They don’t or threads like this wouldnt exist nor would they continue to be bumped. They would be closed by now. And yet, we’re still talking.
People, and blizzard, have NEVER stated the claim that GDKP was solely responsible, even in this very thread. We continue to tell you people over and over that it was found to be the highest contributor to RMT and botting and that’s been successfully curbed in SoD judging by their complete silence on reinstating it.
Every single time the conversation ends with me or someone else pointing out that it isn’t coming back, yall resort to “WeLl BoTs StIlL eXiSt HuH wHy??” in a “checkmate liberal” attitude and it never catches and it never works because no one has ever stated it’s the only cause or that botting/RMT is completely gone as a result.
This is just a gross generalized assumption that you, nor anyone else in this thread, can not make because none of us can see the future nor can we see what they are planning.
They might not move it anywhere else but sod regardless of its success or failure purely because they have the wow token everywhere else and removing access to GDKPs absolutely destroys their token value.
They might just enact it on modes that dont have the token.
They might not do anything to any mode but sod in general.
We don’t know until, at minimum, a blue response updates people on the situation of this ban and where it’s going, if anywhere, or if the seasonal ends and its extended to Classic +, or other modes, without a post.
Cause you KNOW if they move it to game modes with the wow token without saying anything everyone and their great grandma’s ghost will be saying something on the forums.
So just wait.
The one thing we do know, is it is not going to come back to SoD as we are two tiers into level 60. That’s almost the entire lifetime of classic or its seasonal servers with the ban firmly in place without a word from blizzard or any particular dev on any platform. They don’t stay silent this long if they had any intention on putting it back.
Even still. SoD isn’t over until, at minimum, Naxx is released. Since they havent released a single thing that is new outside of a phase that had old content, I feel it is extremely unlikely we will get a phase after Naxxramas. I predict, that Karazhan Crypts will be released in the Naxx patch, and if they dont give us Scarlet Monastery/Cathedral in AQ or Naxx, they likely have scrapped the idea despite showing the picture at Blizzcon and aren’t giving it to us until they announce Naxxramas. Hell it might have even been replaced by Gnomeregan despite both being shown together, since they were both level 40 dungeons and both of them would have been level 40 raids if implemented with the same level bracket in mind.
