Oh yes the ole, “Let the inmates run the prison” I’m sure that would work out lol.
Luckily for us Blizz didn’t listen to P2W kiddos and took action and it seems to be working. Its easy to verify bot activity has decreased and illicit gold prices have plummeted.
It’s more like letting the government telling you the border is secure while the border patrol that’s actually there says that it’s not.
Sorry man you won’t be able to P2W in SoD after 2/8. No amount of nonsensical mental gymnastics will change that.
I would think you P2W kiddos would be excited about this. I mean if you are correct that GDKP doesn’t impact RMT’s then bots will still be running rampant and illicit gold prices will stay the same or increase. If that happens Blizz will revoke the ban on GDKP and you P2W kiddos can swipe to your hearts content and you can come to these forums victorious and forever more tell us naysayers to pound sand.
However, if the current trend of reduced bot activity and illicit gold prices tanking continues then Blizz will have the data it needs to make the ban permanent and will likely impose the ban in all versions of WoW. I wonder if the P2W kiddos will have the integrity to admit they were wrong if the data plays out that way?
You have such prejudice and malice about a group of people you don’t even understand. I truly hope you can overcome bias and see the truth instead of lumping innocent people into your delusional world view.
The good thing about this ban is we will see if GDKP = RMT. I mean what more could you ask for? If the P2W kiddos are right, I will be right here and take all the rocks you folks want to throw. But if we are correct and bots continue to decline and gold continues to tank will you do the same?
I guess we will see. I think it’s pretty immoral to bomb civilians to reach your goal but that’s the route they have chosen.
Agreed.
Hyperbolic nonsense like this is the reason no one takes the P2W kiddos seriously.
There was no inflation in phase 1. There was deflation across the board in the AH.
Its funny when people show their ignorance and don’t even realize it. Carry on rofl
How exactly do you think that collateral damage is hyperbolic. It is well established that not every GDKP player buys gold, thus civilian casualties.
What an ironic statement.
Hope this helps. Cheers!
Oh the irony!
Price of gold has presumably been on decline all P1
Prices on AH have been on decline all P1
What different result are you anticipating in P2?
I suppose it proves you don’t understand.
Mostly true and expected. As with any trend it is easy to track. After the announcement of GDKP bans illicit gold fell WELL below the avg/expected depreciation (historical trends). No way around that.
This is not true. Prices for SOME things has declined while prices for others have risen. An easy example are items/mats that were not applicable to P1 were undervalued for the majority of P1 and once P2 release date was announced these items began to rise in value on the AH. Worth noting this wasn’t for every item but many.
With the ban implemented on GDKP’s and the reduced bot activity I would imagine mundane mats and BoE’s will see a price spike as the market corrects itself. This is with the assumption that GDKP’s cause a large amount (read most not all) gold to flood the servers. Also, many of the P2W kiddos will have stock piled gold in P1 in anticipation of buying pixels in P2.
Having said, we will see. I could be wrong and bots may continue to be as prolific as they are now and RMT’s may not be impacted. I don’t think that will happen but at least we will know with the ban in place.
Nope, I don’t understand why anyone would swipe for pixels. Perhaps you should examine why you like doing so.
or a lot of gold to sell, who know?
So rather than address the topic you deflect to something that has nothing to do with the conversation. Hard to say if you are being deliberately dishonest or if you really are that dumb.
I’ve addressed the topic and so has Blizz. I’ve stated my stance multiple times and pointed out that we will now have the oppurtunity to see if GDKP’s do, in fact, influence RMT’s and botting. What else is there to say on the matter?
I have little patience with petulance or those that are hyperbolic or overly emotional. If you would like a rational conversation, then be rational.
But why do you need to? You just made bank all on your own. The crux is that you KNOW, like the OP elucidated, that GDKP is like a slot machine. And any random run could net you and 10 other people a lot of gold very very fast. It doesn’t even need RMT cash to see how disproportionate the wealth inflation happens.
Is it your right to apply your large sum of gold to increase your wealth? Yes. Are the mechanisms of GDKP fair to the rest of your server? No. Blizzard knows that, and has spoken. Your time of robbing bidders banks and walking away smugly is done.
”gold fell WELL below the avg/expected depreciation (historical trends). No way around that.”
Did it? I’m genuinely asking because I tried googling and can’t find any websites with charts. I believe someone made a post with a chart that showed it dropped maybe 10% or something and was already recovering in the screenshot.
”items/mats that were not applicable to P1 were undervalued for the majority of P1 and once P2 release date was announced these items began to rise in value on the AH”
This isn’t inflation, this is just supply and demand… there was little demand for these items early in phase 1, but now that they are needed soon their price goes up. Same reason why elixirs are more expensive on raid reset days.
