GDKP in Season of Discovery

[Bergelmir-fairbanks]

RMT’s are definitely happening in SoD still w/o GDKP’s. No one has denied this

Okay, go on.

@Lorasilis-wild-growth

So GDKP’s are a very large or majority of the reason for RMT’s

Wait what?

@Lorasilis-wild-growth

RMT’s are an agreement between two people to break ToS and cheat

Sounds like a problem.

@Lorasilis-wild-growth

Until Blizzard decides that pros of having GDKP’s out weight the cons then they’ll still be gone

1. What cons? RMT? GDKP isnt RMT. Its like banning fishing because bots fish. Its ridiculous logic.
2. This isnt the dev’s decision to make. Their job is to listen to the community. The community created gdkp and it is so popular that it dominates every version of classic wow. Why is that? Here’s why:

If you're banning GDKP, what alternative solution are you offering?

GDKP has always been an imperfect solution to a very real problem. I exclusively run GDKP for my guild as well as pugs because it is objectively the best option I have, despite the very obvious downsides. GDKP in the current form is a 5/10 loot system (at best), but it is so much better than random rolls, loot councils, or any other alternative we have available. Here’s a list of things that never happen in a GDKP, but happen all the time in other loot systems. A person winning an item that…

Would there be some people still be playing the game? The answer is yes, but it’s no where near where it would have to be to out weigh the cons GDKP’s bring

What cons? RMT? You said yourself it still happens and to be honest I cant tell the difference.

@Lorasilis-wild-growth

The people who run GDKP’s to sell gold are complaining and are quitting

Lmao, yeah okay. Myself and all my friends are all RMT scum! Same bad faith argument for the last 6 months.

Its a long post just to say Blizz should target RMT, which everyone agrees on.

@Lorasilis-wild-growth

If you see someone cheating report it and then Blizzard handles it

Sure, but please tell me an example of you seeing RMT. Bots or RMT advertising? Yeah I report those all the time. But I mean RMT in action. You telling me you know when a lvl 1 alt is a bank vs an RMT mule? Or when a player walks up to the mailbox and grabs RMT gold? No, you dont and neither do I. We have zero data so stop with the nonsense.
