2019 Classic a summon to felwood 1g summon to J-island for heart 1g… had full GDKP…

GDKP didn’t get popular in the 2019 classic until pretty much TBC.
(And even then it wasn’t THAT popular.)

@Mtn-lone-wolf

The inflation from incursions is about 10000x worse, because it actually generates gold. While gdkps only trade existing gold.

You think GDKP uses player farmed gold…

Don’t we all wish.

2 player archetypes in GDKP
The carries looking for laundered gold.
The buyers looking to buy gear and launder gold.

(Yes, there are exceptions, but they’re just that…exceptions.)

It’s also undeniable that GDKP contributes to and drives a lot of illicit activity, such as real-money trading (RMT) and botting, as it creates a demand for in-game gold that would not otherwise exist. GDKP can create an “arms race” effect that encourages participating players to purchase gold to be able to compete for the best items.
