I will make this as short as possible for those reading but there are a few things I need to address. First, is GDKP the only thing that is being banned or are all In-Game services being affected? I.E. Selling Dungeon carries, Selling warlock summons, Selling profession services, Selling Raid carries and the list goes on. What I am trying to figure out is the reason behind the actual ban for GDKPs, if the goal is to preserve the integrity of the game then just simply ban the bots and people trading large amount from weird 1 off characters and that would fix the RMT issue at hand, not banning a loot system. I won’t get off into how and why I think this is a horrible idea and at the very least they should provide a separate server for anyone who wants to stay and do GDKPs can have their OWN server and I promise that will be the highest population server in SOD. Please give explanation so I know how to adjust my gameplay going forward as someone who I heavily invested in forming and organizing GDKPs. Thank you, please comment even the negative ones so blizzard responds.
whoever came up with this no GDKP idea should be fired for real.
Prohibition is completely stupid. It will just make people form GDKPs “underground” and not fix the root of the issue which is botting and gold selling. If they don’t find a way to effectively ban bots or gold selling nothing changes
GDKPs and GBID are banned.
BANNED
As in you can’t do them. Muahahahahaha.
And if other services are allowed and able to be advertised in Trade as the current policy states, will malicious reporting be penalized if the seller is following the stated rules?
Blizzard, enabling angry/bored players attempting to weaponize your reporting system isn’t conducive to supporting a healthy community.
The anti GDKP people are toxic af.
I am so excited for all of the “WHY DID I GET BANNED?!” posts in P2 from people who thought they were super slick running “discord GDKPs” that “just wanted to give their friend some gold” or whatever excuse they use.
I literally cannot wait to watch people get slapped down in droves over trying to skirt the rules and manipulate the system to continue feeding themselves RMT gold.
Ah god. It’s gotta be fattening somehow. My blood sugar has to be rising. I need GDKP insulin.
i can promise you the only reason gdkp server would be the “highest population in sod” is because of all of your thousands of bots that you bring with you
Only takes 1 person to SS the “underground raid” (hahahah, sounds so ridiculous) and they all get banned.
Dont think this underground stuff will survive. Much like the Kumite street fights in Hong Kong during the 1990s, this wont last.
/snicker
It’s ALL bannable, most likely.
It’s solo self-found for me from here on out.
These are the people that think GDKP is toxic and want you to raid with them. Lmaoo
Nope.
I’m just wanting Blizzard to clarify and stand by their stated commitment to “playing nice”. Enabling bullying isn’t doing that.
You’ll never get that staff now!
You are actually brain dead if you think Blizzard have or are willing to use the man power to police this. They lay off half their staff and you think some slave employee is going to go over screenshots people send in? It’s literally just going to be mass reports for people advertising in LFG, like it has always been during classic.
The only reason they even implemented this is because they’ve received so many reports for GDKPs and its not against TOS so they get a ton of appeals when people have been auto-flagged by mass reporting. thats time and money wasted on manual staff resolutions - this stops people from being able to appeal and eliminates having to deal with GDKP mass-reporting bans
Yea these are also technically false reports which is against ToS. Just picking and choosing and hard handing player agency.
Community standards are set by the community.
Aw.
Less people playing to enjoy the token then.
The community decided GDKP is BiS. I was avidly against GdKP in TBCC, but over time you don’t want to spend 3 hours with bads every reset so you get into GDKP for smooth, clear, carries.
It just saves so much time to run a GDKP and know everybody is good enough to clear speedily rather than waste hours to some gray parser wiping the group just to steal your loot.
What? Can you try to be more clear on wtf ur talking about. Do you mean you are so awesome at the game and I must be bad? There is nothing about the game that is hard.
Oh Heavywood, do you need your video game ego stroked? You must be really cool at WoW? Can I pay you gold to take me on a magical journey in WoW?
Thanks you big Heavy hitter.
Your new friend xoxo (Feel better yet?)
You’re just proving my point with that extremely toxic response.
