Blizzard can’t just wipe out legitimately earned gold. Gold from running raids and payouts in GDKPs is earned through gameplay, not RMT. If someone buys gold illegally, that’s on them but it doesn’t make every GDKP payout dirty. GDKPs are a legit system to earn gold, and Blizzard has never treated them as RMT.
Statistically speaking, it’s likely 90% or more of the gold farmed on any given wow server is botted. You’d have to ban your entire playerbase for having botted gold just for using the AH.

Go ahead and cite your source that proves that every GDKP group has multiple gold buyers in it
100% But they dont want to admit that! These are just players who cant think for themselves! Running a GDKP is actually the best loot system. The only downside is the all the RMT/botting in the game! But blizzard wont do anything to combat that! They actually just gave the bots/rmt the best thing they could have ever done! 2 mega servers 1 being a FULL PvE server where the bots cant be ganked and spawn camped!
You buy it every time you receive a payout 
You pay with your time
That’s not “buying gold,”
Thats called a Return on Investment! I love getting paid for my time! It’s rewarding when I don’t get gear I also don’t get left with only a repair bill or wasted gold on consumes! It works out nicely!
In a 25 man team though how many do you think buy gold fairly often?
Tokens or 3rd party sites
You guys remember that hyper spawn in smv in tbc? I remember grinding that for an entire weekend and made about 20k.
Guess that makes me a swiper too 
My last gdkp was a 6/6H MSV and it was an 18k payout.
Most things went for min bid.
unsure if thats good payout for MSV or bad but either way 18k for id assume an hour maybe hour and a half isnt bad
Sure its not bad.
Im just syaing people think of gdkps and think all runs are gold buying whales buying every item for 100k+ and thats so far from the truth.

Horrible take so gonna have to pass on this
its crazy how people think that i did alot of GDKPs in TBC and early wrath outside couple items each raid most are barely above min bid expect the first couple weeks of a raids release
but i guess i dont do them anymore so what happens inside them doesnt effect me at all
why do u think all the gold sellers was trading their gold from wrath & cata classic to retail? because token is converted into balance in retail and as i said Bots and gold sellers earning real cash cus they buy tokens and convert that into balance then buy shop keys/game time and sell that on gaming sites.
it’s a fact that gold equal to real cash in wow, been like that from 10years and you being ignorant is not my problem
blizzard is promoting RMT blizzard is selling GOLD for real cash and allowing people who have gold to get real cash legally with the method i said above.
one of my comments during 2020 in this forums on another account was
“blizz doesn’t ban gold buyers because those people are the future target audience for classic tokens when it arrive”
and funny it arrived
maybe but sir most of the gold you earn are from the gold buyers that join your gdkp’s.
20k in tbc and happy about it? lol that was nothing
i had the gold cap on 2x characters in 2021 tbc.
can you imagine the amount of triggered gdkpers when they add the token and tbc still has gdkps banned
games not meant to be played like that. its even worse when you are paid with rmt

whats stopping you from making your own raid group and having your own rules when no gdkp. the amount of pure laziness why do you even play the game just imagine you do and youll do just about as much as you play now with gdkps

You can say the same thing about farming for 8 hours and selling everything on the AH lol
Im not bragging about the money numpty. The guy was saying people were buying gold with their time for participating in gdkp earnings. Guess it flew over you
