ele shamans, arms warriors, moonkin druids. its so bad. its actually communism. and im 100 percent against buying gold. just because there is bad actors the good actors are being punished
GDKPs do not allow for meme specs unless you’re a dedicated buyer (aka carry) who promises to spend tons. Just them parse checking means that you must adhere to min-maxing.

he’s also listing 3 specs that are generally easier to gear with their MS options and boomkins that can actually perform with budget caster gear. You can fury dps/fury prot and be given a MoM if you wanted. You get first dips on both tank gear and dps gear so you can craft a decent arms pvp set. Ele shamen get mail caster gear with zero competition, so you can literally resto heal the entire time and jump into pvp afterwards.
He also doesnt mention rets, who are more gear dependent than the ones he listed. But same deal, you get budget melee items and you can usually get first access to MoM because its technically a pvp weapon. Severance also drops like candy, and has similar stats as r14 weapons. Even drakova tells paladins to just heal and get your gear that way.
That said, GDKPs are more friendly to meme specs. Mostly because the gold aspect and “if you can actually use the stats or the item, then you can win it” are the only loot rules. Other loot systems force MS>OS more rigorously and a short duration on vanilla timeline will impact meme specs looking for pieces to pvp with.

Anyone that’s getting gear in a GDKP is contributing to the pot. To earn your cut you either contribute to the raid or the pot. BiS geared players aren’t coming to feel good about themselves carrying undergeared toons.
everyone is looking for gear in the gdkp. The bis geared players are not full full bis due to the RNG nature of some of the good items they still need. And once they go full bis, they park the toon to start another and wait to pump on DMF days for parses.
Except everyone looking to make gold…
I wish everyone was in there for gear. That would be amazing for the payout. Reality of the situation is, people attend the lucrative gold farms to make gold and not spend it. Sure, some of the people RMTing get large amounts, but overall the economy around RMT is significantly lower due to less velocity of capital throughout.
Gold can be used for everything outside of raiding, which Era actually has because of leveling and alts.
Removing GDKPs is better for bots and RMT. Should GDKPs exist, you have 39 players potentially making all their gold there and not engaging in RMT outside of the raid. Without GDKPs, you only have the potential for players to make gold outside of the raid, thus increasing the potential RMT tenfold. Your potential market for RMT buyers without GDKP is 39 players higher.
Gold is required to do well in this game, and its expected to play end game content in terms of consumables and raid prep. There is a cost of raiding in all scenarios, GDKP just recoups you for it.
0/10 troll attempt, try harder.
Sir this is capitalism
