Are you sure? If you are right that people are printing 50g per person per raid (10 bosses x 200g) then that means 1,000g spent on the AH per raid would wash with all of that “inflation”. This assumes no wipes/repairs. 1,000g seems too high, but with Flasks at 350-400g? last I checked you’re going to quickly cut down that 200,000g printed per year to something more like 20,000-50,000g per year. If you respec or have to repair to raid then raiding is already deflationary.
Anyway - I overall agree that just the price is not enough to say RMT is going on, especially since much of the RMT with GDKPs does not cause inflation. But, the sheer volume of inflation and overall impossibility of obtaining that gold as a normal player is an easy indicator.
I would completely disagree that gold is hard to obtain. Gold is far more easily obtainable than it has ever been in terms of being able to afford respects, mounts and anything sold by a vendor.
Now I’ll admit looking at 200k gold for a BiS item as a fresh 60 is daunting. But the road to get there is not likely to be any longer than the road to get from fresh 60 to full Naxx BiS without GDKP in an SR or loot council guild. I’d be curious to see how many months it would actually take a fresh 60 to get there with SR vs GDKP.
Anyways, at the end of the day I think we can all agree RMT is bad. The difference is you see GDKP as the reason for RMT and I see RMT as just a thing that taints GDKP which is otherwise a perfect loot system. I really think we need to push Blizzard to do more before we ask them to ban a loot system.

You’re actually not far off from how much you can make raiding, especially if you avoid groups which wipe a lot due to people who aren’t prepared or geared properly. Of course it helps if you runseveral characters through raids, but yes it’s honestly that easy. You should easily make 400-500g just from the gold dropped off bosses after repairs and consumes weekly.
Lie about what? I can discord stream the entire process and you can come watch while vigorously hand-wringing looking for any wrongdoing. You are nothing but a lying clown and you won’t.
GDKPS are banned in the new era servers!!!

Does this mean AbsoluteKek and other GDKP haters will leave us alone now? Hope so.
These means GDKPs are not going to be allowed in the new servers they are taken out of the game completely the only GDKP option will be in cata
What are you talking about? They will still have GDKP on Whitemane.
the ban is on the new era servers launching on the 21st not on cata. It would be nice if the GDKPs did get banned on cata tho
The new realms don’t affect Whitemane in any way so your statement that the only place to GDKP is Cata is wrong. We will still be able to GDKP in Vanilla on Whitemane.

They’re not shutting Era servers down. They’re just creating fresh ones.
Why would they keep era servers up if theyre launching fresh servers that are going to prog to TBC and possibly WoTLK?
You blame GDKPs, but not a single person do check whether the gold that comes from their sales in the AH is legit or came from botted gold. Nor does a person check if the gold they’re receiving in trade for something they’re selling is legit or not,
No, you don’t.
No one does.
So, small corruption is acceptable, or if the gold is laundered in the AH and pay its fine, it is acceptable.
Here is the situation:
Blizzard is responsible for enforcing game integrity. Not me, not you.
We don’t have the power to do that.
However, blizzard has successfuly shifted the blame to players.
“GDKPs are the problem” – they convinced you.
Their inability to remove bots from the game enabled waves and waves of gold to come into the economy.
Congratulations.

With a hardware ban on top of that.
Your Mobo and MAC Address are unique to your computer.
You can spoof a Mac address and just change the mobo
The average cheater(gold buyer) is too stupid to do those things.
They have anitcheat, just put a checksum in and change a hex value for the banned to add to the spice of the ban.
