This is the other thing. Blizzard isn’t going to police a player-made loot system. Players are free to distribute loot in any way they see fit, and thats never changing. If you don’t like GDKP, just don’t do them? They don’t affect you if you never attend them.
Classic players have this weird obsession with controlling how everyone else plays the game.
I don’t think they’ll do it, they PREFER customers with a P2W mindset, so they can sneak MTX in over time and monetize the game…
I’m just saying how they SHOULD/would go about it, and in the most cost effective method (an algorithm only costs you a code monkey for the duration it takes to write it)… The VAST majority of the leg work would be automated.
Please don’t be this naive or ignorant if you wish to discuss gdkps and be taken seriously at all.
How does it matter to you how other people acquire loot? They still have to kill the same bosses and do the same content.
What is the top gold farming method in classic wow?
Running GDKPS
What is the primary reason for bulk gold expenditure that creates the demand for store purchased gold, and thus bots to supply that gold?
Running GDKPS
Those bots then outcompete legitimate players for materials, causing a snowball effect on profession value compared to just swiping or running gdkps and taking gold from swipers.
Pretending your parasitical degenerate loot system doesn’t have downstream impacts on the game is about as intellectually dishonest as the tobacco companies trying to tell people that smoking was actually healthy for them… (and none of that was even addressing the social issues like commoditization of players and a general more “mercenary” attitude to grouping)
Bots are symptom of the disease that is gdkp.
Bots are symptom of gold being required at all. Time to get rid of the cost for mounts, repairs, re-spec cost, and force everyone to only exchange mats for other items!
Banning GDKP does nothing. It never will. You’re just trying to control how other people play the game. Which Blizzard will never approve of.
Your so close to getting it but so far from right. No dude, bots are the problem. GDKP is a reaction to a problem. GDKP would be fine in a world where they actually banned bots. Calling a loot system degenerate and seething this hard is good for a laugh tbough, so i must thank you a little.
Again, please don’t be this naive or ignorant, if you wish to be taken seriously.
Mounts cost 1k… ONCE (and if we get the era pvp system most people who are smart will just get r11)… 10,000g can buy you literally every consumable, repair, respec, and your mount for the entirety of vanilla.
Most gdkps require you to bring 10k+ PER RAID to even get in the door… and even then you wouldn’t win a big ticket item literally ever bringing the minimum.
Agreed
ban gdkps → less gold buying → less botting
Take even a rudimentary economics class… DEMAND creates supply and value. Supply does not create demand. You remove GDKPS, and botting instantly loses the biggest chunk of the demand for the gold it sells.
Thank you for just admitting you’ve never been to a GDKP, LOL.
Even in TBC you’d rarely see people bid more than 10k, and that was when gold actually started accumulating due to daily quests and Stratholme farming.
Also, any GDKP thats actually clearing content doesn’t do this, they’re taking people that actually know and can do mechanics, not just whoever has tons of gold.
Min bid is always lower than minimum required to join. However minimum required to join still exists.
You literally do not care if the whales do anything other than bring gold. That is the only thing you expect them to contribute. You clear the content with or without them. Hell, most of the time they are encouraged to go die in a corner so you don’t accidentally waste healing on them.
You’ve cleary only taken bus 101. And you don’t understand market factors or an economic system behind a high school education. No, that’s now how it works.
Gdkp has existed and been used since actual vanilla. It has been used on private servers for a decade. Never having a problem. What you are talking about is an outside economic factor favoring the development of one market system BECAUSE of gold supply. Not demand of available gdkp. They botting isn’t out of control because of people buying for gdkp. Gdkp is out of control because bots have made it the ONLY good way to farm gold.
Gdkp was the ideal pug loot system for a decade. Classic messed it up and even then prices didn’t get out control beyond streamer gdkp until late tbc.
Your information about how GDKPs operate is getting increasingly more and more wrong that this is actually getting painful to read.
Have fun in your world where you’ve turned a player-made loot system into a boogeyman that causes all your problems. I almost hope they do ban it for a time so that you can see how wrong you are and that it’ll solve nothing.
Most reputable pservers now actively ban gdkp because they realize the harm it causes.
Worse, a ton of players who would have made alts and raided when they could simply won’t play. You’ll get player drop off and no benefit to banning it other than the tourists who quit after six weeks anyway praising you on the forums.
Nah they ban it because it causes harm to their own in-game shop, which are usually far more aggressive and “P2W” than anything Blizzard has ever implemented.
“Most”. No. Turtle is a bad server.
TLDR you have now made 3 separate posts amounting to “nuh uh” without even a hint of logical rebuttal.
Whats the point in him making a rebuttal if you have no intention of listening? You’ve just repeated “GDKP bad” over and over despite numerous people proving you wrong.
