GDKP Ban on MoP after Realm Consolidation to Mega Servers?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

So you bought 100k gold with your time

Sounds like a great loot system :joy:

Because it’s literally a job for people :joy:

Wrong. They weren’t “buying” gold they were being paid for their time . That’s a fundamental difference.

GDKPs is the only raid systems where your effort has a guaranteed return . Even if you don’t win loot, you don’t walk away with just a repair bill and wasted consumes you walk away with gold in your pocket. That’s a solid ROI for showing up and contributing.

Those people should be banned! Blizzard should actually start banning RMT/Bots!

I dont know why this is such an interesting topic. Its not ever going to happen. Im not saying it is… so well actually crowd… relax… but lets just say it is a driver of RMT. No… THE driver of it. Lets just entertain it for a moment. Who has the easiest to access, safest, and one path to not even possibly have action taken against your account path for RMT? Blizzard… in the shop…

So if it is. They wouldn’t care and probably encourage it. If its not they wouldn’t care. Peek at how those Chinese servers are setup. Note its what they are pivoting to for the next year. You know where they stand. No hate either… people are pulling the plastic so provide them the spot to tap it.

Then note where its banned. Whats… whats missing there?

Right…

This is a nothing burger. Its either doing nothing wrong or it wont be changed because its doing what they want it to do. Live and let live at this point.

Wrong they are paying for rmt with their time

Wrong. RMT = real money transactions. Trading time and effort for gold in a GDKP is just playing the game no cash involved, no RMT.

what? man…
in wow
Gold = Real Cash
why do you think there is tons of indo farmers in anniversary? because they farm gold and that magically transform into real cash :joy:
same can be said for mop gold, not to mention that people in mop official buy gold when they buy the wow shop token for 20$ “to transform it into gold”

That’s not RMT that’s ROI. You put in time and effort, you get a return in gold. RMT requires real money, and there’s none involved here.

Wrong. Gold only equals real cash when you break the rules and sell it. Farming or earning gold in‑game is ROI time and effort for in‑game currency. RMT requires real money transactions, and there’s none in a GDKP payout.

why wouldi spend 25$ on a token (20’ishk) when i can get 50k-75k for the same price on the black market? Also, where do you people think those 50-75k come from? other than botting and gdkp’ers?

We got all the upper grads here trying to work it out. Keep going guys you’re very close

how can you be so delusional

there is TOKEN In shop being sold for 20$ and is converted into gold, i know some people paying +500$ per month for those tokens so they get the gold and you’re saying gold isn’t equals real cash? LOL
so they are buying gold without breaking any rules

you must be living on mars if you don’t know that every single gdkp have gold buyers who buy the gold from 3rd party sites because it’s way cheaper than token’s gold.

• Yes, the WoW Token allows players to exchange real money for in-game gold within Blizzard’s official system. But this doesn’t mean gold inherently equals real cash.

• The key distinction is intent and legality. When gold is acquired via Tokens, it’s a regulated exchange not a direct cash-for-gold transaction between players.

• Saying “gold equals cash” oversimplifies the system. Gold is still a virtual currency with no intrinsic real-world value unless it’s converted through Blizzard’s sanctioned method.

• If someone spends $500/month on Tokens, that’s a personal choice not proof that gold universally equals cash. It’s like saying Monopoly money equals dollars because someone spent $500 on board games.

• This is a sweeping generalization. While some players may engage in illicit RMT (Real Money Trading), it’s inaccurate to claim “every single GDKP” involves gold buyers.

• GDKP (Gold-DKP) runs are not inherently RMT. They’re in-game systems where players bid gold for loot, and payouts are made in gold not cash.

• Blizzard’s Terms of Service explicitly prohibit buying gold from third-party sites. Doing so is a violation, regardless of how common it may be.

• Just because rule-breaking exists doesn’t mean the system itself is flawed or that all participants are complicit.

I myself do multiple GDKPs per week. I don’t buy gold! I actually want RMT/Botting to be perma banned! But blizzard won’t do that because it would impact there bottom line, they rely on rmt/bots for the blanket bans who then blanket resub. This does 2 things.

  1. Shows the investors blizzard is trying to combat the bots
  2. Shows the investrors Blizzard has new/increasing subs.

You guys really have to start adding tldrs to your posts

TLDR

GDKPs are not evil! They are the scapegoat! Blizzard should go after RMT/Bots!

See wasnt that a lot easier and efficient

do you even know that people can convert token into balance then buy products from shop if game time or cd’s to sell it on gaming sites so in the end token convert into gold and gold paid for token are converted into real cash!

with the amount of gold buying selling in wow, as Millions of gold rmt transaction can be shown on those famous gold selling sites, and u can’t comprehend that this massive real money trades are happening because most wow players are either buying & selling gold? you’re hopeless if u don’t know that

saying gdkp doesn’t have rmt when the game is filled with rmt is like saying the sea doesn’t have fish because i can’t see any fish.

people this days are not even afraid to say it loud and clear in voice that they are buying gold.

oh i see it now, so you are just one of those who buy or sell gold and just telling lies so blizzard never destroy the system that allows you to keep buying / selling gold.
because you run multiple gdkp and calming there is no gold buyers sellers in those gdkp’s which is unbelievable unless you are dumb person with 20IQ

if someone said there is no sun i can maybe think that he never go outside during the day or maybe he is a night person only, but he claimed that he go outside everyday in the afternoon and it’s dark without sun…ofc he’s filthy lying for what so ever reasons.

anyway i’m not with the gdkp ban BUT it’s so funny when people say that gdkp isn’t related to rmt or casuing Rmt.

if blizzard for real went after RMT, 99% of the current gdkp’s will vanish.
and if they removed all the gold bots farmed, tracked it and removed it, almost all ur gold will be gone LOL

almost all the gold in faerlina across 5years was created by bots farming raw gold then selling the gold and that gold got into ur hand when u do gdkp with those gold buyers.

That’s not how the WoW Token works. You can either: • Buy a Token with real money and sell it in‑game for gold, or • Buy a Token with gold and redeem it for game time.

If Blizzard was serious about RMT, they’d be shutting down the gold‑selling sites you’re pointing to. Instead, they put their legal weight into nuking private servers while those RMT sites run for years untouched. That shows where their priorities really are.

They should be perma banned! But blizz won’t do that!

No, I don’t buy or sell gold.(this includes WoW tokens) I earn it in‑game and use it in GDKPs the way the system was designed running raids, getting payouts, and then bidding that gold on loot. That’s not RMT, that’s just playing the game.
