Any pics ?
There was someone in one of these threads the other day saying it was difficult for some people to get 4k
Thats the type of people these threads deal with, poor people comin out the trailer park with their accusations
I fluctuate between having 20k and up to 80k at any time, and never have bought gold. If you run a gdkp on two chars, it is a lot of gold per week coming in if you have some restraint. If you pay 4k per orb on day 1, then yeah you might need to swipe.
It went for 40k in my GDKP, your point?
I mean hey, if people are stupid enough to pay real money and let the bids go out of control because they completely lost the value of gold, thatâs their problem but donât expect this kind of scenario to happen everywhere and all the time.
Also you wonât get rich with dailies, you have the play the AH.
I swear every single GDKP threads are infested with ignorant and poor people who canât see themselves having more than 10k gold so they assume we all swipe. Idiots.
Its pretty much because theyre too lazy to do the bare minimum themselves to make gold
I think people struggle to comprehend the concept of people dumping and regaining gold so quickly in GDKPs. I have 20k gold and Iâve never done anything particularly fancy to get there. It should last me till the end of WoTLK and thatâs all I need it to do, but that 20k gold doesnât get me very far as far as GDKPs go. If I decided to get into GDKPs Iâd have to join as a carry and start amassing. I could probably pick up some non-HM loot that is not highly contested, but I wouldnât be touching items like flares or starshards for quite a long while.
Then you have people who have been running GDKPs since Vanilla and amassed a ton of gold, not to mention run 1-5 a week, and start on the first week when pots are the biggest and that causes the pots to snowball with each passing expansion. Their gold fluctuates massively as they cycle between dumping and carrying.
Exactly. The barrier to entry into a GDKP now is either get very geared with a guild and then leave that run to carry a GDKP (likely ruining your relationship with your guild), or buy tons of gold so you can afford to buy gear.
I accumulated 80k from tbc GDKPs and phase 1 wotlk, but even that would all but disappear in a single GDKP as Iâd be expected to buy a lot since Iâm not geared enough to be a carry.
False. I can get into a GDKP today with 0 gold. Streamer GDKPs are where youd lose 80k in a single one
Joining a GDKP with 0 gold goes against the whole purpose of a GDKP. If you get in one and arenât expected to buy, thats a win for you no doubt.
But obviously the GDKP organizer is not doing their research.
Iâve done many GDKPs with different organizers and they all have asked for a buy list, show gold in trade and expected spend amount, or logs to prove that Iâm a carry.
Kudos to you for ripping off a GKDP. I would if I could.
Its not really ripping it off. Youâre talking about the barrier to entry, which is very low. If I can get in with 0 gold so can you. GDKPs these days are focusing on hardmodes rather than carrying players.
Thatâs what I donât understand - if they are letting people in who donât plan on buying, they are doing the GDKP a disservice as the whole point is to bring people in to buy gear and for the carries to make a profit.
What youâre describing certainly hasnât been my experience.
Faerlinaâs GDKP discord will go as far as banning you if you sign up as a buyer and donât buy. And of course you wouldnât even get an invite if you sign up as a carry and donât have the logs to prove it.
0 gold and zero gear or geared with zero gold? I got into a handle of T6 GDKPs without any intention of buying, but I was geared to the teeth back then.
T7 GDKPs are probably pretty accessible though, but as far as Ulduar is concerned if youâre zero gold and zero gear they arenât bringing you, and if they are Iâd really like to know why beyond being incompetent.
So run the t7 gdkps until you have enough gold or gear to get into the Ulduar ones? it isnât rocket science.
Stereotype much?
Currently im 4967 with all hardmodes aside from Algalon experience. The 3 GDKP groups I join dont ask for screenshots of your gold. I will say that there are some GDKPs that have a barrier to entry that might be difficult for some (even 10k wouldnt be difficult), but from what Ive seen most of them dont even have the starting bids at 1k. You could get into most GDKPs with 5-10k gold and be fine. Takes less than a week to get 10k. Im sure you yourself know that though.
I sold my 90 badges for 1600g, that is a good start.
Whatâs a GDKP flare?
Donât get me wrong. There are people that do buy gold. But obtaining gold is extremely easy if you just play the game. Gold buyers are usually people that are just too lazy to obtain the gold themselves.
A lot of people that do gdkps do more than one per week.
I know people who literally graph out their gold income to save a million gold for Shadowmourne.
That person plays the AH and does gdkps on his alt and raids on his main.
Not saying people donât buy gold but this community now sees gold and automatically thinks that person bought it.
We all guilty until proven innocent instead of innocent until proven guilty.
This community has gotten insane
I just sold 180 badges like 2 weeks ago for 4k.
