Then the math is wrong. People farmed thousands of gold in vanilla and they are certainly doing so now in classic.
And yes it’s very publicly known how to do it, it’s not some SUPER SEKRET, which is why even more people have that much gold legitimately in classic.
“the math is wrong”
Yeah man, the graphs and data people compiled, the amount of hours x the amount of runs and looting shown in the video is wrong. Ok bud. The way you are talking is like you don’t believe bots exist. Freakin hilarious
Oh I know bots exist.
But when you make claims that are proven false by reality, since people can and do in fact thousands of gold legitimately, then your math is simply wrong and needs to be corrected.
Sorry if that’s a blow to the ego of those who can’t/won’t farm themselves…
quite the opposite, the proof in the video shows how it’s just not possible people farm the amount of gold in the economy. Show me the proof, here’s mine, watch that then try telling me that math is wrong. Has nothing to do with ego. I think it has more of the fact you can’t admit you’re the one in the wrong. Also you are under the assumption for some strange reason I won’t /can’t farm. I’m on skeram dude, gold isn’t a thing, we farm the mats we need to raid and we’re good to go, we killed 4HM the other day.

edit: the math part starts around 3:40
Except I’ve never claimed that RMT’s don’t exist. What you are claiming is that GDKP’s only exist because RMT gold, which is patently false.
No… I’m claiming they exist because of bots… this is what this entire conversation has been about. What the heck have you been reading. The RMT come as a result of bots farming the gold…
Right which is false, GDKP’s exist perfectly fine with RMT/Bots(since you want to use those interchangeably)
Just like RMT’s would continue to exist without GDKP’s.
I fail to see how, because you need currency to exchange the items, gold is the currency. You can’t exchange RMT in game for items unless you’re in japan and have the WoW token.
But this is a side topic, our initial argument was me saying bots are farming most of the gold when you think it’s humans. You are wrong on that front but just won’t admit it so this is kinda worthless to continue.
gdpk made me quit classic its terrible
well come over the alliance skeram… we don’t have it here haha
Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t realize that the AH didn’t exist, I didn’t realize trade windows didn’t exist, I wasn’t aware you couldn’t mail gold.
did you even watch the video? I’m guessing you didn’t because you didn’t want to be proven wrong after seeing all the math done. You know what the guy who traded 198k gold said how he made all that gold? From DME runs… I bet you believe that too.
I’ve never claimed people didn’t buy gold and use it in GDKP.
You are the one claiming that that is the only source of gold used in GDKP’s which is flat out wrong.
I never said that… MOST of the gold is. Yes people farm gold, there’s a lock in my guild who farms DME daily all day long and the amounts he makes pales in comparison to what people have on other servers. Mathematically it is just not possible for the amount of gold in the economy on some servers without bots.
So yes people farm gold but bots farm more of it. That’s it, and that’s the truth.
And?
GDKP would exist without buying gold, people like you who think acquiring thousands of gold without buying it is impossible would still whine about it.
On the same note botting and buying gold will continue to exist without GDKP’s.
yeah and your double quote of two dude’s essays takes up half the thread
and at least you finally admitted it
I’ve always admitted RMT’s happen and the gold gets used in GDKP’s.
Still waiting for you to acknowledge that GDKP’s would happen regardless of RMT and the RMT would happen regardless of GDKP’s.
my initial dispute with you was that bots are the main source of gold in the game when you thought real players were actually farming all this gold that’s in the economy. It wasn’t about me not acknowledging gdkp’s happening. I literally never once said that in this thread so at this point I’m just questioning your reading comprehension.
So I’ll say it again. Bots are the main source of gold in the game… not players farming it.
TBH i don’t mind gdkp… if you think that’s my problem it’s not… my problem is with people having all the gold they have from the bots.
That’s fine, you can theorize however much you want about how much gold bots actually add.
