Make gdkp’s great again
Proposal for shadowstrike to test gdkp return in bwl perfect test case scenario blizzard claim our server is on edge of sustainable.
They’ve stopped server transfers to see what happens.
Suggest unbanning gdkp’s on only shadowstrike opening transfers to our server and monitoring the outcome especially player numbers.
Also the thread about them revisiting the policy
bumping this thread for visbility the overwhelming majority want gdkp’s back and you have the perfect scenario to reintroduce them in a controlled enviroment and let the results speak for themselves.

I know at least 2 people who have never bought gold in 20 years of wow who bought gold after the gdkp ban lmao so ironic.

Shocking - it’s almost like before the gdkp ban they were just buying gold with extra steps via inviting whales that bought gold to the raid, and then getting some of the goldbuyer gold as a reward.
Then ban the gold buyer not the loot system crazy idea i know.
Or ban both, since the system promotes goldbuying since it makes the action of goldbuying have more uses.
I know isn’t it crazy to think that if something has more use/applications that sales would increase?

Or unban them because it makes the game more popular and is a seasonal server.

Let’s break down the benefits of keeping GDKP’s banned in SoD Here are several compelling reasons why this ban is beneficial for the game and its community:
Preservation of Traditional Guild Structures:
- Community Focus: By keeping GDKP runs banned it helps to maintain the traditional guild and social structures that are central to the spirit of SoD. This encourages players to participate in guild activities and build stronger in-game communities.
- Fair Play: It reduces the “arms race” effect where players feel pressured to buy gold to compete for the best items.
Reduction of Pay-to-Win Dynamics:
- Balanced Gameplay: By keeping GDKP runs removed, the game becomes less about who can spend the most money and more about skill and teamwork.
- Less Gold Buying: It discourages the practice of buying gold, which can lead to a healthier in-game economy and reduce the risk of account suspensions for players.
Enhanced Raid Experience:
- Traditional Loot Distribution: Players return to more traditional methods of loot distribution, which can make raids feel more rewarding and fair.
- Increased Challenge: Without the ability to buy gear, players must rely on their skills and strategies to progress, potentially making the game more challenging and engaging.
Fairness and Equality:
- GDKP runs often favors players with more in-game gold, creating an imbalance where wealthier players could easily outbid others for the best gear. By banning GDKP, Blizzard aims to level the playing field, ensuring that gear acquisition is based more on skill and participation rather than financial resources.
Encouraging Teamwork and Community:
- Traditional raid systems encourage players to work together and support each other to achieve common goals. since GDKP’s have been 86’d, Blizzard is promoting a more collaborative and community-focused environment, which can enhance the overall social experience of the game.
Preventing Exploitation:
- GDKP runs are often exploited by players who used real money to buy in-game gold, violating the game’s terms of service and creating an unfair advantage. The ban helps to curb such exploitative practices and maintain the integrity of the game.
Balancing the Economy:
- The influx of gold from GDKP runs inflate the in-game economy, making it harder for average players to afford essential items. By banning GDKP, Blizzard can help stabilize the economy and make it more accessible to all players.

If someone has to constantly make sure to tell people they are “the most highly regarded member”, I can assure you they 100% are not lol
You and your 8 alts with the same name on the same server aren’t “the overwhelming majority”
It’s not exactly hard to not be active when every time it remotely dies down, Elrond comes back with his 8 alts to bump it, new people that see it just to say “no no one wants this” and other people that come just to say things like what you said are the majority of the posts.
This isnt even about anything anymore, its just elrond and his alts lying saying its popular, and both opposing sides just going “nuh uh” and “yeah huh” over and over.
Even if everyone stops replying, you best believe elrond will do everything in his power to post on as many alts as he can to make it seem like the thread is active because he is by passing the “3 posts in a row” rule by posting on multiple different characters.
