this isn’t me, but you can quickly google SOD population (won’t let me post hyperlinks) and cross-check the GDKP ban in January 2024 and see the massive population decline. very obvious independent data source
also, why do other people participating in gdkps impact the way you play the game? are you not able to join a guild or do soft reserves? instead you label everyone else ‘cheaters’?
sounds like a community that’s bad for the game
good riddance
No I want you to prove to me that the GDKP ban was the source of decline in a seasonal game mode that is lumped in with various other versions of the game with new things happening all the time.
Try playing this version of fresh without cheating and you’ll understand why I dislike your cheating mr sock puppet.
Yeah I’m not reading all that im happy for u tho or sorry that happened
also I’m glad gdkps are dead
This is like asking to prove that the earth is round - if you can’t see the clear correlation and want to cope that this won’t be any different than go for it but why do you think the results for fresh will be any different than SOD? you’re gonna have rogue bots in BRD pick pocketing and continuing the endless loop of botting, driving up costs and MORE selling of gold because people will need to pay for consumes, summons, buffing, etc… perhaps the issue is more that you are too lazy to read a post before commenting on it and call people cheaters and sock puppets without trying to understand the points they make. enjoy the SR where the MT leaves after bindings don’t drop or people HR every good item like in SOD 
Wall of text translated:
You made a stupid claim without any proof. Thanks for clearing that up!
I know they’re citing traditional social structures and they said the same thing with SoD. They’re not lying. With SoD though, they also mentioned something about “illicit activities”.
So read between the lines here when disseminating the latest PR. The reason you don’t have GDKP is because GDKPs on a fresh server is going to be a haven for RMT. The reason why its a haven for RMT is because too many people are cheaters.
So if you want to blame anyone for it blame we the people.
Sure then ban the effing cheaters not the legit players that just want to use the loot system with their communities. We have over 300 active discord members with several raids going each week. We consistently clear all content and have an amazing amount of fun while doing it. We have ZERO ZILCH NO gold buying in our community and even players that step in day 1 end up with loot most of their first raids with their cut alone.
Just seems really ridiculous to completely deny a fresh experience to a dedicated group of players that enjoy playing your game.
I know my community isn’t the only healthy and positive GDKP community and there’s no reason we can’t exist on our own realm independent of you guys that are so adamant about no GDKP for some weird reason.
No reason that players that have patiently waited for their opportunity at another fresh to not get that opportunity
Again, the solution here is two servers - one with GDKP ban and one without like my post says and that some of you are too lazy to read before rushing to comment immaturely.
You’re not denied the experience.
You just aren’t allowed to come in with your gold buying antics and ruin it for everyone else 
They’ve already given you the solution.
No cheaters on the anniversary realms.
Calling me a gold buyer every chance you get doesn’t make me a gold buyer.
Go outside man. What is up with your activity. If any of us GDKP’ers had 1/4 the time you have to spam the forums maybe the echo chamber against gdkp would break.
You mean you, sock puppeting on several toons crying that you don’t get to cheat in the new fresh.
Lol
godly take thank you 
You don’t hate them nearly as much as legitimate players like myself who DO NOT buy gold and use GDKP legitimately but then have to deal with insufferable fools like yourself.
Oh right one of the “legitimate” gdkp cheaters.
/yawn
I really wish for once the five of you posting from sock puppets would just come out and tell the truth.
“Hey we’re going to do this even though it ruined the game for everyone else and encourages bots and RMT but we’re totally fine with ruining the game for you.”
None of you GDKP cheaters are legitimate.
Mega cringe. Have some self awareness, bro. Step back. Take a look in the mirror.
If you’re the type of player playing in this GDKP free fresh realm cuz of the “community” then yeah you guys will deserve each other. Have fun.
Keep seething brotato.
Watching you cheaters cry your eyes out over the fact that you don’t get to ruin this version of classic is almost as good as the fresh announcement itself.
