are making these threads again. It was a nice week or two break.
This is the pattern that’s been going on for a year.

You aren’t getting GDKP back.
Quit now if you don’t like it.

Well, as I said in the title, gold buyers should be banned, rather than the system. Failing that, maybe we should ban the auction house too?

You should just quit if you are waiting on GDKP.
It’s not coming back.
So quit.

So, apparently there was recently a gold buyer ban wave. And suddenly GDKP threads again. This happens every time.
Pretty easy to see what’s going on. Swipers get one of their accounts banned, they rage, come to the forums, and whine and say how things were so much better when they got gold from other swipers in GDKPs rather than now having to buy it themselves. It’s like clockwork.

TBC with no GDKPs will make TBC Anniversary pale in comparison to OG TBC Classic a few years ago. No GDKPs makes everyone poor, incapable of affording alts (hell you probably can’t afford 1 main with these 500g+ flask prices), will decimate the pug raid population and alt population, the vast majority will raid log 1 toon and maybe get some enjoyment in the 2nd half of TBC when T5 is nerfed and T6 is out. The only plus is maybe they make TBC Era after Anniversary TBC is done, and allow GDKPs in it, as a chill forever-TBC server option.

You’re totally correct, but too many less intelligent people are already emotionally entrenched in hating GDKPs for emotional, non-substantive reasons. And now pugging is dead, and you have to roll against 5 to 20 other people for 1 item every week, if you even bother pugging raids at all. They see the issues that GDKPs have, which are real, and they lose all sense and then replace it with something way worse, and it has already driven down raid pug participation to like 10% of what Classic had when it allowed GDKPs.

i mean if they go after the gold buyers you wont have GDKPs anyway because all the participants will be banned.

If you banned all rmt and bots gdkp would still be the best PUG loot system.

Other systems that cover these. Join a guild like the MMO intended. Go buy ur gear on a pserver. Warmane literally just sells the gear. Try that server
