Where is the gold coming from? This really seems to be a hard question for you to answer. You keep going in circles while avoiding the question.
Iâll use 2 if I need to but literally the only bosses where they are going to come close to saving your life is loatheb, maexxna, and sapph. If you go construct, plague, spider, military in that order you can EASILY do the night with 1 flask. You can easily make it to maexxna in that order in 2h. Zero reason to have one on for raz and gothik and if you just zerg thane down there is healing in reserve for horsemen. If you make it to sapph then you can drink a second but you are still only at 2 a week in that case.
Casters are a different story, they are always useful. I bought all the eko I would need for classic in p2 when they were dirt cheap. I farmed enough consecrated stones for all of classic. We move right along so not a whole lot of mongoose or other dps pots. Stoneshields arenât very expensive and neither are poison resists. Protections pots are nothing if you kill bosses in a timely fashion. You are talking like 500g max for a week. The more you suck the more it will cost.
Drops and vendoring items and quests, literally the source of all gold in the game.
If gold selling was somehow removed from the game would you still have a problem with GDKPs?
That is the entire point moron.
The issue is not GDKPs, the issue here is gold selling.
Banning GDKPs would not stop people buying gold, people will always buy gold so long as Blizzard does not enforce their own rules.
You people are so blinded by jealousy and anger itâs incredible.

your ability to think logically is apparently hampered for some reasonâŚ
Correct, thatâs how the bots farm it.
Youâre being trolled. If Summonok disagrees with you, he resorts toâŚ

Ad hominem at its best!
Thatâs also how non bots farm it.
Because you are all clueless sheep.
You have no idea how this game actually works, none of you look at the bigger picture or address the real problem here (Blizzards lack of enforcing their own rules).
You all just parrot reddit opinion and think whatever your favourite YouTube clickbait video told you to think.
You all seriously think âbanning GDKPs will solve the gold buying problemâ.
No, itâll only solve your jealousy problem.

Iâm picturing a guy buying something and later stealing that money back says, âI earned that, so itâs mine.â As if heâs going to be let off because heâs technically correct.
The post isnât even about gold buying lol⌠It is about what gdkp has done to the community and pool of players that guilds would, otherwise, have available to recruit. That hope of a payday is reducing the number of people that actually raid each lockout. If they werenât there that idea they were gonna get paid wouldnât be there and, at least, a portion of them would raid somewhere other than sitting on the sidelines begging to get into a gold run.
Not reliably, no, they donât.
Well maybe for those who arenât good at farming.
that and quests is the only place gold comes from. They then concentrate it via botting high need items and boosting.
Doesnât matter how good at farming you are when thereâs multiple unguilded hunters wearing greens stalking every end-game area and casting Eagle Eye forever.
Thought I might add this to the pile.
OP, these topics always go this way. Youâre never, EVER, going to convince these folks that buying their gear with their real life money is the problem. Theyâre always going to say that the issue is how the gold is made, not how itâs distributed. They are not wrong, but they will never admit that their behavior exacerbates the problem.

I hope the issues with your guild can be worked out like they were when you couldnât find healers a few months back (that is if youâre in the same guild). Attrition at this point is really normal as people reach their Classic goals and move on. Itâs not GDKPs to blame for this. Lots of guilds have attrition issues at the end of content (pre-expansions especially) and always have.
With GDKP like you said they get 80-100 sign-ups only because people are looking for easy gold - to buy consumes for their main raids or whatever. GDKPs are a buy-sell business model. Sometimes people want gear too, and theyâll bring alts in etc, but itâs mostly about the gold. Thatâs why the people who run GDKPs need to set rules like you must buy upgrades in addition to needing to find good buyers because almost everyone is there for the payout.
I have guildies who love the things. I know people who do GDKPs on like 3 alts. I am not interested in them so I do not do them. All the gear I want I can get with my guild. I donât need to gear multiple alts and I have enough gold and I have no issues getting consumes. Most people on the forums here are like my guildies and think GDKPs are awesome and will even justify RMT. Therefore you wonât get much support here.
Oh, I think some people are also completely oblivious to it. Like, they havenât done any amount of homework to conceive that it makes no sense to have a game full of bots and yet, somehow, regular players just happen to have truckloads of gold ready to spend.
Where did they get it?
Thereâs the SNAFU.
