This is the way.
I’ll be honest here. I got to lvl 25, got decked out Super fast, and once the GDKP train started coming through the station, carried some GDKPs for some easy gold. It’s easy. Invite the whales and watch them fight tooth and nail to buy items left and right.
I’ve been vocal on the forums before on the topic of GDKPs. I don’t think they belong in WoW. Trivializing the game through transactional gameplay, ESPECIALLY in the raiding environment isn’t what MMORPGs like WoW are meant to be.
There are plenty of opportunities to get great groups together AND target specific loot through Soft Reserves outside of the guild-oriented social structures.
Embrace SR and let’s get on with SoD!

sorry but it will just remain MS>OS like 99% of runs
I agree with this tbh, Most Raids on WOTLK and even some I’ve done in SOD have had
MS > OS +1 with 2 SRs and it feels and seems like a perfectly viable set of loot rules tbh, you can comfortably throw a pick on a few items, MS roll on stuff you like, ect ect.
And if you don’t like those rules? Just be a human make some friends, raid with a guild with Group loot I guess, I dunno.
Just my opinion of course.

Soft res is the best loot system.
The only reason people don’t like it is because it works and limits how much gear they can get.

Without GDKP, expect to see more SR runs with HRs on the big item(s).
GDKP helped provide an option for very geared players to greatly improve their chances of obtaining the last few items they needed, or to obtain some gold for their time and effort.
Without this, you will now have to form your own raids or suffer HRs.
There will, of course, still be plenty of standard MS>OS runs for the very undergeared / new players to attend, no problem!
So what.
Don’t join a HR run if you don’t like it.
It doesn’t cause RMT or botting so who cares if someone HRs something
Cry harder swiper.

? I don’t buy gold, why are you so aggressive?
Don’t join a HR run if you don’t like it.
Yes, that is exactly what I just said, there will be plenty of MS>OS runs full of people who need every single item that you do too. Enjoy!
Thought you were defending GDKPs. Carry on.

its also annoying for the raid organizer to use that discord login site.
There are addons that do it all in game chat. It’s not hard.
ah got a link? i just hate using that website
Like this one

You just whisper reserves.
There are several not sure if this one works in SoD.
I checked, it does work in SoD.
I can discuss the benefits of GDKP to an individual without being a gold buyer/swiper/pro bot whatever myself.
A buddy invited me to his 2 srs, I dont mind them, I’ll probably just run ms>os the majority of the time still though.
I do like the UI and how you can see who is going for what right away.
Yes you can with the addon I linked.
It’s a simple chat command.
Or if you have the addon it shows you in a UI.

yea i really don’t mind gdkp but i also don’t participate so I don’t care either way.
SR does exactly this as well. I second your dislike of HR runs, and for the most part, I do not partake or join any.
At least SR system let’s you see how many people are targeting the same items. This at least let’s you decide whether you want to proceed or find a new group.
