Last week after a snoozefest ST our raid leader announced that 3 raids that he runs are disbanding until P4 due to lack of attendance. Sick job. Now alternatively I have to pug with people who are still 6/8, yeah ? No thanks. 40+ people on discord have started playing other games like D4 and V rising.
Imagine if I had a reason to actually raid on 3x 50s that I have … imagine what could that reason be ???
The guilds that I’ve been a part of all have an extensive list of players in a social friends/family rank within the guild, as well as ex-core raiders who found themselves too busy with real life, who enjoyed participating in guild hosted GDKP alt runs. These GDKP runs provided more positive social interaction than I’ve seen anywhere else in the game in the many years that I’ve been playing and it’s why these groups grow into strong GDKP communities.
For communities like this, it wasn’t about searching for whales and swipers to profit from, yet these communities were the ones to suffer the most from the GDKP ban.
The predatory GDKPers that you all hate? They’re still out there running things in private. Google “SoD boosting and carries.” They’re out there. This ban did little to stop the people that it was meant to stop.
