Do you think the return of the cloning service would upset GDKP enjoyers?

I used to do DM East lasher farms on my paladin and grinded about 5K+ gold before ever going to a GDKP. Note, I’m not trying to make the argument that people aren’t RMTing, or even trying to downplay the amount of RMT that clearly must be happening (the cost of WoW Tokens in Wrath is a very clear indicator of the appetite for the playerbase to spend real money on gold).

However, as someone who does not RMT, but who has grinded gold, and has attended GDKPs regularly, and who is also incredibly frugal when it comes to bidding on items (generally), it isn’t as if there’s an insurmountable barrier to entry for the average player to get into GDKP loot distribution raiding groups, and it’s also absolutely not clear that GDKP (or bots or RMT or regular old gold farming) have any negative impact on anyone’s enjoyment of the game.

Okay so… do you not see people posting in the forums about bots and RMT or are you personally not sure if Bots and RMT has a large enough negative impact on the anyone’s enjoyment of the game? It doesn’t sound like it affects you negatively because you are a benefactor even though you don’t personally swipe your own credit card. After all, you attend GDKPs which
we at least both agree …

@Snipy-faerlina

it’s likely that some GDKPs have gold that comes from RMT

If you are receiving a GDKP split, I mean, there is a very good chance that you are holding gold that came from RMT. And in classic? 40 man raid GDKPs? U cannot tell me with a straight face that it’s only some GDKPs that have people with RMT-Bankroll.
That aside, If you are true to your word legit non swiping GDKP enjoyer, I can think of many other people who openly boast and upload their GDKP plunders for the world to see who should be held accountable first.

I do still wonder how much gold you make per hour grinding outside of GDKP. My guess is that you are not making 5,000 gold per hour in classic era farming lashers. If you somehow did make that much in an hour, you could consider your time worth 30 dollars an hour had you decided to RMT.

I have to assume you combine some of the gold you farm with the gold split you earn from GDKP, save it up over a few raids and then you spend on an item. I can appreciate someone who is frugal. I’m frugal too. If I were to do GDKP I would make sure I were attending GDKPs where I was sure to receive a lot of gold from splits by running in high bank roll groups as a carry but also separately attend GDKPs where I knew that I could win bids on valuable items for cheap.

The barrier to enter a GDKP is low, but the ceiling is as big as your wallet is. Ultimately the persistent attendance to GDKPs can net you enough gold to buy your own items if you spend wisely. As I said before, if people legitimately farmed their gold for GDKPs rather than RMTing, so be it!

But it just cannot be so.

Can we do something about the RMT in this game blizz? We would all love it if the game regained a little integrity and you did the right thing. Thanks, concerned Azerothian

^thats a lot of chicken nuggies.

which brings me here again will people who raid GDKP be upset if I were take their raid spot my classic era clone?
