Cost of Raiding

So boring you attach yourself to all of them.

Tell the folks at home how you constantly bite my ankles.

You must be confusing me with Drink

This is my second favorite horrible excuse that swipers try to make about GDKPs, so I’ll indulge you.

Let’s say Blizzard releases a fresh server tomorrow. Let’s consider the first hour of that server. This, in effect, is like removing all RMT. What happens to the AH? Nothing. It’ll be there. People will be posting stuff and buying stuff. The prices are dictated by nothing but supply and demand. There will be natural pricing that occurs. The lack of RMT has zero impact on it.

GDKPs, on the other hand, wouldn’t exist. Let’s pretend there was some level 5 raid at launch. Are players running GDKPs? No. Because they require that huge gold seed money. They don’t exist without it. They don’t exist without RMT.

See the difference? You’re harping on the transaction, not the source. GDKP is a source of RMT. The Auction House inherently is not.

There, schooled another one.

Buddy your hypothetical has no relevance.

Respond to his post which is reality.

He’s right.

GDKPs don’t work without rampant RMT.

They wouldn’t be worth the effort.

This is true but your analogy isn’t great because GDKP also relies on raids and well there can’t be raids ran on the first hour of the server.

RMT exists without GDKPs, so there would never be a world where GDKPs are around without RMT, which makes you look like a bloody fool.

There is no incentive to do GDKPs unless you get a lot of gold.

No one is going to be in a GDKP if it pays out 40g at the end.

That is why RMT is required.

RmT exists without GDKP you bozo

I literally said imagine if there’s a level 5 raid…

Imagine if you had a rational thought.

Thats not true lets assume 2 GDKP RAIDs 1 with RMT one without

The RMT raid sells items on avg for 1000g per item and has a payout of 800g per serson at the end 20 items were looted

the non RMT raid sells items on avg for 300g per item and has a payout of 200g per person at teh end 20 items were looted.

RMT is just inflation, it is all relative. in an RMT worl the 800g has a gold value of 300g in a non RMT world

I feel like my point supersedes this; if there are no raids being ran then the amount of gold is irrelevant as well as the overall incentive. The raid is a prerequisite to a GDKP just as much as gold. You can’t construct a paradigm without recognizing that.

GDKPs make RMT 10x worse.

It’s pointless discussing this since GDKPs are banned and will remain banned.

Cope and seethe swiper.

We’ve won.

All I hear from these swipers is a lot of “nuh uh!!” “U so dumz!”

Such compelling arguments. :rofl: :rofl:

I guess that’s what rage does to the mind.

Yeah he can’t see straight he’s so mad he can’t pay to win anymore.

RMT exists without GDKPs so your stupid made up world wouldnt ever exist.

I feel like the gdkpers sit in their little discord and try to come up with an argument to present. Someone said, “I know…we’ll compare it to the auction house!” “Oh my gosh, that’s brilliant!!”

It’s just their latest, absurd, ridiculous talking about. They’ll move on to another one when they get even more desperate.

I see.

Well, the AH is a base feature of the game so of course it will exist with or without RMT. The logic is also sound in that you need a great amount of gold to launch a GDKP, something that wouldn’t be available on the first hour of the server.

However, where I fail to see the connection is why RMT is needed to generate this amount of gold. Couldn’t that happen just based on natural player behavior? With your paradigm, what would happen if you extended the time frame for a month and capped the player level to level 5 but also banned RMT? Wouldn’t players generate enough to be able to do a GDKP?

Just Say No
