Ban GDKPS in era

And here you are complaining about GDKP on Era.

On 5 year old servers with tens of thousands of players have a great time.

If you cannot see the Karen in your approach. Please try to open your eyes.

Would I run with GDKPs on a fresh server with my main - probably not, I would do LC to get through content fast. But if someone said that people should not be allowed to do GDKP on a fresh server, I could call them a clown that refuses to think critically about the issue.

I said a sod era. As in end phase sod. Era isn’t dead tho. Connect the dots.

Opinion noted opinion denied

I guarantee they will never ban GDKP again. Especially with the big content creators against the ban

You also never addressed banning of the AH

I wonder why you tactically avoided the question

I’ll make a deal with ya. Ban gdkps ONLY if the AH is banned. Honestly we could take it further and ban mail. Are you for this?

If not it’s because you don’t care about rmt and are creating a scapegoat

Yes, a fresh era server is under this umbrella. I’m just making a compromise. I’d rather it just be gone forever from everything. But I’m willing to stand aside if they introduce GDKP on era servers one day after a new fresh one is introduced with a battlegroup that’s exclusive from the pay to win GDKP ones.

I would be fine with that since most the anti-gdkp players have been the worse of wow community in my experience.

But the gdkp-ban server would probably fall apart near instantly so it is unlikely.

They don’t want to stop RMT - they want a system that favors them.

These are the sorts I’ve seen against GDKP:

  • “Guild” lovers that want their guildies to showup to a specific raid which they control
  • Small time gold buyers - want to spend gold to full consume and be elite but don’t want to drop thousands that GDKP cheating requires
  • People who repeat what others say and have never attended a GDKP

Those seem to be the main 3 groups

GDKPs favors good raiders

BoPs aren’t allowed on the auction house for the insane prices they would command. The only things you can buy on the auction house are low value items for the most part and consumables.

All this pails in comparison to the massive profits gold sellers make from unlimited BoP prices. Next to the inflation that follows by all of the gold being introduced into the market. Just like incursions in SoD did. Only on a much more massive scale of inflation.

Which in turn forces everybody to buy gold to keep up. It’s an unending feedback loop of a gold seller’s paradise.

The auction house isn’t even in the same solar system as this.

I’m fine with cracking down on gold buying on Whitemane as long as they get the actual gold buying transactions among the thousands of daily GDKP trades. I think there’s like 1 GM for all of Whitemane so I’m not overly confident in their ability to do that.

You realize that the price of items is set by what players will pay right?

I’ve seen wraith blade go for as low as 4k gold - which means someone bought a BIS weapon + got extra gold from the payout.

Yeah I mean GDKP would be perfectly fine if there was no gold selling. But without that condition, it cannot be introduced on a server.

As a compromise I suggest allowing it after one year time and a new fresh server opens. If there is a fresh server to go to, then let the gold sellers have the stale era servers until the next merger.

This might even clean up some gold selling on the fresh server.

I’ve never seen too many items cost more than edgemasters handguards. I wonder why that is!

Do you have any test results for this absurd statement?

This is the dumbest comparison of all time. You’re obviously a troll, but I’ll answer for anyone reading this who doesn’t understand the game.

There are a very limited number of things that you can buy on the auction house. All of the best items in the game drop in a raid. Limiting power gains that come from buying gold to only the items available on the auction house is EXACTLY what I would like to see.

Also: When you ban GDKP, the items on the auction house become less expensive which further reduces the incentive to buy gold. (This is exactly what happened in SoD)

There are plenty of books out there on how supply and demand works. BoPs aren’t on the auction house for a reason. Gdkp essentially just side steps this safeguard.

Then we must ban the AH too, because edgemasters, teebus, lionheart helm pattern, supreme power pattern etx end up there

No anti-GDKP player has a basic understanding of economics :joy:

I remember the conversations in the SoD forums, it was even more incoherent than you are axewipe are in here.

Scapegoat.

We’re talking about the dynamics of bought gold passing around not BOPs

They can’t win a single constructive conversation

Somehow they convinced devs to ban GDKPs in SoD.

But the outcome of the ban showed that they got trolled by a mob and I think they learned their lesson.

Gold seller cope is pretty funny. My favorite one is where they address SoD’s failure, clearly due to incompetent design, as being because of the one correct decision they made on GDKP.

Everyone’s laughing at you when you say this, by the way. We know SoD has just been bad since phase one ended. That’s why people don’t play it. Lol

SoD didn’t fail because of GDKP ban.

But after the ban lots of players left and Era was amazing community and you could see what remained in SoD - bunch of petty gold buyers.

I guarantee you I have no financial ties to GDKPs - I raid 4 hours per week lol.
