Can someone explain why GDKP is so hated?

You don’t give someone an item in a 5 man dungeon if ML is turned off, or do you not actually play the game? I’m just paying for a boost with FFA loot.

If you say “Hey guys, don’t roll on this because they paid us gold to get them this item” that counts.

If you agree to run the dungeon or raid in order to give them the item in exchange for gold, that counts.

The issue here is not a question of if it’s bannable, it is by their policy.

The question is will Blizzard actually ban people for doing it, and that’s the more important thing.

Yeah that’s my takeaway. Seems like a game of semantics.

It seems it’s ok to sell loot as long as there’s no bidding.

The clever people will sell “kills” and skirt it.

They won’t because its not in their wording. The intention of blizzard was to ban gdkp in raids and dungeons like UBRS, they could care less about someone spending 30g to get a ring from mara. Its clear from how you speak about this that you don’t actually even play on fresh so why care so much?

^ I play on fresh, and I played Classic, and I played original Vanilla. I hate gold buyers and the gdkp system for how they bastardize the game, and I’d love to see all the gold buyers, all the botters, and all the GDKP abusers currently trying to evade the ban getting banned.

It makes the game much better without this BS.

You said the GDKP ban doesn’t affect you, so why do you care so much to constantly post and beg and lie to try to justify it and want it unbanned so badly?

It’s because your full of it and just can’t be honest about it.

They say any exchange of gold for items is bannable, so selling loot is 100% bannable to be specific according to their policy.

But again, it’s an issue of enforcement.

  • We’re defining GDKP as any raid or dungeon run where items are awarded in exchange for gold.

You said something then linked a quote proving what you said wrong, yet think you’re somehow in the right? lmao. Take what they said literally and everything you said is immediately proven wrong, it takes mental gymnastics to try and apply the gdkp ban to paying people to kill bosses in 5 mans

It also says items, if we take what they said literally as long as you only buy 1 its fine. So not only are their words implying its fine to buy HoJ or princess ring, they are literally saying its fine.

If you say “Hey we’ll kill this boss and give you whatever items the boss drops if you pay us gold”

That counts and is bannable according to their policy as they wrote it.

But will they ban those people is the question to prove it, the rest is very clear.

Wrong again, because there is no difference between clearing SM cath with FFA loot and letting people buying boosts loot, and killing Angerforge and letting the people buying boosts loot

I don’t think blizzard cares about dungeons because LFG is filled with people selling loot from dungeons.

SoD was full of this as well without any bans, its obvious that blizzard doesn’t care about it

How’s that, now?

Causals are the ones having trouble spending 100g a week on consumes not sweats

These raids can easily be cleared without consumables. Maybe dropping their requirement in raids could fix botting and RMT?

Boom. Problem solved.

Most people don’t want to raid in a consume free environment, but don’t want to commit to the time to farm gold to stay out of that environment, just the way it is

This is yet another example of how metasheep are trashing the game.

If you have a raid group and some people are using consumables I think all people should be using consumables.

Calling it meta is kind of a cop out.

No, it’s not. The obsession with being “optimal” is really what’s killing the game. Folks demand max xp per hour, gold per hour, honor per hour and dps. This all encourages folks to follow metas.

If people really want to play for performance, they should play Retail, where the raids and mythic dungeons actually present challenges.
