since GDKP has been removed i have personally noticed a significant decline in geared / competent players participating in PUG runs.
there is very little incentive for someone to bring a very geared character to yet another clown show MS>OS where they just get outrolled on the 1 item they do need. It’s much easier for these people to just quit and play something else unfortunately.
At least with GDKP there is some kind of incentive/reward to keep playing the game.
This is what happens when you remove player agency, the player just stops playing.
“I think attaching fuel to fire is stupid when fire existed forever and still does everywhere.”
They are not separate issues. They are inseparable. Throwing gasoline on a randomly occurring fire is always going to get more and larger more destructive fires.
Bribing people to play so you can fill a group is a gross incentive to promote.
You either enjoy the game or you don’t. Those are the only two reasons to play - not bissing out alts.
What you want is for everybody to join you in an unhealthy use of time and resources which may ultimately cause harm to both the game and their ability to enjoy the game long term.
Hmmm. I wonder what could really be happening…maybe cata launch…maybe no new content…maybe incursions…maybe bad pvp balance. RMT to feed your need to buy is not why people arent playing SoD. Its that they have played the content and SoD pvp is a dumpsterfire.
They should just poll the community. I have a feeling the majority would say that blizzard should stop telling people how they can play the game. The solution would be to ban people buying gold and the people selling it. People trading legally farmed gold for items shouldn’t be illegal.
LOL love arguments like this, just goes to show that your hiding something if you can post it and shut him up you should but you wont because someone will see how dog… you actually are.
Sure thats def the reason for not clicking twice to swap characters in 30 seconds to prove a point. couldn’t be that your a swiper and get carried constantly
My report mailbox from reporting GDKP payout lines in ironforge and SW beg to differ there…
I report every single one of them for “cheating/hacking” then label the text reason “gold buyer” and I get a few blue mails the next day saying action has been taken.
yep helps me to consider you a liar if you cant take 30 seconds to swap a character and instead try and correct my spelling of your which btw this is an informal forum nobody cares I’m not writing a thesis or resume.
well statistically its more likely that I have a higher parse than renauldo since his parse is below 50, you should honestly just take my word for it but ur trying to bait me into posting on my main so u can KOS me it’s hella weird lol no offense
Whatever you want to call it, the current end result is that people who were playing the game are now no longer playing the game.
How is this the healthier outcome?
Shockingly, some people find things enjoyable that you might not, such as ‘bissing out alts’ (also known as character progression in an MMO).
Removing GDKP has just removed a reliable, predictable, high player agency loot method that allowed people like me to continue character progression.
So, instead, I now just don’t play the game that much anymore. Very healthy for the game indeed!
