GDKP (PayPal Looting) is a toxic gold buyers paradise

Nobody would exchange their dkp for gold if it was a 1 way conversion, the value of gold would never be equal or greater than the exclusive currency

Ive played multiple games with similar systems and the conversion is always just either a sink for currency you have zero use for any more, or it is a noob trap that only idiots that dont know better would convert

I mean if you’re looking for a single player game there are lots of them out there.

I’m not sure what you mean, because if you buy anything with gold while being a GDKP raider that’s what you’re doing. There’s a certain price at which you are willing to spend your “currency for buying raid loot” on mats and consumables. You pay that price all the time.

Under the current system i can earn “dkp” OUTSIDE of raids as well, and i can always sell items i dont need for more “dkp”

Under your system you wouldn’t be able to do that

One-way conversion currencies never exchange “evenly”

Yep and the DKP would be the higher valued currency so therefore the exchange to gold would be a rip off and thered be nearly no reason to have gold to begin with.

Again, every time you spend gold on anything as a GDKP raider you are doing the equivalent of exchanging DKP for “gold”. I don’t know how it is possible to be so dense as not understand this.

As for the value of the conversion, the NPC broker would find the fair market value of the DKP just like the AH does with everything listed there.

Its because you’re the dense one that hasnt thought about his dumb idea thoroughly

Lol, okay, well explain for this dense one how you’re not spending your DKP on consumables when you trade gold for consumes on the auction house (as a GDKP raider).

If i want to right now i can take my gold earned from my gdkp runs and invest in bulk buying flasks/consumables

Then at a later date i could decide to sell those flasks i bought for gold to then use in a gdkp because i might be low on gold

Your alternative system does not offer the same level of flexibility, thus making it objectively inferior

That’s correct because DKP and the BoP gear it buys is earned through raiding not botting, AHing, or your paycheck. If you want to earn gear without raiding, you might as well make everything BoE.

The idea that an RMT-infested loot system like GDKP is preferable to an RMT free one just so that you can pretend you do “stonks” on flasks is not particularly compelling.

You have to physically be there on your character to get the gear the boss drops and be lucky enough for it to actually drop doing gdkp

Not the same as making items BoE

One is already well established, the other one is very poorly thought out

Yes. Mine is poorly thought out because you can’t “do stonks” on flask investments with DKP. GDKP is not poorly thought out even though people directly RMT for gold and gear while lying about it to others in the raid.

The reason this is not a flaw of GDKP in your eyes? Hmm, who knows. What could that reason possibly be? I wonder…

Probably because you havent thought it out and its very flawed. You’re trying to make it deeper than it is.

Youve already shown 2 different alterations just in this thread to this system. You dont even know what the system is at this point.

Or… to you, RMT is a feature of GDKP, not a flaw. :slight_smile:
You’ve already established in this thread, along with the rock apes RMT-gang, that there is literally NOTHING that could change about GDKP in order to prevent RMTing. No feature, no concession, nothing is worth losing to prevent RMTing.

RMTing is simply not an issue for you, and it’s because you are a participant - an obvious one at that.

In every GDKP thread that someone says to ban GDKP I say they need to ban RMT’ers botters and cheaters. I am not a supporter of RMT, I am a supporter of a loot system. Theres a difference, whether youre smart enough to realize it or not.

Let’s put it this way. Is there really nothing that you would sacrifice from GDKP to make is 100% RMT-proof. You really care more about being able to “invest” your DKP in consumes temporarily than in making it 100% impossible to swipe for DKP?

Really? And when you answer “yes” to the above question, you are surprised I think that you are RMTing?

And also, I do not bid on anything in GDKPs, I am there to make money, not spend money. I gear my toons up in regular guild raids before they see a GDKP.

There is only one of us that is saying if you’re going to get rid of GDKP you have to get rid of everything else associated with RMT. That person is not you.

Answer the question.
