It’s very simple you put in a no tolerance policy 5 years ago.
Now when Johnny the swiper buys gold his burner account gets permanently banned and then his main account gets permanently banned.
And then pretty soon the amount of rmt is going to be drastically cut because people are going to be like wow they’re permanently banning you I don’t want to lose my account.
Shocker I know.
Once again, this is not how GDKPs work. It doesn’t matter if you have gold cap going into a GDKP, if the loot they’re looking for doesn’t drop then the person is just sitting on massive amounts of “tainted” gold.
Also the cut is divvied out to the ENTIRE raid. Nobody will be happy watching a few people get a larger cut for no reason.
Yes correct, until there are actual real consequences for buying gold they are doing the absolute bare minimum
If you start with a month, then escalate to 6 with a final being a permaban, I’d venture to guess there’d be no more gold buying. This extends from the buyer account to whomever they distributed the gold to.
Yeah that’s too many chances for me one and done
I don’t like that the gold I made is kinda worthless either but your punishment is more harsh than attempted murder lol.
Ya, I didn’t say I was fair.
Let’s see people buy gold with me in charge, these bans are rated E for everyone.
Easily tracked and clearly shows they are connected to the crime.
Thst would be like robbing a bank then going to a different nearby bank and depositing it and wire transfering it to your friends.
Easily tracked.
Then report them!
You essentially just admitted you play with gold buyers and you want gdkp back so you can get some of their dirty gold as well…
They don’t like to see losers walk away with BiS loot because they paid for a carry. That’s the issue in a nutshell. It’s about item relevance. If you have the BiS gear you did the hard work of clearing raids.
I’m no snitch. It’s not my job to police Blizzards game. People think they have the tools to see what’s going on, yet they choose to do nothing about it because it actually makes them money.
I didn’t say anything about the GDKP ban at any point in any of my posts.
I would say however that if given a choice, I would rather have some of that gold instead of it getting funneled back to whomever is going to sell it through the auction house.
Not true at all
I hit 60 did some random pvp at 60 … got some stuff, did dungeons , got some more stuff … sold some stuff on the AH ect
Joined a guild advertising for members that was a little bit into nax… was raiding with them the next day. Since then we clear mc - nax weekly.
We bring in fresher 60s to give them a shot. If they good, they stay… if not no hard feelings.
Been a while since I’ve even seen a gdkp advertisement (mankirk) cluster.
WTF are you talking about??? It’s an auction. In what world is an auction not buying something. The mental gymnastics you people go thru are crazy

Did you miss the part about community feedback? There was no reference to data whatsoever.
Then why are bots and RMT just as bad if not worse?
if they “have the data” why would they take 3 days to take action on it. Data doesn’t take 3 days to process. GDKP has nothing to do with this. You know what doesn’t take days? Opening the AH and laundering gold.
Which has done nothing to bots and RMT.
Again, why are bots and RMT still as prevalant?
Buying would be opening the shop and buying it, as you would a pet.
So does literally any gold exchange in the game, especially the AH.
So why is there as much or more bots and gold buying happening?
Lol, wut? So you buy 50k gold so you can get 5k “clean” gold? lmao. Just use the AH dude.
If they can track it why don’t they ban it right away? You are suggesting they have to wait until it gets spent in a GDKP, then take action. You know what’s faster than spending it in GDKP? Spending it on the AH.
The dogma toward blizz is incredible. They are flying this ship blind dude. Your faith is misplaced. They literally banned it because of complainers on the forums.
So easy and has nothing to do with GDKP.
Thanks for being honest that this has nothing to do with RMT and you are in fact okay with RMT outside of GDKP.
Guys, we landed on the moon in 1969 and you’re saying getting rid of bots is too hard so we must ban GDKP instead. Meanwhile, bots don’t care at all. 
Look at ironforge for population.
It’s almost losing to wotlk classic and that game has been over for 4 months
Sod is a beta for classic+ and it’s trash.
GDKPers participate in the raid, therefore they earn the loot.
GDKPers cannot spend gold on gear if they did not participate and earn the loot themselves.
Is it really that hard to understand?
lol. the fact that you chumps keep bringing up ironforge.pro as some kind of ‘gotcha’ about the game dying is actually pretty funny.
populations are fine currently. just because not everyone can raid on 5 alts like they could in P1 does not mean SoD is dying.
I know man, this is so insane to me that folks drone on an on about how GDKPs “buy gear.” They clear the exact same raid as everyone else. Somehow rolling dice is “earning” and gdkp is not.
GDKPers are generally pretty skilled players that enjoy raiding with other skilled players and are tired rolling against literally everyone in the raid for BIS items. Especially when MS>OS raids are filled with grey parsers that don’t use consumables, wipe the raid, then “have to go” on the 4th boss.
There is so much cope in this paragraph
someone is doom-spiraling and doesn’t even know it.
