Already demonstrate it with logic. There are also servers where this can be observed.
And this is what will become of SoD. We are already headed there. Gnomer epics will be selling for thousands of gold. P3 will see 10x gold amounts. etc
Youll see 100k gold bids by P4
Here is the main reason why GDKPs are the most RMT - That RMT to buy a substantial item is spread to Numerous other characters. Now factor in that many people RMT to GDKP, that is a mass spread of illicit gold not limited to the buyer and seller.
On my serverâs AH âHumbertâs helmâ is currently selling for 99g 99s this is the Prebis helm for leather wearers and is only available to Horde, so Alliance have to pay a premium to get of course.
The leather headpieces from raid typically (fro what I understand) typically sell for 10-20g
So the AH costs more money for a lower quality item, yet GDKPs are the issue?
Personally I think all the people who badmouth GDKPs hae a stake in the game of AH flipping stuff. Because obviously GDKPs remove clients that would otherwise go to their auctions and buy it.
With the amount of people in SOD, I guarantee you will see these values by P4, right out the gate. There will be people with hundreds of thousands of gold, ready to go, specifically for GDKPs.
This is one of the problems with GDKP. You have people in T2.5 and T3 doing MC, and then someone who is -actually- preBiS for MC will be a lot closer to âgrey parsingâ because their numbers relative to people who sandbag the raid is very low.
So yes. What does someone who is geared to start doing MC have any business doing MC when everyone else is 2-3 tiers of gear above MC?
Itâs like a bunch of adults with $5000 bicycles gatekeeping a kids bicycle race that was originally meant to be fun.
Because RMT isnât going anywhere. Itâs impossible to 100% remove, and even if they could, the gold is already floating around in the economy due to the ease of botting from day 1.
GDKP would still exist even if Blizz somehow managed to instantly detect and ban botting programs before the gold was injected into the economy in this fairytale situation. The prices would just be lower, and âwhalesâ would be the AH masters, or people who can no life the game mage boosting or aoe farming, instead of swiping. There would still be players running around with way more gold than your average Joe willing to blow it on items.
With that in mind, its the fastest way to gear your character if you have gold, and the most efficient way to make gold if you donât have it. Simple as that.
SoD has attracted the p2w kiddos, that is why you are seeing GDKPâs advertised. Just keep reporting them when advertised. Itâs having an affect as evidenced by the amount of crying from the p2w kiddos in general chat and these forums. Cheers!
This word salad reminded me that all deviants have an excuse for their behavior. For example, thieves do not think they are doing anything wrong. They believe they are somehow entitled to the things they take.
In fact I was in a pvp guild that merged with a pve guild back in vanilla, and about 1/3 of the raid were people in pvp blues.
The people in their T3 gear right now who were able to raid easily in greens and pre-preBiS, have pulled the ladder up from under them and require much more to âbring to the tableâ than they needed to bring themselves.
It wouldnât be such a problem if 99% of groups werenât GDKP like they are right now.
Arguably, theyâre doing the opposite. By establishing a separate set of criterion than usual - that is good gear, good knowledge of the content, high skill, etc. - theyâre enabling people that normally wouldnât get to go to enter based on the size of their wallets.
