GDKP Ban Explained

  1. You literally just shot down your argument how people buy gold to get the darkmoon cards, but you go king :slight_smile:
  2. Someone has to do it, and given its BIS as you stated, yes im paraphrasing “any real raider shows up geared for raid” . Then sounds like its your job to go out and farm all the required materials yourself or farm gold to pay someone else who did do the farming to give you the materials.
  3. Sure, like no one “farms” mounts either. I’ve literally been in comms with guildies who sat there for 8 hours a day doing archeology, dungeons, mount farming, etc non-stop. Just because you don’t farm rare drop chance items till you get it doesn’t mean others arnt.
  4. Blizzard themselves have stated GDKPs and people doing RMT are directly tied to one another, that it incentivizes RMT and botting. Like it or not, fact dont care if you agree or not.
  5. GDKP in Season of Discovery
  6. Actually it does, Blizzard has stated directly that GDKPs incentivize botting and RMT. If botting is incentivized then more players will be willing to run bots, scale up those operations, etc to meet gold buying/selling demands. This gold never “leaves” the economy it just gets shifted around via the AH and GDKPs. As a result the total volume of liquid gold in the market continues to grow and thus the cost of goods also continue to grow to compensate. This is called inflation. Just because its an incame currency doesn’t mean its not subject to the same process. Weird you say its a widely prefered loot system considering Blizzard has also stated they have received primarily positive feedback about the SoD GDKP bans and as observed in these forums, social media, youtube videos and comments, etc most people seem to be for the bans aswell. Occams razor says yet again your wrong. Maybe in your world somehow blizzards wrong, all the online feedback in every medium is also wrong and your the only one thats right. But obviously thats not correct.

Blizzard themselves stated the two are directly tied together, so have gold buyers/sellers who were interviewed previously, so have other players. Occams Razor again would state your incorrect in your assertion that everyone but you is wrong.

Clearly you either don’t do your research on how in game economies work (both in WoW and outside of WoW), what blizzard has stated are the cause/effect of GDKPs and gold buying, etc or your willingly ignoring it to justify you being allowed to Launder RMT gold into your account. In either case until you actually do said research or accept that its problem no progress can be made in this discussion. As facts dont seem to matter to you, only the fact you want to run GDKPs matter.
