LMAO how can you justify it quantify that bots are doing the summoning? Let’s talk about more stuff we have non- evidence of.
Are you seriously arguing that the summon bots aren’t bots? Why do the messages all look the same, especially with unnatural formating? “WINTERSPRING.Summon” – “If you would like to be removed from the banlist, email us.”
Who in the hell manages and monitors an email account for summons? … It’s a bot.

Just sell the service, not the loot. That will get around the GDKP rule.
The rules say you are not allowed to do that go cry else where

Have fun getting banned for that ill enjoy watching
How do you get banned for something that’s not against the rules?
It seems like trying to control the way others play a 20 year old game is the only source of enjoyment in your life. SAD.
The rules literally do not say that. You are extrapolating upon the ambiguity and assuming that it would fall under the umbrella of GDKP when it is an obvious unaddressed and as of yet unenforced grey zone.
You are not allowed to sell items or gear from dungeons enjoy than ban troll
Except in vanilla hunters sold tribute gear I think you need to rethink your vanilla experience
Blizzard literally said you cant. If you didnt know the answer why tf would you respond
Yea if they said dont do it dont do it but arguing it didnt happen in vanilla is obtuse and disingenious tribute runs is how hunters made vanilla vold
Who’s arguing it didn’t happen in vanilla?
The only statement on this I have seen is that GDKP raids are specifcally banned, not any other type of activity that was previously permissible under the standard rules.
I have not seen any statement on that, only that you cannot do any GDKP systems specifically. There has been no other clarifications that I have seen.
You could literally seel DM tribute runs back in the day, and I haven’t seen this clarification.
I spent a lot of phase 1 offering WC / SFK stealth runs on my rogue to kill bosses and let ppl loot within range and pay for them. This became banned with the GDKP ban. You can google it (don’t personally feel like it) but there’s a blue post that mentions the act of selling items in dungeons to players is prohibited

What about the sale of summons to dungeons, or the sale of a cleared instance such as a tribute lockout for buffs? This is why I just find this GDKP ban to be terrible, because it really creates these weird impacts to general player behavior as a consequence.

Yeah Idk. I won’t do GDKP raids but I am not going to tip toe around being an extra good boy and assume that the ban extends to everything like these guys do.
I’d assert that “in the spirit of GDKPs” are forbidden. GDKPs are effectively “selling equippable loot.” (This extends to quest items that award equippable loot and Epic crafting materials.) I’d think it’d be very hard to convince a Customer Support rep (a real human) that “I was selling the Tribute chest” is any different from “I was selling loot.” I think the question to solve is “can I distinguish this from a GDKP?” and I think that comes down to intentions.
Selling a service is not that. Leveling boosts where you can keep all the loot? Generally, the primary purpose is selling a leveling boost. And in good faith, you aren’t paying gold to get specific loot.
I can also consider biproducts here. The joke being “selling guns is illegal, but I’m giving it away with a purchase of a bottle of Pepsi.” So, would selling the Tribute chest and selling a Tribute carry effectively be any different? Not really, I’d assert.
In short, selling a Tribute chest is likely going to fall under the GDKP policy. But this would need clarification, it’s just discussing opinions for now.
Maybe try asking on the customer service forum where you might get an answer from someone who actually knows?

It was always noted in the discussions around the GDKP issue, because that’s what Blizzard based this very nebulous policy on, that the issue with GDKP was the largescale nature of those involved in the process, and the relatively difficult aspect of tracking and monitoring all the gold changing hands. And it was a LARGE sum of gold.
Is selling a BOE drop in trade chat now going to fall under this system? Trash drops from raid? Unbound crafting materials? What makes selling THOSE items at any other time significantly different than selling the tribute chest loot? Because the only distinction there is the fact the item has to be looted from the chest.
Likewise what about guilds that sell bindings, or legendaries.
It’s such a terribly dumb and needlessly limiting pressure on players. I have a guildie that wants to learn the solo tribute runs as hunter. Now he has little to no reason to if he can’t recover value from the chest.
