- You literally just shot down your argument how people buy gold to get the darkmoon cards, but you go king
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- GDKP in Season of Discovery
- 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.

- How does this shoot down my argument and not shoot down yours? Oh, it does, because people have been swiping for the last 20 years, we know people have swiped for things as simple as epic riding. They have swiped because they don’t bother learning how to farm that much gph, or did try, and weren’t very good at it/didn’t enjoy knowing how many hours they would have to do it for. Please stop being braindead.
- Yea, plenty of people also open wowhead, check their class bis list, check the ah, and swipe. They’ve done this for years. GDKP not required.
- Literally find one person who specifically farms for BoE world drops. You won’t because you can’t. You know why? Because that’s not lucrative. IF they are farming in an area that can drop a very high value BoE (like Edgemasters or Teebu’s), it isn’t because they are farming that specific BoE, they are farming for raw gold or other sellables and it being a place that can drop such a rare BoE is just a bonus, because you’ll likely never see one even if you farmed for 20 years.
- Blizzard also stated prot warriors in wrath couldn’t tank Anub’Arak adds in TOGC due to a “late wrath change” to how block was calculated. Which was a straight up lie for the record. Blizzard has no clue what they’re doing, nothing they say means anything, it’s all lip service. Same with the GDKP ban, it’s lip service to appease a bunch of morons who think it’ll remove all the RMT and botting in WoW that has always been there for its entire 20 year run regardless of GDKP.
- You wanna know what banning GDKP actually did? Reduced the amount of gold trades. So, that stands to reason that with fewer gold trades they’d have an easier time catching RMT right? And yet, still rampant on SoD. Please, stop, being, stupid, think, for, your, self. I am begging you. The ban, accomplished, nothing.
- Again, Blizzard stating anything means nothing without posting data to back it up. Botting being more incentivized by GDKP should mean nothing, because they should be better at banning the INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS bots in the first place. They aren’t doing anything to combat botting and RMT. It’s weird you keep bringing up market inflation when we have proof it isn’t happening and hasn’t happened in any version of wow in the last 5 years that HAD GDKP. You wanna know what caused market inflation in 2019? When bots had such an absolute stranglehold on the black lotus market that when blizzard increased the amount of spawns black lotus CRASHED from ~100g per lotus to less than 20 over night. As every botter and gold seller desperately tried to escape the market with their full expansions worth of lotus they’d already obtained by the time BWL was out and had been drip-feeding into the economy to drive up prices for profits. That blizzard wasn’t banning while they teleported around under the map.
Again, I am begging you, to stop being stupid. Read what has been typed and spoonfed to you. There is no inflation. There is as much RMT and botting as ever. The GDKP ban is worthless. They put a single plank over a broken window and now we have loud-mouths who live in fantasy land claiming they fixed the window and nobody will freeze to death now.
On your point #6, explain why my cata server has had gdkps since it launched in era and consumes are 4g/ea for a potion and 8g flasks.
If “inflation” is related to the amount of gold on the server why aren’t my consumes 400g per potion and 1,000g per flask?
